Display Settings
The Display Settings tab allows you to congure the Mirage on-screen display options. Your
monitor or TV display should be plugged into the DVI or HDMI ports on your MMS before
turning on the server.
NOTE
Some HDMI receivers and switches are not compatible with the MMS. If you receive an error
message on screen, or if the MMS seems non-responsive, try plugging the HDMI cable directly
into the display, bypassing any adaptors, switches, or AV receivers.
On-screen Display Resolution
The Screen Resolution section allows you to choose between 720p and 1080p display output.
(The MMS·2 only supports 720p video output.) Please check the available resolutions on your
display to determine if it compatible with the available output resolutions on the MMS.
Conguring The Screen Saver
The Screen Saver checkbox lets you enable or disable the built in screen saver on the MMS OSD.

or expanding the list will reveal the shared folders for music and photos.
