b) selecting two predetermined axes of the set of three axes and a contents list according to a selection by a DMP user of
an operation to be performed within the DLNA system; and
c) configuring and displaying a user interface of the DMP using two frames for the display of the two predetermined axes and
using one frame for the display of the contents list according to the selection of step b);
wherein when one of the two predetermined axes is a renderer axis and predetermined contents of the contents list are selected,
the configuring and displaying step further comprises the step of displaying within a frame for displaying the renderer axis
only renderer devices capable of outputting a format for supporting the predetermined contents.
