Chapter 1: Setting Up

Introduction

Welcome to Dazzle™ Universal TV Photo

Show, a simple-to-use product that

brings your digital photos to your living

room to share with family and friends.

In just minutes, you can go from

snapping a photo to viewing it full

screen on your TV.

You can even rotate, zoom and pan

images – or see them in an automatic slide show.

And for more versatility, you can also connect the unit to your computer as a

removable drive. Once the images are on your computer, you can print, e-

mail or archive them.

Setting up Universal TV Photo Show

The package includes the following components:

• Universal TV Photo Show hardware unit

• Power supply

• Video cable

• Remote control

• 2 AA batteries for remote control

• Universal TV Photo Show User’s Guide

Setting up is quick and easy – just plug in the connections and you’re ready to

go. The rest of this chapter details setting up to view photos on your TV. See

Chapter 5 for instructions on using it with your computer.

1-3

Here is an illustration of the complete connections required. We’ll go through

each step individually with more detailed instructions on the following pages.

1-

4

Step 1: Install the remote’s batteries

The remote control requires two AA batteries (included).

1. Slide open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.

2. Insert two new batteries, making sure the +/- electrodes are facing the

proper direction (see the diagram inside the battery compartment).

3. Slide the battery compartment cover back, clicking it shut.

Note: When you use the remote control, remember to point it at the front of

the Universal TV Photo Show unit, not at the TV. It’s the unit itself that

signals the commands to the TV.

1-5

Step 2: Connect the Universal TV Photo Show to your TV

Plug one end of the video cable into the yellow VIDEO IN connector on the

front or back of your television, then plug the other end into the yellow TV OUT

connector on the back of the Universal TV Photo Show.

1-

6

Note: Some older TVs do not have RCA Video In connectors. They use

coaxial cable instead (you’ll know that you have one if the video

cable plug doesn’t fit).

In that case, you will need to connect through an RF modulator

(not included). You can purchase an RF modulator and cable

from your local electronics store.

Follow the instructions included with the RF modulator to connect it to

your TV. Then plug one end of the video cable into the yellow VIDEO

IN connector on the RF modulator, and plug the other end into the TV

OUT connector on the back of the Universal TV Photo Show. Set your

TV to the channel that you set the RF modulator (usually 3 or 4).

1-7

Step 3: Connect the power supply

Connect the power cable to the Universal TV Photo Show power connector

(labeled 6V) and then plug the AC adapter into an electric outlet.

Step 4: Select the setting

Check the NTSC/PAL switch on the back of the Universal TV Photo Show

unit, to make sure it is correct.

In Japan, the United States and Canada, the switch should be set to NTSC.

In China and Europe, it should be set to PAL.

1-9

Step 5: Insert your memory card

After you’ve taken photos with your digital camera, you need to remove the

memory card according to your camera’s instructions. Universal TV Photo

Show works with SmartMedia™ (3.3V only), CompactFlash™ , Microdrive™,

Secure Digital™, Memory Stick™ and Multimedia™ (MMC) cards.

It’s important that you insert your card correctly into the unit, so that you do

not damage your card or the photos that are on it.

1. There are two memory card slots on the front of the unit. Each type of

memory card has a specific way that it needs to go into the slot so that the

images can be read correctly. Position the card in the correct direction:

1-11

2. Then slide the card all the way into the appropriate slot (it will click into

place). You can only use one memory card at a time.

Note: The slot is designed to accept the card only if you insert it in the

correct direction. If the card does not slide in easily, check that

you are positioning it properly – do not force it into the slot or you

will cause damage to the card and lose your photos.

Step 6: Turn on the Universal TV Photo Show

On the side of the unit:

• Slide the POWER switch to ON. Check that the green light on the front of

the unit comes on, ensuring that it is receiving power.

1-13

Step 7: Set up your TV

1. Turn on your TV.

2. Set your TV to the appropriate video input source. Note that television

manufacturers handle this differently, so there are several options. You will

know that you have set it up correctly when your photos begin to appear on

the screen.

You can check the manual that came with your TV for detailed information,

or:

• Your TV or TV’s remote control may have a TV/VCR, TV/VIDEO, SOURCE

or INPUT button that changes the video input. Press that button to

switch between the available video inputs. If your remote has more

than one of these buttons, try them all.

• If you don’t have these buttons, your TV may have a channel called

LINE (frequently found before Channel 2). Click through your TV’s

channels until you find it.

3. Universal TV Photo Show then displays an automatic slide show of your

photos.

Turning off Universal TV Photo Show

If you are done with unit for the moment, but expect to use it again soon,

press the Power button on the remote control, leaving everything else

connected. When you are ready to use it again, press the Power button

and it will start.

If you are finished using the unit for some time, press the Power button on the

remote to turn it off and then slide the switch on the side of the unit to OFF. You

can then safely disconnect it and pull out the memory card. If you pull the

card out unexpectedly, you risk damaging your card and losing the photos on

it.

Note: Remove the memory card from the unit when not in use or when

you are transporting it.

several languages. You can change to a different language at any time.

To change the language:

1. Press the Option button on the

remote control.

2. The following menu appears. Press

the down arrow to move the arrow

beside the Setup option and press

OK to select it.
