Viewing photos
Your player can display JPG and JPEG photos. No other photo formats are supported. To display

found on the enclosed CD or another program that can create JPEGs. We recommend that you compress
the JPEGs to a 320×240 resolution to maximize your memory space on the player. Using the included Media
Converter significantly reduces the file size and allows you to store many more photos on the player.
