Chapter 1: Setting Up
Introduction
Welcome to Dazzle™ 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 TV Photo Show to your computer
as a removable drive. Once the images are on your computer, you can print,
e-mail or archive them.

Setting up TV Photo Show
The TV Photo Show package includes the following:
•TV Photo Show power supply
•Video cable
•Remote control
•TV Photo Show user’sguide
Setting up TV Photo Show 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 3 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: Connect TV Photo Show to your TV
Plug the larger end of the video cable into the yellow VIDEO IN connector on
the front or back of your television, then plug the smaller end into the VIDEO
connector on the back of TV Photo Show.

1-5
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 with TV Photo Show). 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 the larger end of the video cable into the yellow
VIDEO IN connector on the RF modulator, and plug the smaller end into
the VIDEO connector on the back of TV Photo Show. Set your TV to the
channel that you set the RF modulator (usually 3 or 4).

1-6
Step 2: Connect the power
Connect the power supply to TV Photo Show’s DC IN socket and then plug the
AC adapter into an electric outlet.

1-7
Step 3: Turn on TV Photo Show
On the side of the TV Photo Show unit:
•Slide the POWER switch to ON. Check that the green light on the front
of TV Photo Show comes on, ensuring that it is receiving power.

1-8
Step 4: Install the remote’s batteries
The remote control requires two AA batteries (included with TV Photo Show).
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 TV Photo Show unit, not at the TV. It’s the unit itself that
signals the commands to the TV.

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. TV Photo Show works
with SmartMedia™ (3.3V only), CompactFlash™ and Microdrive™ cards.
Move the visor door on the front of TV Photo Show to reveal the appropriate
memory card slot. The slot on the top accommodates a SmartMedia card,
while the bottom slot fits a CompactFlash or Microdrive card.

1-10
2. Position the card in the correct direction.
•A CompactFlash or Microdrive card needs
to be positioned with the arrow on the card
facing down.
•Position a CompactFlash card with the
bottom ridge and side notches facing up.
•A SmartMedia card (3.3V only) needs to be
inserted with the notch positioned in the top
left corner (the gold contacts must be
facing down).
3. Then slide the card all the way into the
appropriate slot (it will click into place).
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. If you
force the card into the slot improperly, you will cause damage to
the card.

Step 6: 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 the TV Photo Show introduction
screens and main menu appear.
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. TV Photo Show then displays an introduction screen, followed by a menu of
choices as explained in the following chapter.

Chapter 2: Using TV Photo Show
with Your TV
Sit back in your favorite chair and get ready to control your own TV slide show
of your favorite photos. All you need to navigate is the remote control included
with TV Photo Show.
Notice how easy it is to use the remote. Each task has its own clearly identified
button for quick selection.
Note: Remember to point the remote at the front of the TV Photo Show unit,
not at the TV. It’s the unit itself that signals the commands to the TV.
When you start up TV Photo Show, you see an introductory screen, followed by
a menu screen. You have three options on the menu: to view your photos,
change the language, or change the card.

2-2
Changing the language
The menus and messages in TV Photo
Show are available in several different
languages.
To change the language:
1. On the Main Menu, press the down
arrow to move the arrow beside the
Select Language option.
2. Press OK to select it.
3. A screen appears, showing your
language options. Use the arrows to move the arrow beside the language
you prefer. Then press OK.
4. This returns you to the Main Menu, which will now be in your chosen
language.

2-3
Changing your card
This option allows you to insert and work with a different memory card. You
should also choose this option whenever you are leaving TV Photo Show and
need to remove your memory card.
Note: If you unexpectedly pull out the memory card, you risk damaging the
card and losing some of your photos.
To change your card:
1. On the Main Menu, select the Change Card option.
2. A message appears, telling you that it is safe to remove your memory card
and replace it with a new one.
3. When you do insert the new memory card, TV Photo Show starts up again,
displaying the introductory screens and then the Main Menu.
