Getting Started
The following chapter provides step-by-step instructions on setting
up your Digital Picture Frame for the first time.
a. Unpacking your Digital Picture Frame
The box should include:
-SP-DPF 56N digital picture frame
-User Manual
-Remote Control
-Video Cable
-USB cable
-AC Power Adapter
-Fold out stand
-Sliver Color Frame
b. Removing the protective plastic film from the LCD panes
The digital picture frame ships with a protective plastic film on its
LCD panel to protect it from being scratched during the
manufacturing and shipping process.
We suggest you remove the film to improve the quality / clarity of

www.smartpartsproducts.com Page 6
the picture. Please be advised however that the LCD screen
scratch easily and the film will protect it.
c. Attaching the fold out stand
Pls attach the fold out stand to the back of the frame. The stand is
designed to hold the frame in the viewing angle desired by you.
Simply slide the leg up or down to change the height of the stand
to alter the viewing angle.
d. Connecting the frame to the Power Supply
Use only the supplied AC power supply. Make sure that the
frame’s power switch is in the OFF position before you connect or
disconnect the power supply.
Plug the AC power supply only into a 120 VAC 60 Hz (regular
North American) wall outlets – connecting the frame to a different
power source or wall outlet will harm the unit and void the
warranty.
e. Connecting the frame to your computer (optional)
Use the supplied USB cable and connect the frame to your
computer.
The Hardware wizard will show that you connected a new device
and will recognize it as a disk drive.
No software needs to be installed. Just follow the start menu and
click on “My Computer” – your memory card will be listed under
“Devices with Removable Storage”. You can open it by double
clicking on the icon representing your memory card. Most likely
this device will be named after the manufacturer of your memory
card.
There will be no data available as long as you do not insert a
memory card into your frame.
Once you insert a memory you will see the respective drive on
your computer and you will be able to access your pictures and
the frame can act as a regular card reader.
Please note that the Digital Picture Frame will not display pictures
while it is connected to a computer. Please disconnect the USB
cable to view pictures.

www.smartpartsproducts.com Page 7
f. Connecting your digital picture frame to your TV
Please use the supplied Video cable and connect the Digital
Picture Frame to your TV. Use the “Video Out” connection on
your frame and plug the “yellow” connector of the cable into a
Video-In connection on your TV – it should be a yellow plug on
your TV.
Please switch the “Input” selector on your TV to find the source
for the Digital Picture Frame – just like connecting a DVD player
or VCR.
Now you can review the contents of your memory card on your
TV. Please use your remote control to operate the Digital Picture
Frame. In this mode the Digital Picture Frame uses your TV
screen as a display – the display on your frame will go black!
Changing & adding pictures on your memory card
The following chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to
add and format pictures from your computer onto your memory
card for viewing in your Digital Picture Frame.
TECHNICAL ALERT:
The pictures have to be stored in the correct folder on your
memory for the Digital Picture Frame to display the pictures!
The pictures have to be stored in the right file format with the
correct file naming!
a. View Contents on your memory card
After you connect your frame to your computer you can see your
memory card under “My Computer” as an external drive. By
clicking on the symbol you will get access to the DCIM folder. All
pictures are stores in this folder and all NEW pictures HAVE to be
stored in this folder as well.

www.smartpartsproducts.com Page 8
b. Formatting the Pictures from your computer
The preferred file format for the Digital Picture Frame is JPEG.
However, there are different variations of the JPEG format and
not all formats can be read by the Digital Picture Frame or your
Digital Camera.
We recommend using standard Microsoft picture editing software
to save your pictures in JPEG format. Even PHOTOSHOP or
PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS files should be opened in a standard
Microsoft Picture Editor and saved as a JPEG file to the memory
card.
We also recommend naming the pictures without using
underscores or more then 4 number digits in the name.
c. Using Smartparts Website for HELP
We provide a useful tool on our website to help you:
- Save your pictures in the proper and readable
format
- Name your pictures so the Digital Picture Frame
can find and read it
- Save it in the proper resolution – so you can
maximize the space on your memory card and
speed up the functions in your Digital Picture
Frame
Please log on to www.smartpartsproducts.com and click on “My
Photos”.
Please register under your name – your access will be
immediate.
Now you can browse for the pictures on your computer and
upload and preview them in the frame illustrated on our website.

your memory card.
