tion. Such a delay is normal for this mode of operation. Only one user
at a time can control the Presentation Player. The supported display res-
olutions are 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. Please see your Windows docu-
mentation for more information on changing your display settings.

Once uploaded, anyone can use the remote control to view the presen-
tation on a monitor, so take precautions if your presentation contains
sensitive or confidential material.
The PC attempting to upload a presentation must have Microsoft
PowerPoint 97 or later installed.
Some features, such as animation, hyperlinks, and sound will not be
available once your presentation is uploaded.
The Presentation Player comes with 32Mb of storage for your presen-
tations. This should allow enough room for users to store several pre-
sentations. However, be sure to remove your presentations when they
are no longer needed to make room for newer files.
