Using The Audio/Photocard Reader; Overview - Loewe Centros 1172 Operating Manual

Using the audio/photocard reader

Overview

About the system
You can use the digital audio/photo card reader
built into the DVD recorder to display on the screen
images from digital cameras with the most common
memory cards.
MP3 audio fi les can also be played. You can create
and play a programme list consisting of a selection
of MP3 titles.
You use the Loewe DVD recorder's remote control to
operate the audio/photo card reader.
When the memory card is inserted, you can use the
CARD button to switch to using the audio/
photo card reader. An overview will appear of the
images or MP3 fi les stored on the card - depending
on the last method of use.
If there are over 9 images stored, you can use
or to go to other pages of the
overview.
You can manually mark and view an image, and
switch to the next or previous image.
You can rotate images that were taken in portrait
mode, or that need to be turned upside-down.
The Slide show function can be used to automati-
cally move on to the next image. You can use the
menu to specify how quickly the images should be
changed (see page 41).
MP3 or JPEG fi les can be copied from a data CD to
a memory card with enough free storage space, so
that they can be played on, e.g., portable playback
devices (see page 37).

further details about JPEG fi les, refer to page 38.

If the memory card is formatted on a PC or Mac, to
then save a series of pictures on the card, it must be
formatted in FAT 12, 16 or 32. Memory cards with
