To connect the Photo Viewer to your TV, do the following:
1 Turn off your TV and other components connected to your TV, such as
your VCR.
2 Plug the AC adapter’s cable into the Photo Viewer’s Power jack, and then plug the
AC adapter into a wall outlet.
3 Connect the Photo Viewer’s yellow Video Out jack directly to a Video In jack on
your TV using the video cable included with your Photo Viewer.
There are several ways to connect the Photo Viewer to your TV, depending on the type of
TV you have and whether you have other components connected to your TV. See the
following diagrams for connection examples.
Example A
If a Video In jack on your TV is available
If your TV has an available Video In jack, simply use the video cable (included) to connect
the Photo Viewer’s yellow Video Out jack to the TV’s Video In jack.
Note that there may be a Video In jack on the front of your TV, and your TV may have
more than one Video In jack.

If all of your TV’s Video In jacks are already in use
If another component, such as a VCR, is already connected to your TV, first disconnect that
component from the TV. Then connect the Photo Viewer according to the diagram
below, connecting the other component to the Photo Viewer’s black Video In jack. In the
example below, the VCR’s video signal automatically passes through when the Photo
Viewer is off.
The Photo Viewer’s yellow

Viewer’s black Video In jack.
Example C
If your TV doesn’t have a Video In jack
If your TV has only an antenna input, connect the Photo Viewer to your TV by
means of a powered RF modulator. You can purchase a powered RF modulator
and an RF cable from a consumer electronics store. Connect the RF modulator
to the TV, and then connect your Photo Viewer to the RF modulator. (See the
user instructions that accompany the RF modulator.)

Microsoft TV Photo Viewer.
1 Slide open the battery compartment door on the
back of the remote control.
2 Insert the batteries, taking care to orient them
properly with the flat (negative) end toward the

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions on battery use.
• Remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly.
• Always recycle or dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local
ordinances.
• If a battery leaks, remove all batteries and thoroughly clean the battery

recommendations for cleanup. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with
skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately.

Viewing Pictures on Your TV
Once you have set up your Photo Viewer, you can start viewing digital pictures on your
TV. To help you get started, try viewing the Quick Tour disk included in the box with
Microsoft TV Photo Viewer.
Viewing Pictures from a Floppy Disk
1 Turn on both your TV and your Photo Viewer.
2 Make sure you’ve selected the proper video input source on your TV, as described
on the previous page.
3 Insert the floppy disk into the Photo Viewer.
4 Press the Forward button once to start reading the disk. Press Forward again to
navigate through the pictures in your album. Or, press Auto to display pictures
automatically as a slideshow.
5 When you’ve finished viewing the pictures on the disk, just eject the disk and put in
another disk to view more pictures.
Searching for a Particular Picture
You can search for a particular picture on a disk by pressing and
holding the Forward or Back button. A small image appears in the
lower right corner of the TV screen, indicating which picture you are
about to view.
The small images are created automatically when you use the TV Photo Viewer
computer software to create a floppy disk. If you choose not to use the software to
create your floppy disk, a small square with a number inside it will appear instead of the
small image.
Viewing Floppy Disks Directly from Your Digital Camera
If you have a digital camera that can take pictures in 640 x 480 JPEG format and save them
to a floppy disk, your Photo Viewer may be able to display those pictures directly on the
TV without first using the TV Photo Viewer software. However, if you have taken pictures
in a format other than 640 x 480 JPEG, you need to use the TV Photo Viewer software to
resize and compress the pictures and put them onto a floppy disk. This is the case for
most digital cameras.
Note about viewing images on your television
• Leaving an image on your television screen for an extended length of time is not
recommended.

Using the TV Photo Viewer Computer Software
to Create Floppy Disks
With the TV Photo Viewer software, you can create your own digital photo albums on
floppy disk, using pictures from your digital camera or other pictures you have saved on
your computer.
What Software Is Included?
The Microsoft TV Photo Viewer compact disc includes two programs:
Microsoft TV Photo Viewer software. Use the TV Photo Viewer software to
create digital photo albums and then save your albums onto floppy disks for
use with the Microsoft TV Photo Viewer device. Once you import pictures
into an album, you can make minor edits, such as cropping pictures or adding
captions.
Microsoft Picture It! Express 2001. For advanced photo-editing features, try
using Picture It! Express to edit your digital pictures before adding them to
your TV Photo Viewer album. For example, you can use Picture It! Express to
adjust color tint, fix red-eye, sharpen the focus, and more.
Installing the TV Photo Viewer Software
To Install the TV Photo Viewer Software on your Computer

Creating a TV Photo Viewer Album on a Floppy Disk
Use the Microsoft TV Photo Viewer software to create digital photo albums, and then save
the albums onto floppy disks. The following is an overview of the basic steps. For more
details, click Help in the TV Photo Viewer software.
1 Download pictures from your digital camera or the Internet, and save the pictures
on your computer’s hard disk or other storage media such as a CD-ROM.
2 If you want to edit your pictures, use Microsoft Picture It! Express or another photo-
editing program, and then save the pictures to your computer’s hard disk before
adding the pictures to your TV Photo Viewer album.
3 Start the TV Photo Viewer software.
4 Click Add Pictures to start adding pictures to your album, using pictures on your
computer’s hard disk or other storage media. When you’ve finished adding pictures,
click Done Adding.
5 Edit and arrange your TV Photo Viewer album. For example, crop or rotate a picture, add
captions to your pictures, or add a title page to your album.
6 Insert a blank 1.44 MB high-density disk (HDD) into your computer’s floppy disk
drive. (One blank disk is included with Microsoft TV Photo Viewer.)
7 Click Create Floppy Disk to save the pictures in your album onto a floppy disk that
you can view on your TV with your Photo Viewer device.
Notes about TV Photo Viewer albums and floppy disks
• Once you save an album to a floppy disk, do not modify the pictures on the disk.
If you want to edit your album, save a backup copy of your album on your
computer that you can modify later.
• For best picture quality, we recommend albums with up to 20 pictures, but you
can add as many as 40 pictures.
• When you use the TV Photo Viewer software to create a floppy disk, the software
copies the original pictures and resizes them to 640 x 480 resolution, optimizing
the size, shape, and color depth for your TV. The software also compresses the files
on the floppy disk, which may result in lower image quality than the original
picture. Therefore, do not use the compressed copies of your pictures on a TV
Photo Viewer floppy disk to permanently store your digital pictures. Instead,
always keep your original pictures on a reliable storage media such as your
computer’s hard disk or a compact disc.
• TV Photo Viewer albums can include pictures with several file formats: JPEG, GIF,
MIX, BMP, and TIF. All pictures are converted to JPEG format when you create an
album on floppy disk using the TV Photo Viewer software. (Note that the original
files are not modified.)

Viewing Sample Photo Albums
To help get you started using your TV Photo Viewer, we’ve included several sample photo
albums with the TV Photo Viewer software. These pictures look great on your TV and can
even be used as TV screensavers!
To use these sample albums, simply start the TV Photo Viewer software, open an album
from the Sample Albums from Corbis folder on your computer, and then click Create
Floppy Disk. Once you’ve created the floppy disk, you can insert the disk into your Photo
Viewer to view the pictures. To view the album as a TV screensaver, press the Auto
button on the remote control and watch the pictures change automatically. For more
details, click Help in the TV Photo Viewer software.
If You Don’t Have a Computer
If you don’t have a computer, your friends and relatives can create TV Photo Viewer
albums on floppy disk and send the disks to you. One copy of the TV Photo Viewer
software is included on the CD-ROM that came with Microsoft TV Photo Viewer. Or,
your friends and relatives can download the TV Photo Viewer software from our Web
site at http://www.microsoft.com/tvphotoviewer/..
Troubleshooting Tips
If you’re having problems viewing pictures on the TV, try the following troubleshooting
tips. For more tips, click Help in the TV Photo Viewer software.
If pressing the Power button does not turn on the green light:
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into a wall outlet and connected securely to the
Photo Viewer’s Power jack. Wait 5 secconds and then try pressing the Power button.
If you don’t see the TV Photo Viewer startup screen:
• Check that the Photo Viewer’s yellow Video Out jack is connected directly to your TV’s
Video In jack, and that the cable connections are secure. If you have a VCR or other
components connected to your TV, connect the Photo Viewer directly to your TV, and
then connect the other components to the Photo Viewer’s Video In jack , as shown in
connection example B on page 6.
•
Make sure you’ve selected the correct video input source from your TV. To do this, turn
on both your TV and your Photo Viewer, and then press the button on your TV or your
TV remote control that changes the video input source. Depending on your TV, this
button may be called Input, Source, or TV/Video.
If you connected your VCR to the Photo Viewer, and now your VCR doesn’t
work:
• Turn off your Photo Viewer when using your VCR, but make sure your Photo Viewer is
plugged into a wall outlet.

5/7/2001, 11:22 PM
If the remote control isn’t working:
• Check that the remote control has fresh batteries installed and that the batteries are
oriented properly.
•
Try moving closer to the Photo Viewer. When you use the remote control, point it
directly at the Photo Viewer.
•
Make sure that bright lights aren’t shining directly at the Photo Viewer. Sometimes
bright lights can interfere with the remote control signal.
If a picture is shown on the title page, but it isn’t displayed on the TV:
Either the picture was deleted from the disk or the picture file has become damaged.
Use the TV Photo Viewer software to re-create the floppy disk.
•
If you see the message “Unable to read images” on your TV screen:
The pictures on the disk may be the wrong size, resolution, or JPEG type, or the disk
may have more than 40 pictures. TV Photo Viewer requires images on the disk to be
640 x 480 baseline JPEG images. Each image must be smaller than 120KB. For best
results, use the the TV Photo Viewer software to put pictures onto floppy disks, so you
don’t have to worry about file types and compression settings.
•
•
The floppy disk may be an unrecognized disk type. Check that the disk is a 1.44 MB
high-density disk (HDD). TV Photo Viewer does not work with other types of disks,
such as low-density disks or Apple Macintosh disks.
•
Physical damage, heat, or magnets may have caused the disk to become unreadable.
Use the TV Photo Viewer software to re-create your album on a different disk.
If some of the images on your disk are not displayed:
The image files are most likely in a file format that the Photo Viewer cannot read. Your
Photo Viewer works with floppy disks that have 640 x 480 baseline JPEG images. Each
image must be smaller than 120KB. We recommend that you use the the TV Photo
Viewer software to put your pictures onto floppy disks, so that you don’t have to worry
about file types and compression settings.
•
•
Physical damage, heat, or magnets may have caused some of the files on the disk to
become unreadable. Use the TV Photo Viewer software to re-create your album on a
different disk.
If you see numbers instead of small images in the lower right corner when
you navigate rapidly through the pictures:
• Some of the files on the disk were modified after the disk was created with the TV
Photo Viewer software. Or, if you chose not to use the TV Photo Viewer software to
create the floppy disk, a small square with a number inside it will always appear
instead of a small image. (The small images are created automatically when you use
the TV Photo Viewer software to create an album on floppy disk.)

Garantie Limitée
GARANTIE LIMITÉE. Microsoft garantit que, pendant une période de d’un (1) an à compter de la date
d’acquisition, le Matériel Informatique ci-inclus sera exempt de défaut de matière première ou de vice de
fabrication dans des conditions normales d’utilisation et d’entretien. Si une garantie ou condition
implicite est créée par votre État ou votre territoire et qu’une loi fédérale ou provinciale ou État en
interdit le déni, vous pouvez également jouir d’une garantie ou condition implicite, mais uniquement pour les défauts découverts durant la période d’un an de la présente garantie limitée. Il n’y a
aucune garantie ou condition de quelque nature que ce soit quant aux défauts découverts après
cette période d’un an. Certains États ou territoires ne permettent pas de limiter la durée d’une
garantie ou condition implicite de sorte que la limitation ci-dessus peut ne pas s’appliquer à vous.
RECOURS DU CLIENT. La seule responsabilité de Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs et votre unique recours
sont, au choix de Microsoft, soit (a) le remboursement du prix payé, ou (b) la réparation ou le remplacement du Matériel Informatique qui n’est pas conforme à la Garantie Limitée de Microsoft et qui est retourné à Microsoft avec une copie de votre reçu d’achat. Cette Garantie Limitée est nulle si la défectuosité
du Matériel Informatique résulte d’un accident, d’un abus d’utilisation ou d’un usage non approprié. Tout
Matériel Informatique de remplacement sera garanti pendant le reste de la période de garantie initiale ou
pendant trente (30) jours, selon la période la plus longue.
EXCLUSION DE TOUTE AUTRE GARANTIE. Dans toute la mesure permise par la législation en vigueur,
Microsoft et ses fournisseurs excluent toute autre garantie et condition, expresse ou implicite, y compris,
mais sans limitation, toute garantie et condition implicite de qualité marchande, d’adaptation à une fin
particulière, du titre de propriété et d’absence de contrefaçon, relativement au Matériel Informatique et à
la prestation des services de soutien technique ou de l’omission d’une telle prestation. Cette garantie
limitée vous accorde des droits spécifiques reconnus par la loi. Il est possible que vous en ayez d’autres
variant d’un état ou d’une juridiction à l’autre.
ABSENCE DE RESPONSABILITÉ POUR LES DOMMAGES INDIRECTS ET ACCESSOIRES. Dans toute la
mesure permise par la législation applicable, Microsoft et ses fournisseurs ne sont en aucun cas
responsables de dommages spéciaux, indirects ou accessoires quels qu’ils soient (y compris, mais
sans limitation, la perte de profits, l’interruption des affaires, la perte de renseignements commerciaux ou toute autre perte pécuniaire), découlant de l’utilisation de, ou de l’impossibilité d’utiliser,
ce Matériel Informatique de Microsoft ou de la prestation des services de soutien technique ou
de l’omission d’une telle prestation, même si Microsoft a été avisée de l’éventualité de tels dommages. Dans tous les cas, la responsabilité intégrale de Microsoft aux termes de toute disposition
de la présente garantie limitée se limite au plus élevé entre les montants suivants : le montant
que vous avez réellement payé pour le Matériel Informatique ou un montant équivalent à
5,00 $US. en devises locales. Puisque certains états ou juridictions ne permettent pas l’exclusion
ou la limitation de la responsabilité à l’égard de dommages accessoires ou indirects, il est possible
que la restriction ci-dessus ne vous concerne pas.
Si vous avez acquis ce produit aux États-Unis, cette convention est régie par les lois de l’État de
Washington.
Si vous avez acquis ce produit au Canada, cette convention est régie par les lois en vigueur dans la province d’Ontario. Chacune des parties à la présente reconnaît irrévocablement la compétence des tribunaux de la province d’Ontario et consent à instituer tout litige qui pourrait découler de la présente auprès
