Compatible Photos and File Structure (CD)

If you create a CD-R/RW of your photos using a computer, make sure that you use the file
structure and naming conventions defined in the DCF standard so the photo viewer can
display your photos. Your CD-R/RW must contain folders and files using the following
structure and format:

The folder structure must be:

D:\nnnnnnnn\

where D: is the drive letter of your CD drive and nnnnnnnn is a folder up to 8 characters
long, such as \pictures. Any folders beneath the first level folder must also be no more
than 8 characters long.

The photo files must be named:

nnnnnnnn.jpg

where nnnnnnnn is a file name up to 8 characters long (consisting of alphanumeric
characters and the ~ and _ symbols), such as photo001.jpg. The file must be in JPEG
format.

The photo files must contain a time stamp, so the slide show can display the files in time
stamp order.

The photo files should contain thumbnail data, such as that included in Exif format
JPEG files, to speed up display of the files in the photo viewer.

You cannot use the TV to write photos to a CD-R/RW disc that was previously written to by
a computer. You can view and print photos from these discs, but you cannot write new photos
to them using your TV. This is because your TV and computer use different methods for
writing files. When you want to write photos to a CD-R/RW, use a new, blank disc.

Inserting a CD

Before you view photos on a CD, make sure you’ve connected the external CD-R/RW drive
that came with your TV. See page 15 for instructions.

Follow these steps to insert a CD-R/RW in your external CD-R/RW drive:

1

Make sure the TV is turned on and the Power light is green and not flashing.

2

Press the eject button on the drive to open the tray.

Note

The photo viewer cannot
display, enlarge, or print TIF
images. You see only the

icon on the viewer

screens for TIF images. You
can write TIF images to a
CD-R/RW and view them
on your computer,
however.
