Viewing, Printing, and Saving
Photos
You can use the digital photo card slots and printer built into your TV, and on the external
CD-R/RW drive, to view, print, and save digital photos, as described in these sections:
• “Viewing Photos on a Digital Photo Card or CD” below
• “Freezing an Image for Printing” on page 86
• “Printing Photos” on page 89
• “Saving Photos to CD” on page 95
Viewing Photos on a Digital Photo Card or CD
You can view photos on your TV screen from a compatible digital photo card or a CD. You
can also enlarge and rotate your photos and view them in a slide show.
• “Inserting a Photo Card” below
• “Inserting a CD” on page 80
• “Enlarging and Rotating the Photos” on page 83
• “Viewing a Slide Show” on page 84
Inserting a Photo Card
Make sure your photo card uses the file structure and naming conventions defined in the
DCF standard so the Photo viewer can display your photos. Your photo card must contain
folders and files using the following structure and format:
• The folder structure must be:
root/DCIM/
or
root/DCIM/123abcde
Where root is the root directory with a DCIM folder beneath it. Your photos may be in
the DCIM directory or in a folder beneath it. Any folders beneath the DCIM folder must
be no more than 8 characters long, usually three numbers followed by up to 5 alphabetic
characters, such as 100epson. Most digital cameras automatically format the files this way,
but if you copy photos to the photo card using another device, you may need to set up
this structure yourself.
• The photo files must be in JPEG format and named:
abcd1234.jpg
Where abcd1234 is a file name 8 characters long, beginning with 4 letters and ending
with 4 numbers higher than 0000, such as in epsn1001.jpg.
Note
Your TV can view photos in
JPEG (Joint Photographic
Experts Group) format on
cards that are DCF (Design
rule for Camera File system)
version 1.0 compliant.
You cannot insert a
Microdrive
™ disc in your TV.

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.
