HOW TO USE

the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader

Page 25

This section describes the operation relating to the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader and digital media cards. To avoid complications while attempting to use your Dazzle card reader, Dazzle recommends reading this entire chapter. For installation information, refer to “Chapter 2: Connecting to a Macintosh” (page 7) or “Chapter 3: Connecting to a PC Compatible” (page 13).

Digital Media Card Compatibility

The Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader is a USB card reader/writer compatible with CompactFlash Type I & II, IBM Microdrive, SmartMedia, Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, and Memory Stick digital media. Information regarding supported media types and capacities is detailed below:

The Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader is compatible with:

- SmartMedia cards in the 3.3 Volt SSFDC format only, in current capacities of up to 128MB

- All current CompactFlash cards available on the market, as well as cards in the CF II and

CF+Type II formats, such as the IBM Microdrive

- Most brands of MultiMediaCard and Secure Digital formats

- Memory Stick as well as MagicGate Memory Stick media

NOTE: Secure mode of Sony MagicGate is not supported.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The lower media slot of the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader was designed to accept SmartMedia, Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, and Memory Stick. Only one of the four supported media types may be inserted at one time.

Inserting a SmartMedia Card

Position the SmartMedia card in the direction as shown in the illustration on the next page.

Insert the card into the lower media slot with the gold contact facing down. Gently push the card in all the way until the card is fixed in place.

WARNING: Be careful not to insert the SmartMedia card in the wrong direction. Be sure to insert the SmartMedia with the gold contacts facing down. If it is forced in, the card reader or the SmartMedia may be damaged, or data on the card may be lost or corrupted. If the computer

is not recognizing the media, or if it does not fit correctly, re-orientate the media and try reinserting it.

USER'S MANUAL

Page 26

Inserting a SmartMedia Card (continued)

Insert the SmartMedia card as shown below. The Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader can only accept 3.3V SmartMedia cards. Notice the notched corner of the SmartMedia card. The location of the notch for a 3.3V SmartMedia card will appear on the right-hand side when you are looking directly at the gold contacts from the top - refer to the illustration at the bottom of the page. Flip the card over and be sure to insert the (3.3V) SmartMedia card with the gold contacts facing down (therefore the notch will now be located on the left when the gold contacts are face down).

IMPORTANT NOTE: 5V SmartMedia cards are not supported with the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader.

Inserting a CompactFlash Card

NOTE: When using a Microdrive concurrent with another media, the reader becomes a high power device requiring direct connection to the host computer or self-powered hub.

Position the CompactFlash card in the direction as shown in the illustration below. Insert the card into the top media slot being certain of the orientation - all leading

manufacturers of CompactFlash cards adhere to a specification requiring a positive keying of the card. Gently push the card in all the way until the card is locked in place. The card will slide in on the molded rails and a slight amount of resistance will be felt as the connectors make contact. This is normal.

WARNING: Be careful not to insert the CompactFlash card in the wrong direction - be sure the connectors are facing inward and the card is not inserted upside down. If it is forced in, the card reader or CompactFlash card may be damaged or data on the card may be lost or corrupted.

IMPORTANT: If excessive force is required or the card just doesn’t seem to fit, do not attempt to force the card in the reader, instead, contact Dazzle Technical Support for assistance.

Inserting a MultiMediaCard or Secure Digital Card

Position the MultiMediaCard or Secure Digital card in the direction as shown in the illustration below. A portion of the lower media slot was designed for insertion of MultiMediaCard and Secure Digital cards. This portion of the media slot will use the top of the SmartMedia slot as a guide. The Secure Digital or MultiMediaCard will slide in just above the SmartMedia slot.

Insert the card into the slot with the gold contacts facing up. Gently push the card in all the way until the card is fixed in place.

IMPORTANT: Notice the notched corner of the MultiMediaCard or Secure Digital card and be careful not to insert the MultiMediaCard/Secure Digital card in the wrong direction. To insert properly, be sure that the card is positioned so that the recessed notch is located on the upper left corner. You should see the media’s gold contacts when inserting it into the slot. When inserted properly, the gold contacts will be visible and farthest from you as you look at it from the top. Refer to the illustration below for proper insertion.

WARNING: Insert the card gently. If it is forced in, the card reader or the actual card may be damaged, or data on the card may be lost or corrupted. If excessive force is required, or the card just doesn’t seem to fit, do not attempt to force the card in the reader, instead contact Dazzle Technichal Support for assistance.

NOTE:To utilize advanced features of Secure Digital cards as well as locking and encryption features, please refer to the documentation provided with your Secure Digital card or host device.

Mounting and Accessing a Card (Macintosh)

After a card is inserted on a Macintosh computer, a distinct icon will appear on the Mac OS desktop. This is the “mounted” state, which enables read and write operations for the card. The time required between card insertion and mounting depends on the type and brand of card. Usually, a card can be mounted and accessed within a few seconds.

When a card is mounted, it can be used in the same fashion as a floppy or other type of removable disk. Double-click the icon to open it's respective file window. For example, in the screen shot below - an IBM 340MB Microdrive was inserted into the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader. By doubleclicking on the Microdrive icon you will see it contains 10 high resolution TIF images taken on a professional digital camera. The images stored on this Microdrive can be copied, opened, edited, deleted, and so forth. With the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader, audio and video files, cell phone dat abases, and more can now be shared easily between your digital device (camera, cell phone, MP3 player, etc) and your Macintosh.

IMPORTANT: Be sure you have installed the Dazzle 6 In 1 Reader drivers prior to attempting to operate the card reader. Also be sure the Apple "File Exchange" control panel is set to load in your system folder - you can activate it using the Apple "Extensions Manager" control panel.

Dazzle OnDVD Software

INTRODUCTION

Dazzle OnDVD is easy-to-use software that lets you take your digital pictures and turn them into a slideshow you can record to a CD for playback on your DVD player. Simply select the pictures you want to put into your slideshow (maximum 50 0 pictures per CD), arrange them on the timeline and record the slideshow to a CD with your CD-Recorder.

OnDVD records two copies of your pictures to the CD disc. The first session is a slideshow in the VideoCD (VCD) format, which can be played back in a DVD player (or VCD player), connected to your TV. The second session is a backup copy of all your high qualit y pictures, which can be read back from your PC's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. If you put the CD into a DVD Player, the slideshow will automatically play. If you put the CD into your PC, you can automatically look at the archived pictures.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My slideshow won't play on my DVD player.

a) Check the Owner's Manual of your DVD player to see if it can read VCDs (VideoCDs). If

it can, go on to step b. If it cannot, you will not be able to view your slideshow on this DVD player.

b) If you recorded the slideshow onto a CD-R disc, check the Owner's Manual of your

DVD player to see if your DVD player can read CD-R discs. If it can read a CD-R disc but it will not play the slideshow, you probably have a damaged CD-R disc. Re-record it and try again. If your DVD player cannot read CD-R discs, re-record your slideshow to a CDRW disc and try to play it again.

c) If you recorded the slideshow onto a CD-RW disc and it will still not play, check the

bottom of the CD-RW disc for fingerprints or scratches. Re-record to a new CD-RW disc if necessary.

d) If you are unable to find information in your DVD player Owners Manual, you can often

find the information on the Internet. Check the DVD player's manufacturer website. You can also visit www.vcdhelp.com for information on many different DVD players.

I can't read the archived files from the CD on my PC.

a) You must use the included file viewer program to read the CD from your PC. b) If the viewer program did not automatically launch when you inserted the CD, remove

the CD and re-insert it. c) If the viewer program still did not launch, click on the 'Viewer.exe' file on the CD. d) If the viewer launched and no files are visible, re-record the CD and try again.

TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)

I can't record to my CD-Recorder. Does OnDVD support my CD-Recorder?

a) OnDVD supports almost all commercially available CD-Recorders and new recorders are

constantly being added. If you cannot record to your CD-Recorder, check the Dazzle

website for software upgrades.

b) If you downloaded all upgrades and you can still not record to your CD-Recorder, call

technical support to check on when support for your CD-Recorder will be added.
