set properly, the photo frame may fall over.
• DPF-A72N/D72N only: When the photo frame is
placed in the portrait orientation, the Sony logo
doesn't light up.
• The photo frame does not detect and rotate the
orientation of images when [Auto display
orientation] of [General Settings] on the
(Settings) tab is set to [OFF].
• A magnet is contained in the storage portion of the
stand. Do not keep anything that is easily affected
by magnetism, such as a cash card or credit card,
near the photo frame.
If you place the photo frame near a cathode-ray tube
television, the colors of the television screen may be
affected.
