– When the remote control will not be used for a

long period of time, remove the battery from the
remote control to prevent leaking and corrosion.

– Incorrectly inserting, shorting, dismantling, or

heating the battery, or throwing it into a fire
may cause the battery to rupture or leak.

Setting the stand

1 Hold the photo frame tightly and

insert the stand straight into the
screw hole on the rear panel.

Basic operations

About descriptions in this
manual

The operations described in this manual are
based on remote control operation. When an
operation is performed differently, for example,
with the remote control and the buttons on the
photo frame, it will be explained in a tip.

When the photo frame is placed in the portrait
orientation, the image is also automatically
rotated to its proper orientation.

The directions indicated on the direction button
on the rear panel depend on the orientation of
the photo frame.

To display the photo frame on the wall

You can hang the photo frame on the wall
using the following procedure.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

suitable for the screw holes on the
rear panel.

4mm (3/16 inch)

Notes

• Check whether the stand is stable. If the stand is not
set properly, the photo frame may fall over.

• 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] 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 CRT-based television, the color of the TV’s
display may be changed.

Inserting a memory card

To remove a memory card

Remove the memory card from its slot in the
opposite direction from which it was inserted.

Insert the memory card firmly into the
corresponding slot with its label side
facing toward you (when you are facing
the back side of the photo frame).

The access lamp flashes when the memory card
is inserted correctly. Reinsert the memory card
after checking the label side of the memory
card if the access lamp does not flash.

Attach the slot cover supplied with this photo
frame when you insert the memory card and
leave it inserted for a long time.

For details on the memory cards you can use
with this photo frame, see pages 79 to 81.

Access lamp

Notes

• When inserting the memory card, it will only insert
part of the way, so do not try to force it as this could
damage the memory card and/or photo frame.

• This photo frame has a slot that is both a “Memory
Stick” standard and Duo size compatible slot, so
you do not need a “Memory Stick” adaptor.

• The SD memory card/xD-Picture Card dual­purpose slot automatically detects the card type.

• Before using a memory card, see “About memory
cards” on page 79.

Basic operations

Insert the memory card firmly into the
corresponding slot with its label side facing
toward you. The slot order from the top is
“Memory Stick” (“Memory Stick Duo”),
CompactFlash card, SD memory card and xD­Picture Card.

Display priority of images

If a memory card is inserted or an external device is
connected, the images of the inserted memory card or
connected device are displayed automatically.

To manually change the memory card or external
device to be displayed, specify it in (Select
device) menu (page 45).

The photo frame displays the images of the
memory card in the following priorities.

• Memory card t The device connected to the
EXT INTERFACE connector t internal
memory

• If multiple memory cards are inserted when the
photo frame is turned on, the images of the first

memory card you inserted take priority and are
displayed.

• If multiple devices are inserted while the photo
frame is turned off, the priority order for display is
as follows.
“Memory Stick” b CompactFlash card
b SD memory card/xD-Picture Card b internal
memory
However, priority is given to the device which was
displayed on the screen when you turned the photo
frame to OFF.

• If no memory card is inserted and no device is
connected, the images saved in the album in the
internal memory are displayed.

Notes

• Due to one of the characteristics of the internal
memory device, images stored for long time or read
many times may be subject to data error when read
too often.

• The photo frame can display JPEG image files
compatible with DCF format or RAW files taken by
a Sony digital camera. Any other file (such as files
made or edited using a computer or RAW files
taken by digital cameras other than a Sony digital
camera, etc.) may not be displayed.

Precautions

Safety

• Be careful not to set or drop any heavy
objects on the power cord, or to damage the
power cord in any way. Never operate this
photo frame with a damaged power cord.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the photo frame and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.

• Never disassemble the photo frame.

• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the power cord itself.

• When the photo frame is not going to be
used for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet.

• Do not handle the photo frame roughly.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the photo frame from the electrical
outlet before cleaning and servicing the
photo frame.

Installation

• Avoid placing the photo frame in a location
subject to:
– vibration
–humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures

• Do not use electrical equipment near the
photo frame. The photo frame will not work
properly in electromagnetic fields.

• Do not place heavy objects on the photo
frame.

On the AC adaptor

• Even if your photo frame is turned off, AC
power (house current) is still supplied to it

while it is connected to the wall outlet via the
AC adaptor.

• Be sure to use the AC adaptor supplied with
the photo frame. Do not use other AC
adaptors, as this may cause a malfunction.

• Do not use the supplied AC adaptor for other
devices.

• Do not use an electrical transformer (travel
converter), as this may cause overheating or
a malfunction.

• In case the cord of the AC adaptor is
damaged, do not use it any longer, as this
may be dangerous.

On moisture condensation

If the photo frame is brought directly from a
cold location to a warm location or placed in an
extremely warm or humid room, moisture may
condense inside the unit. In such cases the
photo frame will probably not work properly
and may even develop a fault if you persist in
using it. If moisture condensation occurs,
unplug the AC power cord of the photo frame
and do not use the photo frame for at least one
hour.

On transport

When you transport the photo frame, remove
the memory card, external devices, AC adaptor,
and connected cables from the photo frame and
put the photo frame and its peripherals in the
original box with the protective packaging.

If you no longer have the original box and
packing parts, use similar packing material so
that the photo frame will not be damaged while
being transported.

Cleaning

Clean the photo frame with a soft dry cloth, or a
soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may
damage the finish.

hand or a metal object.

• Do not strike, bend or drop a card.

• Do not disassemble or modify a card.

• Do not expose a card to water.

• Do not use or store a card under the
following conditions:
– Locations beyond the required operational

conditions including locations such as the
hot interior of a car parked in the sun and/
or in the summer, the outdoors exposed to
direct sunlight, or a place near a heater.
