Overview

JPEG VIEWER is an application to view JPEG files in a “Memory Stick,” and
create a screen saver on the RM-NX7000 remote control.

Non support for Progressive JPEG and Multi-scan JPEG files

• Pixel count: 3,264 × 2,448 pixels, 2,448 × 3,264 pixels or lower

• File size: 5 MB or less

(Viewable file size varies depending on the free space on your
RM-NX7000)

Transferring JPEG VIEWER to the RM-NX7000

You need to download the latest kernel for the RM-NX7000 to your
computer to use JPEG VIEWER.
Consult the NAVITUS Web site (http://www.sony.com/nxremotesupport)
about how to download the kernel.

After downloading the latest kernel to your computer, use “NAVITUS
Design” to transfer it to the Remote Commander by connecting the Remote
Commander to the computer with the USB cable.

Before connecting the Remote Commander to the computer with the USB
cable, set the Remote Commander to the recovery mode.

Step 1: Set the Remote Commander to the RECOVERY
mode

Press the [SET] key for 2 seconds or longer in

1

the Home display.

The Set display appears.

Press the [SYSTEM] key.

2

The System display appears.

Transferring JPEG VIEWER to the RM-NX7000

Press the [RECOVERY] key for 2 seconds or

3

longer.

The confirmation display for the transition to the recovery mode
appears.

Press the [YES] key.

4

After restarting, the Remote Commander enters the recovery mode.

Step 2: Connect

Connect your Remote Commander to your

1

computer with the USB cable.

Notes

• Before connecting the Remote Commander to your computer, be sure to
connect the supplied AC power adaptor to the Remote Commander.

• Do not disconnect the USB cable from your computer, until kernel transfer
and Remote Commander update are complete, as a malfunction may occur.

• Do not connect several Remote Commanders to your computer at the same
time, as you will not be able to transfer the kernel to the Remote
Commander. Connect only the RM-NX7000.

Step 3: Transfer the kernel from NAVITUS Design

Close any currently open project files on

1

NAVITUS Design.

Click “Tools” of the menu bar, then select

2

“Update Kernel for NX7000.”

The “Update Kernel for NX7000” dialog box appears.

Click of “Look in,” then select the folder that

3

contains the kernel.

Select the kernel file, and click “Select.”

4

Transfer of the kernel to the Remote Commander starts. When
transfer is complete, a message dialog box appears.

Note

After you click “Select,” an error message will appear if:

•You select a file other than the kernel file for the RM-NX7000.

• The data capacity of the kernel is larger than the memory capacity of the
Remote Commander.

• The version of the kernel you are transferring is the same as, or older than
that of the Remote Commander.

• An error occurs while you are transferring the kernel (e.g., if you disconnect
the USB cable).

If you click “Back to file selection,” the display returns to the “Update Kernel
for NX7000” dialog box, and you can select the kernel file again. If you click
“Cancel update,” the updating is canceled.

Click “OK.”

5

The Remote Commander starts to update the kernel. Wait until the
updating is complete.

To finish the setting, follow the on-screen

6

instructions in the recovery mode.

When the recovery mode finishes, the Remote Commander is
restarted. If the Remote Commander is restarted, the system clock is
reset. After restarting, set the system clock again.
