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.

Setting the stand

1 Hold the photo frame tightly and insert the stand straight into the screw hole on the rear panel.

Setting to portrait or landscape orientation

You can set the photo frame to portrait or landscape orientation by rotating it without moving the stand.

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

DPF-D72N only: The directions indicated on the direction button on the rear panel depend on the orientation of the photo frame.

Notes

• Check whether the stand is stable. If the stand is not 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.

Tip

It is easier to turn the stand if you wind or wrap a rubber band tightly around the stand when you remove the stand from 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.

Holes for hanging the unit on the wall

2 Screw the screws (not supplied) into the wall.

Be sure the screws (not supplied) protrude between 2.5 to 3mm ( 18 inch) from the surface of the wall.

3 Hang the photo frame on the wall by fitting the one hole on the rear panel to the screws on the wall.

Notes

- Use screws suitable for the quality of the material of the wall. The screws may be damaged, depending on the type of material used in the wall. Set the screws in a pillar or stud in the wall.

- When you want to re-insert the memory card, remove the photo frame from the wall, then eject and re-insert the memory card while the photo frame is placed on a stable surface.

- Remove the stand and store it in the storage portion provided on the rear when you hang the photo frame on the wall.

Since a magnet is contained in the storage portion, you can keep the stand attached to the portion.

- Connect the DC cable of the AC adaptor to the photo frame and hang the photo frame on the wall. Then connect the AC adaptor to the wall outlet.

• We take no responsibility for any accidents or damage caused by defects of attachment, misuse, or natural disasters, etc.
