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.

Preparing the remote control

The supplied lithium battery (CR2025) has already been inserted into the remote control. Pull out the protective sheet before use as shown in the figure.

Protective sheet

Using the remote control

Point the top end of the remote control towards the remote sensor on the photo frame.

SONY Remote sensor

Note

The photo frame may fall if you use the buttons on the photo frame when it is hanging on the wall. Operate the photo frame using the remote control.

Replacing the battery of the remote control

If the remote control stops working, replace the battery (CR2025 lithium battery) with a new one.

1 Press the tab in.

3 Insert a new battery and slide the battery holder back into the remote control.

Insert the battery so that “+” is facing upwards.

Notes

• Using a battery other than the specified one may result in the battery rupturing. - Dispose of used batteries as specified by the local authorities. - Do not leave the remote control in a very hot and humid place. • Take care that no foreign objects get inside the remote control when you, for example, replace the battery.

- Incorrect use of the battery may cause leaking and corrosion.

  • Do not recharge the battery.
  • 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.

Notes

  • Check whether the stand is stable. If the stand is not set properly, the photo frame may fall over.
  • The Sony logo does not light up when the photo frame is placed vertically or turned off (DPF-D75/D85/D95 only).
  • You can also rotate the image manually (page 32).
  • A magnet is contained in the space for storing 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 exchange a panel (DPF-E75 only)

You can exchange the original panel with an exchangeable panel supplied.

1 Insert a long, thin object such as a pin into the hole next to the space for storing stand on the rear of the photo frame and lift up the front panel.

*1 The photo frame supports FAT32. The photo frame has been demonstrated as operable with a “Memory Stick” with a capacity of 32 GB or less manufactured by Sony Corporation. However, we do not guarantee the operations of all the “Memory Stick” media. *2 The photo frame is equipped with a slot compatible with both standard-size and Duo-size media. Without a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor, you can use both a standard-size “Memory Stick” and the compact-size “Memory Stick Duo”. *3 When using a “Memory Stick Micro” with the photo frame, always insert it into an M2 adaptor. *4 “M2” is an abbreviation for “Memory Stick Micro”. In this section, “M2” is used to describe a “Memory Stick Micro”. *5 Data reading/recording that requires “MagicGate” copyright protection cannot be performed. “MagicGate” is the general name of a copyright

protection technology developed by Sony using authentication and encryption.

*6 The photo frame does not support 8 bit parallel data transfer.

Notes on use

- For the latest information on the “Memory Stick” types that the photo frame supports, see the “Memory Stick” compatibility information on the Sony web site: http://www.memorystick.com/en/support/support.html (Select the area where you use your photo frame, and then select “Digital Photo Frame” from each area page.)

  • Do not insert more than one “Memory Stick” at the same time, or this may cause trouble with the photo frame.
  • If you use a “Memory Stick Micro” with the photo frame, the “Memory Stick Micro” needs to be inserted into an “M2” adaptor.
  • If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into the photo frame without an “M2” adaptor, you may be unable to remove the “Memory Stick Micro”.
  • If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into an “M2” adaptor, and insert the “M2” adaptor into a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor, the photo frame may not operate properly.
  • When you initialize a “Memory Stick”, use the initialization function of your digital camera. If you initialize it with your computer, images may not be displayed properly.
  • When you perform initialization, all the protected images are erased. To avoid erasing important data by accident, make sure to check the contents of the “Memory Stick” before initialization.
  • You cannot record, edit, or delete data if you slide the write-protect switch to LOCK.
  • Do not attach any other material than the supplied label on the labelling position. When you attach the supplied label, be sure to attach it to the labelling position. Be careful that the label does not stick out.

Notes on using a memory card

  • When using a card, make sure to check the correct insertion direction of the card and the correct insertion slot.
  • 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.

  • We recommend that you save a backup of important data.
  • Data processed with the computer may not be displayed with the photo frame.
  • When you carry or store a card, put it in the case supplied with it.
  • Do not touch the terminal of a card with your hand or a metal object.
  • Do not strike, bend or drop a card.
  • Do not disassemble or modify a card.
