8 Viewing Photos & Reading Memory Cards

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for basic information.

8.1 Viewing Photos

The Jukebox Multimedia is able to display pictures of type JPEG (progressive JPEG not supported) and BMP (4,8, and 24 bit depth) on its

built-in screen or on a television (Hold the ON button for 5 seconds to change between built-in screen and video out). To view a photo,

simply highlight it and click on Play. The Jukebox Multimedia will readjust the picture size to fit the screen. However, it can only resize

in certain steps. Thus your images may not always fill the entire LCD screen or television screen. To fill up the entire screen, pictures

should be in multiples of resolution 600x800 (PAL TV output), 600x384 (NTSC TV output), or 660x468 (Internal LCD). Use the Preview

mode [F1] while viewing pictures to show picture thumbnails and to go directly to the picture you want.

8.2 Transferring Photos from a Memory Card

Using one of the Memory Card Reader Add-ons from ARCHOS, you can read MMC*, Memory Stick

®

*,

SmartMedia™, and CompactFlash™ (CF) type 1 and 2 cards, as well as CompactFlash™ Microdrives. Before

connecting your Memory Card Reader to the Jukebox Multimedia, make sure the Jukebox is off. When connecting

the Memory Card Reader, make sure that it “clicks” into place with both the left and right side making a firm

connection. Once connected, turn on the Jukebox Multimedia. Now insert your memory card (face down for

Compact Flash and SmartMedia cards). The Jukebox will recognize that you have inserted a card. It will then

display the contents of the card.

With digital cameras, it is often the case that the camera stores its pictures in a subdirectory called DCIM (or even a

subdirectory within that). Once you locate the images in the Compact Flash card, click on [F3] Copy, in order to choose your copy option.

You can copy a single file or all of the files of a directory to the hard drive. Select a copy option and then click on

Play. You must now let the Jukebox know where you want to copy the image or images to. Once in the desired

folder, scroll down past all the existing subfolders and files and you will see the option <<copy here>>. Click [F3]

Copy, and your images will be copied to that folder. Once all the images are copied**, can you pull out the card from

the Memory Card Reader. The contents of the memory card will remain intact (will not be erased). You must shut off the Jukebox before

unplugging the card reader from the Jukebox.

ATTENTION: If you have file types other than .jpg and .bmp on your memory card, such as .raw or .tif, to be transferred to the Jukebox,

you must make sure that in the Setup : Settings menu, the option Show all Files is on. Scroll down toward the bottom of the list of

parameters to find it. If it is off, the Jukebox will filter the incoming files and copy only the playable types (.mp3, .m3u, .bmp, .jpg, and

.avi). It is not possible to transfer files in the other direction, that is, from the Jukebox multimedia to the memory card.
