 Notes
The thumbnail display and slide order are listed from the shortest file name to the 
longest. If two file names have the same number of characters, they are ordered 
numerically if numbers are used in the file name, and alphabetically otherwise.
It is possible to give presentations without using a computer by converting presentations 
created with Microsoft® PowerPoint® into JPEG files using the JPEG Conversion Tool, 
and storing them on a USB memory device. p.83
Note, however, that functions such as animation effects and hyperlinks cannot be used, 
so the converted file should be tested before the actual presentation.
Freeze function cannot be used during slide show or automatic play.
A slide show is terminated when the input is switched to another.
With some USB memory devices, the slideshow playback may stop midway. If you 
encounter this, use another USB memory device because the current one is not 
supported.
Pressing the GUIDE button on the remote control with a slide or video image displayed 
displays the slideshow operation guide.
When you operate the projector using the USB memory card reader/writer, up to 4 
media types are supported.

How to use the JPEG Conversion Tool
The JPEG Conversion Tool converts JPEG files not supported by the projector, image files 
in other formats, Microsoft® PowerPoint® files, and other similar files into JPEG files. The 
JPEG files converted with this tool can be displayed by sending them using the wireless 
LAN p.66, or saving them on a USB memory device.
Launching the JPEG Conversion Tool
The window shown in the figure to the right appears on the 
computer screen.
Drag the Image Quality Settings slider to the left or right to set 
the image quality of the file after conversion. Lower values create 
smaller files, but will lower the image quality. (It is not possible to 
restore the quality of an image after it has been lowered.)

This takes JPEG files created with compression formats not supported by the projector, for 
example, Windows® metafiles (wmf), and bitmapped files (bmp), and converts into JPEG 
files.

computer.
Only static images are supported by this process. Animation and audio are not 
supported.
Presentation files created with Microsoft® PowerPoint® usually 
consist of several slides. For this reason, the tool creates a
