Create The Import Folder/Files
Follow the steps below to create your import folder/file.
1. Create a new folder to receive the custom menu files.
The folder name becomes the menu name when imported in to the PRV-LX1.
This name cannot have spaces and should have fewer than 12 characters.
2. Launch the Pioneer PRV-LX1 DVD Menu Maker program.
3. Locate your custom Photoshop file on the hard drive.
4. Click on the
Open
button to select your .psd file.
A new window entitled Browse for Folder replaces the existing folder/file window.
5. Locate and select the new folder you created to hold the import files.
PRV-LX1 DVD Menu Maker window replaces the Browse for Folder window.
6. Click on the drop-down menu to check each layer of your menu layout.
Clicking on the OK button saves the file but also closes the application. Once the
application is closed, no further modifications are allowed. Return to your
Photoshop file to make corrections on any views listed as Preview-Only layers
.
