button order
(more information on these colors is available in the operating
instructions for the original program, DVD Menu Maker).
Custom menu name (folder name) may include dashes or underscores between
characters but spaces in the name cause the PRV-LX1 import function to fail.

Menu Maker Helper Installation
Before installing MMH, verify that Photoshop is installed and functioning properly. If the
Photoshop program is missing or corrupted, stop now and remove then re-install the
program before continuing with the MMH installation process.
Install the MMH application:
1. Copy the MMH program installer to your computer desktop.
2. Double-click on the installer to begin the installation process.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
The installer creates a folder called Pioneer Electronics under Programs. The
DVD Menu Maker Helper program is installed under this folder.
2.2
DVD Menu Maker Installation
Simply copy the
LX1-Menu.exe
file on to your desktop. The application is self-contained
and operates by clicking on the program icon. The application is added to the Pioneer
Electronics folder created in the previous step.
Note: Although the application requires that the Quick Time 6 player be installed on the
PC, the player does not have to be running to use DVD Menu Maker.

When the MMH program is launched, it also opens Photoshop. If Photoshop is already running,
the MMH program window opens on top of the Photoshop window. Any image files already
open in Photoshop can trigger the MMH program to try to use the files as Menu Backgrounds or
a Button template. To avoid accidentally selecting files not built by MMH, close all images
unless a file is your background or button template before launching the MMH application.
