After you’ve installed the software, hooked up
the hardware, and turned on your PC, the
ShowTime mini application shown to the right
appears on your desktop. The default state is to
always start this mini application when you turn
on your PC. But you can change this by clicking
on the Preferences button. If you choose not to
have it start automatically you can start it by
double-clicking on the desktop shortcut,
or run it from the Windows Start button.

If a DBS Receiver or other A/V
component is connected to your TV using
Audio/Video cables, you can connect the
Video Receiver to the free LINE IN jacks
on the component. If there are no LINE IN
jacks, you will need to use a TV antenna
splitter as described above.

You can use the supplied
coaxial cable to connect the
TV OUT socket on the Video
Receiver to the Antenna input
on your TV. If you already
have an antenna connected to
your TV, you will need to use a
TV antenna splitter.
Set your TV and the TV
Channel switch on the Video
Receiver (on bottom) to the
same channel (3 or 4).
It is recommended that you first click on the Demo button to familiarize
yourself with the features and operation of the software and the remote.
You will then be ready to use the remote to view your favorite photos on
your TV. You will hear a camera shutter click when you press any button,
on the ShowTime mini app, but you can turn the sound off in Preferences if
you want to. Preferences is also where you can adjust the color, brightness,
contrast, sharpness, and the size and position on your TV screen.
Click on the Picture Wizard button to copy photos from other folders on
your PC's hard drive into the ShowTime folders. Click help for more info.
Click on the Caption Editor button to add captions to photos and group
photos into “collections.” You will then be able to use the remote to search
for collections by name. In the Caption Editor you can also rotate photos
that you took with your camera sideways. Click on help for more info.
After you have familiarized yourself with the Demo, click on the ShowTime
button in the ShowTime mini application shown above. A Tray Icon appears
in the Windows Task Bar at the bottom right hand corner of your computer
monitor’s screen. To show or hide the main ShowTime application screen
press the Start button on the remote control.
If you don’t see the icon in the Task Bar, run ShowTime either from the
ShowTime mini application, the shortcut on your desktop, or from the
Windows Start button. A screen like the one shown on the next page
appears on your PC’s monitor. The Broadcasting button in the ShowTime
mini application shown above is green if ShowTime is transmitting to your
TV. Click the button to turn off transmission. The button turns red.
