6. CD-ROM Operation
The DF-1710 can play media files stored on CD-ROM. Most photo-processing operators offer pictures on CD-
ROM at a reasonable added cost as an option when you drop off film for developing and/or printing. If you
have a computer with a CD-R or CD-R/W writer attached you can “burn” your own CDs with any digital picture,
MPEG1, MPEG-4, Flash®-2, and MP3 files that you have on your computer.
Loading Files from CD-ROM
Press the Eject button on the CD-ROM to open the disc tray, snap a CD-ROM disc containing recognized media
files securely into the tray’s spindle, and gently push the tray closed. There may be a delay of a few seconds
before the newly-inserted CD is recognized, depending on what the DF-1710 is doing at the time, after which a
menu will appear offering you the choices of:
Create slideshow with automatic name
Create new slideshow and name it
Eject the disc
Note: CD insertion may not be recognized during movie playback or while certain menus are displayed. If your
CD is not recognized, stop any movie in progress and go to the main menu.
If you select “Create slideshow with automatic name” a new directory is created for its contents on the DF-
1710’s internal hard drive, named with a date code in the format “removable-YYYYMMDD-HH.MM.SS“, so if you
insert a CD-ROM at exactly 10:15AM on Jan 10, 2003, for example, the directory will be named “removable-
20030110-10.15.00”. the DF-1710’s internal clock is set at the factory and periodically via its network
connection when connected to the internet. It has a 10-year battery.
To make it easier to identify and select CD slideshows you can choose “Create new slideshow and name it”. A
menu will appear allowing you to use the remote control keys to enter a name for the new directory on an on-
screen “typewriter” style keyboard.
Immediately below the keyboard is the text-entry line. Move the highlight with the arrow keys and press the
“D” button on the remote control the enter the highlighted character.
The four special "keys" on the keyboard are:
"del" deletes the character at the end of the input line.
"enter" accepts your current input.
"spc" inserts a space.
"A/a" toggles the case of the last character on the input line.
To cancel the edit operation at any time, press the Pause button.
At this time it is only possible to name the directory; the automatically-generated script file will be named
“script.txt”.
After selecting a naming option and naming the directory if desired, a message will appear on-screen while files
are copied to the DF-1710’s hard drive. When file copying is complete the tray will automatically open and the
disc may be removed. The slideshow from the CD will automatically begin running
Regardless of whether directories are named automatically or with the menu, you can name later rename them
and/or any script files to more descriptive names using a PC and ethernet connection.
