SETTING THE SCREEN SAVER PREFERENCES 

Screen Savers are provided for each source mode. Screen Savers provide two 
important functions, to prevent a static image from being displayed on the video 
output device for extended periods of time and to provide useful information to 
the user when activated.

Follow these steps to set your screen saver preferences:

1.  Select the SETUP button to display the Setup menu.
2.  Select the Screen Saver Menu item.
3.  Select your Screen Saver Preferences

Activation Idle Time

You can specify the amount of idle time that FireBall will wait before activating 
the screen saver from 1 to 60 minutes.

Warning: Some televisions and plasma monitors are more susceptible to screen 
burn-in than others, therefore, we recommend using a low activation time (like 1 
minute) to reduce the risk of burn-in.

Mode

Select either the Normal mode or Product Demonstration mode. The Normal 
mode displays the current title or station information while the Product 
Demonstration mode is intended for retail product demos during idle time.

Retail Demo Mode

FireBall has a Retail Demo Mode for use in retail display environments. The 
Retail Demo Mode (RDM) is a special screen saver that is activated during idle 
time. The RDM continuously displays key features and benefits of the FireBall 
product on the attached TV. Pressing any button on the remote will temporarily 
disable the RDM and allow the user to demo the product. After the specified 
idle time, the RDM will reactivate as the screensaver.

Follow these steps to enable the Retail Demo Mode in your FireBall 
display model:
1.  Follow the Quick Start instructions to connect and register your demo 

FireBall.

2.  When your FireBall is configured and you see the Music Guide, press 

the SETUP key on the remote.

3.  Select the General menu.
4.  Select the Screen Saver menu.
5.  Select the Demo Mode option and the number of minutes to wait before 

displaying the Demo Mode screen saver.

6.  Select the Save button.

•  The RDM will be activated whenever the FireBall is idle for the specified 

period of time.

•  Do not set the idle time too high as the possibility of screen burn is 

increased with certain types of displays, particularly “Plasma” type 
displays.

Photo Screen Saver Mode

FireBall has a Photo Screen Saver Mode for displaying your own photos 
whenever FireBall is idle for a specified period of time. You can import your 
own photos into the Photos shared directory using Windows Networking. 
Photos should be 720x480 for 4:3 NTSC TVs and 640x360 for 16:9 widescreen 
TVs.

Follow these steps to enable the Photo Screen Saver Mode in your 
FireBall:
1.  Press the SETUP key on the remote.
2.  Select the General menu.
3.  Select the Screen Saver menu.
4.  Select the Photo Viewer option and the number of minutes to wait 

before displaying the next photo.

5.  Select Random or Alphabetical ordering.
6.  Select the Save button.

Note: You can set the Photo Interval or how long each photo is displayed as 
well as the Photo Order or how you want to display your photos, in random or 
alphabetical order.

•  The Photos Screen Saver will be activated whenever the FireBall is idle 

for the specified period of time.

•  Do not set the idle time too high as the possibility of screen burn is 

increased with certain types of displays, particularly “Plasma” type 
displays.
