Downloading images and animations

Before starting the following procedure, prepare a CD-R including still images (pictures) and animations (movies).

The supplied Image Converter CD-ROM includes sample images and animations, so you can use this disc for your first trial.

IMPORTANT:

Still images (pictures) should have <jml>, and animations (movies) should have <jma> as their extension code in their file names.

Downloading a file can be done only while selecting “CD” as the source; on the other hand, deleting a file can be done while selecting any source.

Before you download or erase the files, observe the following:

Do not download a file while driving.

Do not turn off the ignition key of the car while downloading or erasing a file.*

Do not detach the control panel while downloading or erasing a file.*

*If you do it, the file download and erasure will not be done correctly. In this case, perform the same procedure again.

If you have already downloaded an animation for “Opening,” “Ending,” or “Movie,” downloading a new animation deletes the previously stored animation.

It takes a long time for the unit to download an animation.

– About 6 to 7 seconds for a still image (one frame).

– About 3 to 4 minutes for an animation of 30 frames.

– About 10 minutes for an animation of 90 frames.

While a station or service is being tuned in by one of the Standby Reception modes such as TA or PTY, you cannot download or delete a file. On the other hand, while you are downloading or deleting a file, Standby Reception mode will not work to have this unit tune in a station or service. It only works after download or deletion is over.

1 Open the control panel.

2 Insert a CD-R with the files (images and animations you made with Image Converter) into the loading slot.

The unit draws the disc, the control panel goes back to the previous position (see page 61).

If the disc includes playable audio files such as MP3 tracks, playback starts automatically.

3 Press M (MODE) after the disc is detected.

“Mode” appears on the display.

The next-step-operation buttons start flashing.

4 Press number button 6 to show the download selection screen.

5 Select (highlight) one of the listed items for which you want to download a file.
