slides to individual .JPG files (save as *.jpg) and store them in a folder.

USB device. Then connect the device to the projector and begin your 
presentation.

another source using the
 Source Search button or one of the specific 
source buttons on the remote control. To return to the Slideshow 
source, press 
Source Search and select USB, or simply press the 
USB button.

4608 × 3072, with pixel 
counts incrementing in 
multiples of 8.
If a .JPG file is highly 
compressed, your projector 
may not be able to display it 
correctly. The projector can’t 
display progressive or 
CMYK .JPG files.
You cannot project movie 
files using the Slideshow 
feature.
