If the screen goes dark because the backlight is turned off, press any button on the P-2000 to resume operation. If the P-2000 has been powered off, you need to turn it back on with the power switch.

Viewing Files on a TV

You can connect the P-2000 to a TV or AV projector and view your images, videos, and slide shows. Youll need a camcorder-to-TV/VCR audio/video cable (A/V cable with 3.5 mm mini-plug to 3 RCA phono plugs). You can purchase the cable at an electronics store. 1. Connect the three RCA plugs to the video and audio IN jacks on your TV. 2. Connect the mini-plug on the other end to the A/V Out connector on the side of the P-2000. The LCD screen turns off.
To start playing an audio or video file, just select it and press the OK button. Note the following when playing video and audio: All videos are played with the LCD resolution (pixels). While the P-2000 is playing audio, it turns off the LCD to conserve battery power. The LCD comes back on when you press any button. You can select audio files to use as slide show background music using the pop-up menu. You can listen to audio using headphones. Simply insert the headphone cable into the headphone connector on the side of the P-2000. The following table describes how the buttons work while playing audio and video files:
Button Audio function Video function
OK Cancel Up Down Left Right
Pause (press OK again to restart). Stop the audio or video and return to the previous screen. Raise the volume. Lower the volume. Play the previous audio file. Press and hold to rewind. Play the next audio file. Press and hold to fast forward. Rewind. Fast forward.
3. Set the TV display to video input from the P-2000.
Note: Some TVs may crop your images on the top and bottom.
You can now use all of the P-2000 controls to play slide shows, photos, and videos on your TV.

3. Select the EPSON_PV drive on your computer. In Windows, you may have to use My Computer to select the drive. From your computer, youll see an Albums folder and a Cards folder (corresponding to Saved Data on the Home screen). Do not change the names of these folders or any of their subfolders. To locate files in the Cards folder, youll need to open a series of subfolders. 4. Copy files to the PC_DATA folder (within the Albums folder) only. If you copy files to any other folder, the P-2000 will not recognize the files.
Copying Files to and From Your Computer
You can connect the P-2000 to your computer using the USB cable that came in the box. Your computer recognizes the P-2000 as an external hard disk drive, and you can easily copy files back and forth.
Note: You cannot copy files from a memory card in the P-2000 directly to your computer; you must first copy them to the P-2000 and then to the computer.
You should use the AC adapter when you connect the P-2000 to your computer.
Note: If your computer uses Windows 98SE, you need to install driver software before you connect the P-2000. See the P-2000 Basics guide for instructions.
