garrettoomey Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have attached the 3 pdf pages from the owner's manual on how to burn and install backgrounds. Pages from AVICZ2OperationManual.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainInsaneO Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Garret if it wouldn't be too much trouble could you also post instructions on how to load backgrounds onto the hdd, and then access them from the unit? I tried doing it myself but the only way I can get them to load into memory is by going the CD route, but I'd like to just load them once onto my hdd and be forever done with it. Thanks.

GnatGoSplat Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 You can't just put them in the same folder as the other BMPs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 There are a lot of ways to put them directly on the hard drive, but I don't recommend anyone to do this unless they know how to reimage their hard drive (just in case). I have not done a lot of research but this is what I DO know, and how I do it: Hard drive MUST be unlocked. Image must be BMP format 500x240 pixels and 24 bit color. File size should be 351kb. Images can be saved on the LDATA (map partition): LDAT\BG\PREINSTALL By default, there are 15 preinstalled backgrounds. I have tried to put more than 20, but that does not work. If you want to add more than 5 custom backgrounds, then you need to remove some of the stock ones (so there are 20 or less in this directory). I have added a directory called 'stock' and I move the factory images rather than delete them. You can not select any images in the subdirectories, but you can store them for later use. This is what I know at this time. If you have time for more troubleshooting, please post your results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GOLDCYLON Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 If your system says Disk Unreadable, and you're using a CD-RW, your disc may be going bad. If you're using a CD-R, you definitely burned it wrong. i've tryed 3 or 4 cd-r there must be something i am doing wrong on the burn. ERik Did you follow my directions? If you dont have 100Meg of junk files on the CDRW when you burn it in one sesson it wont work. GC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WGFA Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks "ALL" for the info on how to do this. Works perfectly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claysr Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Can you manipulate imported background pic to fit screen similiar to strecthing to fit the screen on a PC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 The only way that I know to do it is on the PC. Either resize/stretch/shrink/crop/etc to make the image 500x240 pixels. I use windows Paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver08 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Please help. I'm using a CD-R (I've tried a few). I have loaded 2 of my own photos and one from this site into a directory called Pictures and I have added a data file greater than 100MB to the root. When I put the disc in the Z3 it recognizes the disc (Checking DISC msg) and it finishes with a message CD-ROM Inserted. However the button to load the images from disc is still not available. Is the problem a result of the disc being "CLOSED" and not "FINALIZED"? What else should I try? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is the problem a result of the disc being "CLOSED" and not "FINALIZED"? What else should I try? You have to finalize the disc, and be sure you do not use MP3 or audio files as "data filler" files... You cannot use a CD-R (-RW) containing MP3 files or Audio data (CD-DA part) for importing pictures. ❒ When storing pictures on a CD-R (-RW), create a folder named “Pictures†in the CD-R (-RW), and store the picture files in this folder. (Up to 200 picture files can be used in total, including pictures that are already stored in the hard disk drive and pictures in the CD-R (-RW).) ❒ When you burn a CD-R (-RW), limit the number of folder hierarchy levels to eight. ❒ You can only use a CD-R (-RW) finalised with single-session for importing pictures. ❒ You can only use a CD-R (-RW) finalised with “Mode1†for importing pictures. ❒ Only JPEG format (“.jpg†or “.JPGâ€) pictures can be used. Progressive format JPEG pictures cannot be used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver08 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thank you. Needed to finalize the disc and that did the trick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GOLDCYLON Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Did you save the JPG as the correct size 500X240 and what version JPG format are you saving in in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
