Remote Control

  • Click on a slide
  • Press Play

Settings If needed, you can adjust the following on the TV:

  • Scroll down, click the three dots. This will bring up the Options menu.
    • Size: You can select Full if the original slides don't fill the TV screen.
    • Transition: If you don't like the "fade out" effect, you can change it here.
    • Speed: This determines how long slides are displayed.
