• To maintain portability, a slideshow stored
on a PM should ONLY reference content on
the same PM. Referencing global addresses
can result in inconsistencies if the PM is
used on a non-networked CE device. The
latter is however not forbidden, it is only a
recommendation.
• It is preferable that URL’s referencing PM
content are based on a relative path starting
from the directory where the slideshow is
stored. This path includes the device or drive
name of the PM.
An absolute path to content will also be
supported.
• relative path: pictures\test1.jpg, tamper.jpg,
..\new\bird.jpg, …
• absolute path: USB1:\pictures1\foo_bar.jpg,
C:\f1.jpg, \organization.jpg, …

Introduction
This document explains how to make a Philips
slideshow file with background audio.
Be aware that the content of this document is
addressing technical or software skilled users.
To start the slideshow open the slideshow file in
the Multimedia browser of your TV.
Press the key on the remote
control after having inserted a USB device
and switched on the TV.
Go to where you stored the slideshow file
(.alb) on your portable memory.
Select the slideshow file and press the OK
key to start the slide show.
To stop a slide show, press the ‡ key.
General Rules
• The slideshow will use plain ASCII XML
syntax to allow the creation and editing of the
slideshow files using simple tools.
• All references to network content must be
based on the global address of the content.
• Content on a Portable Memory (PM) doesn't
have a global address; as a result content
from a PM can never be referenced from a
slideshow not stored on the PM itself.
