I've got a week-old Denon 1920 DVD player and I've been experimenting with it. But despite several attempts at figuring out just what's going on it has my baffled when it comes to how it handles a CD with images (JPG files). And yes, I did RTFM, for all the good that did. (Side comment: terrific player, mediocre-to-terrible manual).
Displaying the images does work, sorta, but what remains a mystery is the order in which they are shown. For example, to experiment with I loaded a CD written with files at the root, in three subdirectories and one of those had a subdirectory under it, i.e.:
root
----dir1
----dir2
------subdir2-1
----dir3
It seemed that no matter where I started or what I did I got a random order--well, an order with no discernible ordering anyway. Example: starting at the first image in dir1 the first few all came from there but then it started interspersing those with images from the root and dir1. I also tried a case where only dir1/2 were present with similar results.
I keep thinking I must have missed something somewhere but I don't know where or what. All I wanted was to select a directory and have it work through the images in some order I could control but that's not what happened. I dug around in all the setup options and found nothing relevant and the manual was very unenlightening!
Anyone with that player figured this out? Anyone else have any general ideas or thoughts on what it might be doing.
