Just how does this work? What is the source of the slides? Can it be set on automatic?

I use this device with my laptop which has Powerpoint on it for generating my presentations. The whole idea is to use the device to advance the slides.

No the projector light is supposed to be constant night light when turned on it should display slides. When turned off nothing should be happening.

As I recall, the gadget has a slot at the top. you slip the slide in as far as it will go. Push down. It should catch and the viewing screen will light up and give you your image. otherwise, you will have to hold it down which means that something is wrong with the viewer mechanically. I hope this helps.

Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.

Absolutely! This is an awesome remote. The signal is so strong you can point the it in any direction and it'll advance slides. Only problem I've ever run into was when a presenter in a session next door had the same remote and, whenever he clicked, it advanced my slides! (That was about 5 years ago, though, and it hasn't happened since.)

The scanner does not have an automatic advance for slides or film, rather you put the content into the carriage, then insert it to the scanner and each advance is manual. Once you get your settings for scanning set, save them and reload the settings each session. You can simply advance the carriage to each image then click the 'scan' button. It's pretty quick. Your sessions can be for whatever film or negative you have. For thousands of slides, you're going to want to be patient. Scanning takes 30 seconds or so per frame, depending on the dpi you choose, but this is nowhere close to a 'thousand slides in an evening' proposition...

I just set up my MP800. I have scanned about 20 slides. They look great. These were all 30+ years old covered with dust and fungus. I was very pleasantly surprised by how good they looked. Counting the time it takes to mount the slides and all the clicks it took about 2 mins a slide. Good luckMalcolm

The slides are inserted from the top (the negatives are inserted from the side). The slides are scanned one at a time. I was happier with the scan quality for slides, which was great for me as my family had OODLES of slides. My tech-phobic family cruised through a carousel of slides in 30 minutes.

If your slides are high quality then yes, if not your basically just getting a picture of how the slide is, I have transferred my dads slides to my laptop, they were not high quality but you can go into a picture program an clean them up. Hope that helps.

I think it may depend on the source material. I have only used it for slides that were 40 years old. Predictably those slides that were sharp (in focus) prodused the best results and if a slide was over or underexposed you can try to adjust the exposure. A lot of my slides were starting to fade and they were the ones with with the lowest quality.

I just used mine again last month. Mine works good. Power cord, SD and just push the scan button. It doesn't really sound like much is happening. Have you put the SD in the computer you see if anything is on it? Is there a number to call? I looked for years for something to transfer my slides to pictures. This really did the job. Quickly, quietly , easy!!

I loaded all of my pictures on a memory card, insterted the memory card and the slide show is supposed to start automatically. I don't know that there is an option to set up shows of specific pictures, mine shows all 120 pictures, then starts over again.

There are basic instructions but nothing detailed. They provide dimensions and guidelines. However, there is quite a bit of information online about installing slides.

Yes it plays music while showing the slides. I downloaded all my photos from my computer so I can't answer the other questions. Great pictures and easy to operate. The only problem I had was they sent the wrong cord to plug between the computer and the frame. I happened to have one from another device that fit.

It is manually fed, but with great ease and simplicity. The package comes with single frame film holder. For slides with cartridge replace the single frame holder. They are fed on top of the unit one slide at a time. Loading film with minimum of three frames comes with another film holder. Load the film on the right side slot and then turn the knob counter clockwise to feed the film into the device. I hope this answer your question.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. I have a few slides but I haven't gotten around to them. I'm working on family photos - am very pleased with what it does with photos.

Yes, if you pause it I believe it resumes from there. I bought mine for my mother and create a slide show for each member of the immediate family. All their kids will be there also. It's very easy to show different slide shows for each of the families. It also has new feature that shows the latest pictures added when it first comes on. I have been very impressed.
