PHOTOS: How do you enjoy the photos you shoot on vacations and family events? Bring your photos off your computer or camera and into your life with ENCORE. Now you can enjoy all your photos at anytime with a click of the remote control.

Are your photos still in your camera or locked up on a website or your computer? Getting your digital photos from your camera onto ENCORE is easy ... connect your camera or flash card reader, select IMPORT, and Encore does the rest. It even asks you if you want to make a backup DVD copy of your photos!

Easily create beautiful slideshows with music and narration in minutes using the SmartSlide™ software. Create a slideshow DVD using the built in burner to share your photo slide show with music AND narration with your friends and family.

HOME-MOVIES: Watching home movies on your HDTV today requires connecting your camcorder to the TV and playing the movie. We change all of that with direct import of home video files to the hard disk from most digital camcorders. Connect the camcorder or card reader, press COPY on the remote control and ENCORE does the rest. Now you can easily create a home video library just like your photo library. ENCORE also supports direct import of movie clips from most still cameras.

MUSIC: Tired of trying to locate your favorite CD? One click will copy any CD in high fidelity with album art to the hard drive using our Digital Music Extraction software. The CD music will be placed in the digital library, with album art, if available, under the proper genre to easily organize your music. The album art will be displayed when playing your favorite selections. Access your music by Album, Artist, Track or Genre using the search capability.

Design custom playlists including any track from any album using simple COPY and PASTE commands to create collections for a special mood or occasion.

Now it is easier than ever to get CD music loaded onto ENCORE. You can send your CD collection to Ready to Play in Palo Alto, CA and they will rip them onto a USB hard disk drive. Then all your have to do is plug in the Hard Disk Drive and run the Import CD Music command on ENCORE. All of your music will be loaded by Genre with album art, if available, to the Music directory.
