SMART LOADER

software of SEES designed DH500 model intended to easily replicate the user
settings of one TV into another. These settings include (but not restricted
to): picture and audio, tuning set-up, language and country selection, PIN,
child locked programs. Factory adjustments are not copied as they are different
for every TV.
The Smartloader makes possible the user data to be stored in
a memory device connected to the USB terminal of the TV that is used as
reference and later load those data into other TVs by using their respective
USB terminal.
