can view these clips, or click one of the Main Page buttons to access other functions. However, as
stated earlier the first step to viewing data in the software is to either copy a data CD-ROM, or to load
data through email attachment. Before using the Home Viewer (Pv300 or Cv300) it is advised to click
the “Help” button on the main page and review the help guide for complete instructions on the features in
the software and how to use them.

choices (swings, photos, instruction or drills, and introductions).
3. Depending on the amount and type of data on the CD you will see a succession of several progress
bars as the different files are loaded. When the copying process is complete the main screen view will
return.
Loading data from email

be loaded in the various menus.
Note 1: Microsoft Outlook Express allows opening the attachment, while Microsoft Outlook requires
saving to the hard drive first.
Note 2: Depending on your email service, either size or type of attachments may be blocked. If this is
the case please contact RightView Pro technical support for help.

eliminating punctuation.

This is caused by another program on your computer that is preventing our system from using the correct
video codec. To correct the problem we need to reset the merit of the conflicting codec. If you feel
comfortable you can follow the directions below or you can call our support line @ 310-377-9221.
