704MANUAL V0.0OPTIONAL FUNCTIONALITIES > p. 59COPY PROTECTIONThe ARCHOS™’s recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision copy-right protection system.If the source of your video is copy-protected, the device will record in protected mode.You will see a ‘P’ icon on the recording screen (not during playback), indicating that the le will be a protected le.Protected les can only be played back on the ARCHOS™ device that created them, and not on a computer.The playback of protected les is also limited to the built-in LCD screen and can-not be displayed on an external television.10.3 seTTing The sChedulerMAIN STEPSFrom the Home screen, tap on the Scheduler icon and tap on it again.Select the line you want to edit, then tap on it to start editing.Set each line to the desired date, time (and channel if you are using the infrared emitter to control a VCR, cable box or satellite receiver).Select the Edit program title menu item to dene a title for your sched-uled recording, (see Using the Virtual Keyboard).Select the ‘validate selected program’ menu item to save the changes for this program, then select the save all programs menu item to save all your scheduled recordings.Do not turn off the ARCHOS™ device! Make sure the ARCHOS™ is in stand-by mode at the scheduled time for the recording (connected to the DVR station or to the DVR Travel Adapter and a wall outlet).NOTES ABOUT THE SCHEDULERThe scheduler automatically reorganizes the recording events chronologically,In order for a scheduled recording to start, you must leave the ARCHOS™ device on the main menu screen or leave it in stand-by mode. If you are listening to mu-sic, watching a video or looking at photos with the device, it will not interrupt you to make the scheduled recording.If you use the IR emitter to change channels on a VCR, satellite or cable box (see The Infrared Emitter), note that this external device must be left ON, and not in sleep mode.When the Archos™ user interface is set to English, the date format is set to Month/Day.•••••1.2.3.4.5.6.••••

704MANUAL V0.0OPTIONAL FUNCTIONALITIES > p. 60If the end time is earlier than the start time, it is assumed that you start recording on the start date, and the recording ends on the following day at the end time.Once scheduled recording has been made, or the date of a recording has been passed, without the recording having been made (the ARCHOS™ was not con-nected to the DVR Station or was not in standby mode), the schedule entry will be erased from the scheduler.Long recordings (2 hours and more) can create les that are larger than 2Gb each. The ARCHOS™ will create multiple les in order to make long record-ings. Thus a long scheduled recording may produce video les called VID0000, VID0001, VID0002 etc. This is only the case of recordings that are over 2Gb in size. This 2Gb le size constraint is due to the Windows® FAT32 AVI le type specica-tion.When you set the scheduler, the ARCHOS™ device will create a text le in the System folder (DVRTimer.txt), you should not erase this le.AUTOMATED YAHOO!® TV RECORDING SCHEDULERIf you have a My Yahoo!® account and use the calendar feature to schedule TV pro-grams, you can use your ARCHOS™ device to read the TV programs scheduled into your personal calendar and transfer these to its own Scheduler. If you do not have an account, you can create one and learn how to use the My Yahoo!® TV and calendar functions at the Yahoo!® Website (www.yahoo.com). Please note: Using the scheduler is particularly useful when you have the optional DVR Station and you have set up the Infrared emitter to control your tuner device.You must do the following:Connect your ARCHOS™ device to your computer.Go to your personal Yahoo!® calendar which has your TV programs scheduled.Choose the Week view – starting with the current day as the beginning of the week.Click on Printable View to show a cleaner printable version.From your browser menu click on File > Save As… to save the le.Do not change the File Name, but do change the Save as Type to ‘Web page, HTML only’. Now save the le to the ‘System’ folder on your ARCHOS™ device.When you disconnect your ARCHOS™ from your computer, the ARCHOS™ device will automatically update its scheduler with the newly saved TV programs from your My Yahoo!® calendar. If the ARCHOS™ encounters a television station name that it does not know the channel number for (was never set), it will indicate so, and direct you to go to the scheduler to manually assign a channel to the station name.••••1.2.3.4.5.6.7.

704MANUAL V0.0OPTIONAL FUNCTIONALITIES > p. 61Notes:If the TV programs from your personal calendar do not seem to be correctly cop-ied to the ARCHOS™ scheduler, go to www.archos.com/rmware to make sure that you have the latest rmware version (see Updating the Firmware).If you change your Yahoo!® personal calendar by deleting some TV programs and adding new ones, only the new programs will be added to the ARCHOS™ sched-uler when you save the html le to the ARCHOS™ device. If you want to delete scheduled items, you must do this in the ARCHOS™ scheduler itself. Missed recordings (because you did not have the ARCHOS™ connected to the DVR Station at the record time) will be deleted from the scheduler.If a personal calendar recording event does not nd the station name in your list of channels, it will put the event into the scheduler and mark it with a ?, indicat-ing that you must assign a channel number to the name. Move the cursor to the line containing the ? and select the “Set Channel” menu item. You can now scroll through the channel numbers and assign a number to the station name for that event. You only have to do this once. Your ARCHOS™ device will keep the station name and its channel number.THE INFRARED EMITTERThe DVR Station has a high-powered infrared LED at the front. It allows your ARCHOS™ device to commu-nicate with your tuner (VCR, cable or satellite box), so that it can turn it on and off, and change channels on it.This is a one time step to set your ARCHOS™ device to send the correct infrared codes to control your tuner. If you do not plan on making scheduled recordings, then you do not need to set the infrared emitter code. Before beginning this procedure of setting the emitter code, your device must be connected to the DVR Station, which must be powered with the charger/adapter.The infrared control works through the reection of the infrared signal within a room. In order to improve the reception of this infrared signal on your tuner (VCR, cable or satel-lite box), you could rearrange the position of the DVR Station and/or the tuner such that there are more reective surfaces (furniture, a wall, etc. - see diagram). Good communi-cation between the DVR Station and your tuner also depends on the sen-sitivity of your tuner’s IR receiver.••••••••

704MANUAL V0.0OPTIONAL FUNCTIONALITIES > p. 63Test ON/OFF: When you click on the Test On/Off button, the ARCHOS™ device will send a signal to the infrared emitter and turn your device on or off. Press this test button again and your device should change from on to off or off to on. If pressing this button does not turn your device on or off, try the next code for your device (step 2 above). If none of the codes work, check that the DVR Station is positioned in a way that allows the IR signal to reach your tuner de-vice’s receiver. Note: In some rare cases the ON/OFF functionality may not work.Tune channel select: These four parameters usually do not need to be set. Keep the default values to start with.Key: -/--Set this to On if normally, you have to press this same key on your device’s re-mote control in order to select a channel.Number of digitsSet the number of digits that your device can recognize for a channel. Example: Set to 3 if you need to choose a channel greater than channel 99.Key: EnterSet this to On if normally, you have to press the Ok button on your device’s re-mote control after you enter the channel number. Example: If you normally press 1, 3, Ok for channel 13, then you would need to set this parameter to On.Key DelayChange the delay between the emission of each digit of a channel. You may need to adjust this if the ARCHOS™ device seems to send only half the digits of a channel or more digits of a channel. Example: Adjust the key delay and retest channel select if it sends channel 2 instead of 12 or sends 112 instead of 12.10.4 reCOrding audiO (exTernal sOurCe)Connect the AV cable to an audio source (hi-, turntable, boombox, etc.) and then the other end to the IN connector of the DVR Station or DVR Travel Adapter.In the Home Screen, tap on the AudioCorder icon and tap on it to display the pre-recording screen.Tap on the Settings menu item and tap on it to enter the AudioCorder settings screen (See AudioCorder Settings Screen).Select ‘Analog Line-In’ as the source.

704MANUAL V0.0TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS > p. 67LCD PIXEL POLICYThe LCD screen on your ARCHOS™ unit has been manufactured to rigorous stan-dards to provide a high quality viewing experience. Nevertheless, your LCD screen may have slight imperfections. This is not particular to the ARCHOS™ screen, but to all devices which have LCD screens regardless of the original manufacturer of the LCD. Each product vendor guarantees that his screen will contain no more than a certain number of defective pixels. Each screen pixel contains three dot elements (Red, Blue, and Green). One or all of the dots in a given pixel may be stuck on or stuck off. A single dot stuck off is the least noticeable. All three dots of a pixel stuck on is the most noticeable. ARCHOS™ guarantees that this device’s screen will have no more than 3 defective pixels (regardless if these pixels have one or more defec-tive dots). This means that during the period of guarantee for your country or juris-diction, if the screen on your product has four or more defective pixels, ARCHOS™ will repair or replace your product at its cost. Thus, three or less defective pixels is not grounds for replacement or repair of the product.
