4. Using the file Browser
The ARCHOS File Browser gives you the possibility to navigate the file
system of your ARCHOS’ hard drive. In the Home screen, select the
“Files” icon to enter the File Browser.
You will see two panels:
• the one on the left is the panel that
you usually use to navigate through
your device’s hard drive,
• the panel on the right is the one you
will use when you want to copy or
move files and folders (see: Copying
and Moving Files and Folders).
About your ARCHOS’ hard drive:
ARCHOS recommends that you keep the original folders: Music, Pictures, Video,
Playlists, etc. The icons on the Home screen (“Video, “Music”, “Photo”...) lead
directly to some of these folders and they may no longer work correctly if the folders
are deleted or renamed.

have to enter some information to set up your access to this network.
5.2	WiFi Network Configuration
In order to connect to a wireless network, the ARCHOS will need some specific information about the network. Your device will automatically pick up certain pieces of
information that it needs. You can enter the rest of the information manually in the
network’s configuration screen, as shown in the following sections.
Note that your device will remember the network connection information that you enter, in order to re-use it and connect automatically to the network when it is in range.
605 WIFI

scan for available networks and connect to a known network or display the list of
available networks so that you can connect to one of them.
• Please note: not all wireless networks offer access to the Internet. Some WiFi networks only link several computers together, without any Internet connection.
If the time & date are not correctly set, you might not be able to access certain web
pages (See Clock settings). If you choose to set the clock automatically when the
ARCHO connects to a wifi network, you will need to select your Region and City/

6.2 Playing your PC’s Shared Media Files
• Your ARCHOS gives you the possibility to play, directly on your device, shared
media files (videos, music, photos) stored on a PC.
• This is especially useful when you have a large library of music and video and you
cannot fit it all onto the internal hard drive of the ARCHOS.
• For this to work, you will only need a WiFi connexion and Windows Media® Player
11 or higher installed on your PC*.
* Your ARCHOS uses the UPnP protocol (Universal Plug and Play) to stream media.
If you cannot install Windows Media® Player 11 or higher, there is another way for
you to stream files stored on your desktop PC. See Browsing Other Computers on
the Network.

videos of your PC.
• In the same way, the Music and
Photo modes will allow you to
see all the music/photos stored
in your folder My Music/My
Pictures.
Note: You may have some video files of very high quality and these require that the
WiFi connection transfers data at a high speed. If your ARCHOS is far away from
your WiFi box, it may happen that the connection speed is reduced thus not allowing
some video files to stream from your PC to the ARCHOS and the television.
6.3	the archos content portal
With ARCHOS’ video and music partners, you can purchase or rent audio
and video content directly on your ARCHOS without using your computer. Or, if your ARCHOS is connected to the optional DVR Station you
can select your internet video content directly from your television.

8.11 Updating the Firmware
The firmware is the operating system (OS) of your ARCHOS. It is periodically updated
to bring new features, improvements and bug fixes. There are two main ways to update your product’s firware:
• directly on your ARCHOS if it as connected to a Wifi network
• with a computer connected to the internet
update directly on the archos (wifi connection needed)
This is the easiest way to update the firmware. For this to work, you only need to connect your ARCHOS to a Wifi network. See Connecting to a Wifi Network.
1. Once your ARCHOS is connected to a Wifi network, go to the Home screen,
select the “Settings”
menu item, and choose “System”.
2. Use the “Search for online updates” button.
3. The ARCHOS will search on-line for a new firmware. If there is one available, it
will start downloading, and it will be installed automatically.
update using a computer (internet connection needed)
If you cannot connect your ARCHOS to a Wifi network, you can also update the firmware using a computer connected to the internet:
1. On your PC, go to www.archos.com/firmware.
2. Search for the firmwares available for your ARCHOS.
3. Compare the lastest on-line version with the one installed on your ARCHOS: your
ARCHOS’ firwmare version number appears in the “Firmware and Plugings” settings screen (see Firmware and Plugings Settings).
4. If the on-line version is more recent than yours, follow the instructions to download and install it.
Your Internet browser may warn you that the contents of the firmware file may harm

LCD pixel policy
The LCD screen on your ARCHOS unit has been manufactured to rigorous standards
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 defective dots). This means that during
the period of guarantee for your country or jurisdiction, 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.
