2.6 Caring for the AV 700 TV

The ARCHOS” Video AV 700 TV is an electronic product that needs to be treated with more care than typical consumer electronic products. + Do not subject it to shock. + Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated by keeping it on its feet with the fold-out stand (especially when connected to a computer). Keep the AV 700 TV away from water and excessively humid areas. Keep the AV 700 TV away from high electromagnetic fields. Keep any connected cords to the AV 700 TV neatlÿ arranged. This light product could fall if a cord is accidentally pulled by a child. + Do not open up the AV 700 TV. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening will void your warranty.

Before you can use your AV 700 TV to watch Digital TV for the first time, you will need to tune it to receive the available programs in your area. You may also need to do this when you enter a different coverage area, for instance when you travel a long distance. Setting Up and Connecting the Antennas Your AV 700 TV comes with a set of two amplified antennas along with their cable and carrying case. Start by assembling these elements as shown in this picture. Then, connect the antennas to the antenna connector of your AV 700 TV. This port is next to the TV/LCD button on the top of the device, and is marked with this symbol: (M). Attention: DO NOT connect the antennas to the ‘USB A’ port of the AV 700 TV! Positioning the Antennas for Optimal Reception You must now make sure that your antennas are in a position that allows for good reception. In most situations, you will be able to obtain a good quality signal by leaving the antennas in the opened carrying case. | + For an optimal reception, unfurl the cables of the antennas (leaving the antennas in their pockets) and place them as far as possible from the _ AV 700 TV device, and as close as possible to a window. Never place the antennas less than 80cm (30 inches) from the AV 700 TV. Try different orientations to determine which one offers the best reception (see signal quality icon further down). Deploy the antennas away from any electromagnetic source such as a TV orPC, and away from any metal parts (at least 30 cm/12"). The supplied antennas are directional antennas: the most sensitive side is the front side, with the shortest element. In some areas, reception may be very poor, and you may need to take the antennas out of their pockets. In such a case, turn them in opposite directions, as far away @ re from each other as possible. the USB À portt Note that both of the antennas have a power LED that will light up once they are correctly plugged in.

Note: you can use the AV 700 TV as a Digital TV tuner at home and connect the AV 700 TV to your home antenna using the supplied Antenna Adapter Cable (IMPORTANT: use only the ARCHOS” supplied cable, and connect only to a regular aerial antenna outlet, not a cable TV service outlet). Signal quality icon: This icon is located in the status bar. The color and the number of bars indicate the level of quality of the received signal. The icon is split in two parts, showing reception for the left and right antennas separately. When you move the antennas, allow a few seconds maler before the icon reflects any change. Please note that if you use your home antenna and the supplied Antenna Adapter Cable, itis normal that only the left side of the icon will show signal quality. Scanning for Chann From the Main Menu of the AV 700 TV, select the Digital TV menu icon and press the ENTER button. Using the action buttons, select Digital TV Settings and then select Scan.

3.4 Watching Digital TV in your Car*

With the AV 700 TV, you have the possibility to watch Digital TV on the move. For best reception while moving, the supplied antennas can be taken out of their carrying case to be mounted on the supplied car antenna support systems. You will first need to assemble the car antenna support systems, clip the antennas into place and then apply the support systems to a flat and smooth surface (such as a window area that does not interfere with the driver's view). For best reception, itis advised to place the antennas in opposite directions (the front of the antennas, with the shortest element, must not be directed towards metal parts), one on each side of the vehicle (front and back, or left and right). As reception conditions vary with vehicle types and other external conditions, it is advised to try different positions for the antennas to determine which one offers the best results. Note: if traveling long distances, you may need to re-scan for channels from time to time.

• Safety Notice: for the driver and passengers' safety, and to comply with some countries’ road regulations, the AV 700 TV should notbe placed such thatitis viewable by the driver (see additional notices and disclaimers in the legal section of this manual).

When you see the PlaysForSure” symbol on a web site for Windows® Portable Media Center (PMC})*, then these protected downloads will be playable on your AV 700 TV.

6.1 Protected Internet Video content

If you check the PlaysForSure"” website (www.playsforsure.com) you will find web retailers who offer rental, subscription, or purchasable video content. Remember, web sites must carry the PlaysForSure"” symbol in order for their videos to play on the AV 700 TV.

6.2 Non Protected Internet Video Content

The AV 700 TV plays .AVI files that are encoded in MPEG-4 format. It can play such video files at a maximum size of 720 x 576 pixels (25 frames/second). It can also play .WMV files (WMV9 SP) up to a maximum size of 352 x 288*, The AV 700 TV will not directly play files of type .mov, .mpg, or .mpeg. The number of encoding and compression schemes currently used to create video files is very extensive and seems to change on a weekly basis. There are so many standards and formats that it is very possible that the video fie you download from the Internet will not play right away on your device. Due to certain “variations”, even when video files are formatted in “MPE G-4" they may not play right away. If you have some video files that do not play directly on your AV 700 TV, they will have to be converted first. Windows Media® Player 10 (Available only for Windows XP) will convert your video fie automatically when you sync the file that is on your PC to the AV 700 TV. It will display a little message ‘converting’. You can also use the software MPEG-4 Translator included on the AV 700 TV hard drive to re-encode your video fies into the proper MPEG-4 SP format that the AV 700 TV can play. See the chapter Video - creating MPEG-4 video files with your computer for more details. *MPEG-4:150 standard by Moving Picture E xperts Group ; AVI: audio/video file container by Microsoft. MPEG- 4 SP with B-frames AVI up to 704x480@ 30f/s NTSC or 720x576@ 25f/s PAL.

7 VIDEO - Recording Video Files It is possible to record external video with your AV 700 TV. To do so, you will need the optional Docking Pod, which will give you a permanent and instant connection to your home entertainment system and allow you to record from your satellite receiver, cable box, VCR or Camcorder directly onto your AV 700 TV device. If you want to make recordings from a place other than where your pod is connected, then you can purchase the AV Travel Kit to bring along with your ARCHOS ” device and record from any other audio or video source. See the chapter Recording External Video with the Optional Docking Pod/Travel Kit for instructions on how to record video. Docking Pod AV Travel Kit These optional devices can be purchased from the ARCHOS” website: www.archos.com. EO - Creating MPEG-4 Video Files with your Computer

How to create an MPEG-4 video file Video files that come from your digital camcorder, sent to you via e-mail, or which are freely available on the Internet are encoded in many different ways. If not already in the proper MPEG-4 Simple Profile or WMV9 Simple Profie format, a transformation operation must be done in order that these video files can be played by the AV 700 TV. This transformation process is called re-encoding. There are basically two ways to do this; 1) Use the Synchronize button in Windows Media® Player 10 or 2) Use the PC tools which are available on the AV 700 TV's hard drive. The first method is very simple and merely requires that you synchronize a video fie in your Media Player library to your AV 700 TV. You do not have much control in this converting process though and Windows Media® Player determines which video types it will and will notre-encode. The second method, although itrequires some learning, will allow you to have much more control over the final quality ofthe re-encoded (converted) video fie. Itis described below. There are other tools available on the Internet, some free and some for sale, that can also convert your video fies into the appropriate MPEG-4 video file format for the AV 700 TV. See the web site www.mpegmobile.com for a list of a few of them. PC Tools The AV 700 TV is delivered with two Windows® based programs that allow you to create MPEG-4 Simple Profile AVI video files. They are the MPEG-4 Translator and Virtual Dub”. The MPEG-4 Translator will call the Virtual Dub program and give it the correct parameters to encode your video from its original format, .avi or .mpg {mpeg 1), and then encode it into an MPEG-4 SP .AVI file. The fie will be scaled in order to be played back properly.

If your video fik not an MPEG-4 Simple Profile .avi file of the proper size, you will need to re-encode it using the following utilities. For the AV 700 TV, you will need to create an AVI file that is MPEG-4 Simple Profile with a resolution up to 720 x 576 (depending on frame rate) and a sound track that is stereo MP 3 or WAV. In actuality, in all cases, a resolution beyond 640x480 does not add any advantage. MPEG-4 codec (Compression/Decompression) In order for MPEG-4-Translator to compress the video in a file of the format MPEG-4 SP thatthe AV 700 TV can read, it requires an MPEG-4 codec to be installed on your computer.If you do not have the approporiate codec installed, MPEG-4 Translator will tell you on start up which codec it requires. You will be able to download it for free from the Internet. Virtual Dub” A utility for transcoding one video file into another. This is a general purpose transfer and cleanup utility which has many options allowing for even the most difficult video translations. When you install it with the ARCHOS” Installation Utility, it will automatically unzip. It will prompt you to save it to C:\Program Files\VirtualDub. You should use this default directory location. Otherwise you will have to instruct the MPEG-4 Translator program where to find it. For more information on Virtual Dub” see the website - http://www.virtualdub.org. MPEG-4 Translator This program, developed by Archos, is a “Front-end” for the Virtual Dub program. Ithas a simple interface which you use and it then tells Virtual Dub how to process the video fie. lt sets all the parameters for Virtual Dub specifically to create a video fie in the right size and format to be read by the AV 700 TV. When you run it forthe fist time, the MPEG-4 Translator will need to locate the Virtual Dub program. If you did not install Virtual Dub in the default location, you will have to show the program where Virtual Dub is. If you forget, Windows® will give you an error when you try to launch it. MP3 Sound Codec If MPEG-4 Translator detects a suitable MP3 codec on your PC, it will use it, and your video file sound track will be MP3. Otherwise, it Voume_|_ Sounds | Audio | voies [Hardware will use the standard IMA ADPCM codec.

Manuachrer (Standard system devices) Location: Unknoum Device Siam. This device is working proper. Ifyou are unsure what codecs (audio and/or video) have been installed on your computer, you can see the list by going to the following location. ForWindows XP, clickon Start>Settings >Control Panel >Sounds andAudio Devices Properties >Hardware, choose Audio Codecs, then click on Properties. You will find a list here of all the audio codecs that are installed on your computer. Decoding of MPEG 2 video files is currentiy not supported by MPEG-4 Translator. These are usually .mpg or .mpeg format files, not the required AVI file. There are other tools found on the Internet {FlaskMPEG, Rippack, etc.) that may be downloaded in order to help you with these file types. À good starting place is the website www.digital-digest.com.

When you first run the program, if the required codec has not been installed yet. You should download the codec and install it on your computer. If the Virtual dub program has not been installed, you will also be notified, and you should install it (either with the ARCHOS” Installation Utility or the Virtual Dub website). If you have placed the Virtual Dub program in à folder other than the installer default folder, it will ask you to locate the fie. Select Source & Destination Files In this example, a source file 24 hours of Lemans.avi has been selected as the source video. You can see on the bottom of the window its original characteristics (width 720, height 576, frame rate 30). Next, you must then tell the program where to place (Set Destination file) the newly recoded version of the fie (don't worry, it will not erase the original). You should give it a new descriptive name, such as shown above Lemans_AV 700 TV.avi. Make sure you add the .avi extension. Next, you can change the parameters (Change Settings) of the encoder to adjust the level of quality of the final image. Like MP3 music, the higher the bit rate setting is made, the higher the quality of the music, or video in this case, that you will get. However, this will also take up more space on your hard drive. À setting of 900 kbps will give you a nice looking image for viewing on a television. For near DVD quality, you can set it up to 1200 kbps. Target & Priority Ifthe AV 700 TV device is not listed, select “ARCHOS” Default”. You will see à Priority box appear. This control is to allow you to select which feature of the video to be guarded. If for example you are re- encoding a video fie that is 800x600 in resolution and 30 frames per second, this is beyond the maximum resolution that the AV 700 TV can play. Thus, the MPEG-4 Translator program will have to decrease the resolution. Choosing LCD optimizes the final video format for viewing on the built in LCD screen. Choosing the TV option will optimize the movie to keep the highest possible frame rate. You can see what the size and frame rate will be by looking at the Video Image e : Destination parameters. When choosing TV, it is understood that the output will be optimized for a television, and not the built-in screen. Start rtualDub Status Main |Video | Pet |Log | Current video ame: 3489710753

As shown to the left, you will see the progress as it processes the video fie. If the Start button is grayed out, it would be for one of two reasons. 1) The source file is not a true AVI fie.

If you want to make recordings from a place other than where your pod is connected, then you can purchase the AV Travel Kit to bring along with your ARCHOS ” device and record from any other audio or video source. See the chapter Recording Audio with the Optional Docking Pod/Travel Kit to learn how to record sound. Docking Pod AV Travel Kit These optional devices can be purchased from the ARCHOS” website: www.archos.com. 1 3 MUSIC - Using iTunes" with your AV 700 TV The easiest way to transfer music files between a Macintosh computer and your AV 700 TV is to use the Macintosh Finder” to drag and drop the files to and from your Macintosh®. However, for Macintosh® users who do want to use the AV 700 TV with iTunes, ARCHOS” has developed a special i-Tunes® plug-in. You will find it in the folder /Data/i-Tunes Plug-in on the AV 700 TV hard drive or atthe ARCHOS” website. In this folder you will find a plug-in for Mac OS 9.x and another folder for Mac OS 10.x. You will also find a JPEG image illustrating where you need to copy the plug-in to. Once this is done, Tunes” will recognize the AV 700 TV as a ‘Device’. Please keep in mind the following: Attention Your AV 700 TV needs to be set to “Hard drive” mode (see the section System Settings in the Settings chapter or the chapter Connecting/Disconnecting the AV 700 TV to/from your PC on how to do this.)

1) Music purchased at Apple's on-line music store are copy protected with a proprietary encryption system. The

ARCHOS” device will not be able to play this purchased music or files in AAC format which you might have created. It will happily play MP 3 format files without problem.

2) When you create your Playlists with iTunes® (you can only create Playlists from songs that have been copied

to your AV 700 TV), your Macintosh® will save these Playlists to the root directory of your AV 700 TV. It will not save them to the AV 700 TV Playlists directory. It would be best to use the AV 700 TV itself to make Playlists and then save these Playlists in your Playlists folder. (See section Creating a Playlist in chapter Music - Playlists)

3) When you drag and drop MP3 files from your iTunes® library to your AV 700 TV, the i-Tunes® program will look

atthe 1D3 tag information of the MP3 file, and create a folder on the root of your AV 700 TV using the name of the Artist as the folder name. Then it will take the Album name 1D3 tag, and create a subfolder with that album as its name. Finally, it will take the MP3 songitself and place it into that album subfolder. Thus, althoughitis a clean structure of artists and albums, i-Tunes® does not follow the AV 700 TV convention of placing the music into the Music folder first.

The small + signs on the bottom left of the screen indicate the level of magnification, either + or ++. Click on STOP/ESC to go back to an unmagnified view.

By clicking on the action icon Play a Slideshow, the AV 700 TV will present each picture in the current folder for a set amount of time and then go on to the next picture. You can set the amount of time that each picture stays on the screen under the action icon Photo Browser Settings > Picture Pause. This parameter is the number of seconds each picture displays on the screen.

14.3 Transferring photos to your AV 700 TV

The AV 700 TV is equipped with a USB host port. This port, along with the USB Host adapter cable will allow you to connect USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) devices to your AV 700 TV and transfer files from that device to your AV 700 TV. Many cameras produced today are MSC type devices. Thus you can often plug your camera directly into the AV 700 TV's USB Host port and copy your photos with the ARCHOS” browser. If you do not have an MSC type camera, you can use a USB card reader and plug this into AV 700 TV's USB host port (via the USB host adapter cable). Finally if neither of these solutions is available to you, you can always copy the photos to your computer and then copy them from your computer to the connected AV 700 TV. 3 methods to copy photos to your AV 700 TV

1) Connect your Mass Storage Class camera to USB Host port (via USB host adapter cable).

2)Use a stand alone USB card reader with the USB host adapter cable.

3) Copy photos to your computer and then copy (or Sync with Windows Media® Player 10) to the AV 700 TV.

Once you plug an MSC type device into the USB host port (via the host adapter cable), the browser's left panel will show the contents of your extemal USB device, and the right panel will show the contents of your AV 700 TV's hard drive. Navigate to the panel which contains your photos (in this example /DCIM/113CANON).

22.3 Recording Procedure

Before the actual audio recording begins, there is a pre-recording screen which will allow you to adjust your recording settings.

1. On the main screen, select AudioC order then click on ENTER.

2. In the pre-recording screen, adjust the recording level* by clicking

on the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. Click on the record action icon (or Enter button) to start recording. Attention, the first time recording you should adjust your Settings.

• You should try some test recordings before deciding on which recording level gives the best sound quality. Don't be tricked by the volume of the headphones which can be adjusted independentiy with the UP and DOWN buttons.

3. Click on the Settings action icon to reveal the recording parameters

Reco screen as shown above.

4. Once you have clicked on the Record action icon (or Enter button),

you can pause the recording by clicking the Pause action icon (or Enter button) and then stop the recording by clicking on the STOP button. Set Title) You can record from any line-level audio source to the AV 700 TV. Be careful that the source audio is supplying a line level and not an amplified signal (turning down the volume on the player will work if you are using the headphone out signal of your audio device). À signal that is amplified too much will make for à terribly distorted recording. Incremental Recording While recording, you will notice the incremental recording action icon. This allows you to create incremental recordings. This means that the current recording stops and a new recording instantiy begins. The nextrecording has an additional number appended to its name. Thus ifyou create multiple incremental recordings, you might, for example, have files names of REC0000_01, RECO000_02, etc. This is good for recording old cassettes and old vinyl records. You can click on this icon during the blank space between each song. That way, each song of the vinyl disk or audio cassette will be one single music file.

22.4 Where is the Recording Saved?

The default location for audio recordings is the folder called Music. This can be changed though. For example, you click on the Music icon in the main menu and then you choose Browse Hard Drive. Notice that there is the Launch Audiocorder action icon. Each time you use this button to start the Audiocorder application instead of the AudioC order button on the main menu, you set the recording default location to the current folder. For example, lets say you have a folder called /MusicWinyls/S oul. If you go to this folder and then make a recording using the action icon, you will set the default record location to this folder. Now, all your recordings you make with the Audiocorder icon will be saved in the folder /Music/Vinyls/S oul.

Audio files (analog recordings only) can be modified by deleting the sections you do not wish included. If you would like to edit an audio recording, you have the possibility to cut the file down to the specific part you want to keep. In the example below, you have recorded a lecture of 33 minutes and 22 seconds in length. You would like to cut out and save just one particular important section from 12 minutes and 15 seconds to 21 minutes and 5 seconds. The diagram below illustrates the situation.

23.1 Docking Pod Cable Connections

By installing the TV Docking Pod, you have an easy way to connect and disconnect your AV 700 TV to or from your home entertainmentsystem. Simply connectthe pod's multi-connect plug to the AV 700 TV as needed. If you have scheduled television recordings to make, then connect the AV 700 TV to the pod and let it make the recording while you are away. If you want to make TV recordings from a place other than where your pod is connected, then you can purchase the AV Travel Kit to bring along with your ARCHOS” device and record from any other audio/video source.

23.1.1 TV Docking Pod Description

a AV input jack - use either of the AV cables b AV ouput jack - use either of the AV cables € S-Video in - input (you can use a standard s-video cable (not included) for your video input) dAdapter connection - connect the included power adapter here e Infrared Emitter jack - plug in the included infrared emitter if you want the AV 700 TV to control a VCR, cable box, or sat. receiver.

23.1.2 Connecting the TV Docking Pod to your Television System - Connect & Test Method

Even if connecting audio-visual equipment is not your strong suit, by following our instructions and applying our Connect & Test method, you will be able to verify that your connections are correct. Refer to the connection diagram atthe end of this section while reading through each step below.

1) Connection: Powering the TV Docking Pod

Plug the included adapter/charger into the jack labeled DC-in on the TV docking pod. Your docking pod must always be powered, even if you do not have your AV700 connected to it. If not powered, your regular tuner's output (VCR, cablebox, satellite receiver) will not be seen on your television.

2) Connection: Breaking your regular TV Connection

The TV docking pod is a pass-through device. That is, if you do nothing more than connect it to your VCR, Cable box, or Satellite receiver and your television, it will pass the audio and video signals through to your TV and you will notice no difference in how your television system operates. Start by disconnecting your television from its usual source (ver, cable box, or satellite receiver).

3) Connection: Put the TV docking pod between your TV and Tuner

We will now putthe TV docking pod between these two devices you justseparated. Take one of the AV cables (they are identical, don't worry), and plug it into the AV Out jack of the TV docking pod, and plug the other end of this cable into your television (European users may need to use the included IN labeled scart adapter). Take the second AV cable and plug it into the AV In jack of the TV docking pod. The other end of this cable must now go to the video and audio output of your tuner (VCR, cable box, satellite receiver) that was previously connected to your television (European users may need to use the included OUT labeled scart adapter). TEST IT: Verify that you made the correct connections. +_ Turn on your television +_ Turn on your video device (ver, cable box, or satellite receiver)

+ You should be able to use your television system as you normally do. The TV docking pod is merely passing through the video and audio to your television. + Europe: If you don't see the video, check to make sure you used the correct SCART IN and OUT adapters.

4) Connection: Connect the AV 700 TV to the TV Docking Pod

Connect your AV 700 TV to the docking pod as shown. The AV 700 TV can be on or off when you connect it. If it is off, the act of connecting it to the docking will turn it on. If the AV 700 TV is lying flat next to the docking pod, there is a good chance that you will not be able to control it with the remote control. Thus, you should always setit up on its stand. TEST IT: Test now to verify that it works as desired. Turn on the AV 700 TV and your television. Hold down on the TV/LCD button for 2 seconds (button located on top of the AV 700 TV). The screen on your AV should go black. You should see the AV 700 TV screen now displaying to your television. If not, switch your television to auxiliary input (often called L1 or L2 just below channel 1) Hold the TV/LCD button again to return to viewing on your AV 700 TV.

5) Connection: the S-Video In

If you would like to get a higher quality video recording, and your video recorder, cable box or other video device has an S-video output, you can connect a standard S-video cable from itto your TV docking pod. This will carry only the video signal to the pod and your AV 700 TV, not the audio. The video pass thru feature is not supported for S-Video input. DO NOT PLUG IN BOTH THE S-VIDEO CONNECTOR AND THE STANDARD YELLOW AV IN CONNECTOR AT THE SAME TIME.

6) Connection: the Infrared Emitter

This is an optional connection. You will need to use this if you would like to change TV channels with the ARCHOS” remote control or if you want to be able to make scheduled recordings. This emitter, once stuck on to your cable box, satellite receiver, or video cassette recorder, will be able to turn that device on and off and select channels while you are away. The emitter acts like the remote control for that device. #1 Infrared (IR) Emitter Which device to control? You will affix the IR E mitter to the device you normally change your TV channels with. Do you change TV channels with your video cassette recorder remote control, your cable box remote control, or your satellite receiver remote control? Which ever one of these devices changes the channel that you view, then it is on this device that you will aff the IR Emitter. Locating the Infrared Receptor on your VCR or Cable box First, you must locate the infrared detector on the device. This is the small dark window (looks black or deep red actually) which you point your remote control at to change the channels. We will use a video cassette recorder {ver) as an example, but the following is true also for a cable box or satellite receiver. Look in your device’s user manual to see ifit shows you where the infrared detector window is. If you find it, then jump to the next step “Connecting it to the TV docking pod”. One way to locate the infrared receptor on your VCR is to cover up various parts of the face of your VCR with your hand while changing the channels and notice at what point your VCR's remote control stops working. By covering up various parts of the face, you will stop the infrared beam from reaching the infrared receptor. Keep changing the channels with your remote control, moving your hand over various areas until you have found where the infrared receptor is.

Connecting it to the TV Docking Pod Plug the connector end of the Infrared E mitter to the far right jack on the back of the TV Docking Pod. This emitter will act as your remote control for your scheduled recordings. Sticking it onto your device and Setting the IR Emitter code Now that you know where the infrared receptor is, you need to set the correct infrared emitter code on your AV 700 TV and then affix the IR emitter to your device. Every VCR, cable box, and satellite receiver has a different infrared code to tell it to turn on and off and how to change channels. With the IR emitter in one hand, move it over the infrared receptor on your cable box, VCR, or satellite receiver and then setthe infrared code as explained in the section Setting the Infrared Emitter Code. Once you getthe AV 700 TV to start controlling your device by infrared signals (there are test buttons for this - see the TV Control setting for help), you can then peel offthe white ring protecting the adhesive, and stick the IR emitter to your device. If your regular remote control for this device is sensitive to distances, you could affix the Infrared E mitter slightiy to the left or right of the device's receptor so as not to impede the functioning of the regular remote control.

The default location for video recordings is the folder called Video. If you click on the Video icon in the main menu, you will go to this folder.

23.6 Edliting Video Files

Video files recorded using the TV Docking Pod can be modified by deleting the sections you do not wish included. The editing you can do is either cropping or cutting of particular segments of the video fie. You will mark a segment of your video fie, and then you will tell the AV 700 TV to delete everything except the marked segment (crop) or to delete the marked segment (cut) from the video fie. These operations can be done multiple times on the same video file. Once finished, you will have the option to save the edit marks with the video or to write a new video file. If you save your fie with edit marks, you can always go back and change your edits at another time. The actual video information is not deleted. On the other hand, you can write a new fie which will only include the video parts that you specified in the edit session. This file will be smaller but you can never un-edit it. Music video section to keep Beginning of recording @)—— (b) End of recording Î | Example 1: You have recorded a music video program and would like to keep one single music presentation. The rest of the television recording you do not care to keep. In this case, you would set a Start mark (a) atthe beginning of the desired segment, and an End mark (b) at the end of the desired segment. You would then choose Keep selected part action icon which would then delete everything except the designated section.

FT FT] [1 A OS PF FT Example 2: You have recorded a television program but would like to remove certain sections before the program started, parts during the program, and the program afterwards because you had recorded a little extra. In this case, you would make à Start mark (a) at time 00:00 and then forward to the end of what you want to delete and make your End mark (b), and choose Remove selected part. This part of the video recording will now be cut out. Fast-forward to the center of the recording and make a Start Mark (c) where the section that you want to delete begins, and make an End mark (d) when it finishes. Again, choose the Remove selected part action icon and this section will be cut out. Do the same for the final section that you want to cut out. IMPORTANT NOTE When you pause at a given point to make a Startor End Mark, the actual point ofthe cut will be the nearest I-Frame. l-Frames are special frames in the video file which come about every one to four seconds. The editor can cut ONLY at an I-Frame. It is thus recommended that when you pause at the point you want to make your Start or End mark, that you click the LEFT button once (will jump to the previous l-frame) and then click the RIGHT button (shows the next l-frame) so that you can see your choice of I-Frames to cut at. Go to the I-Frame you desire and then set your Mark. Trying to set a mark between I-Frames is ineffective since the AV 700 TV will just choose the closest I-Frame.

1. Play the file and pause atthe spot you want to make your Start mark.

Select the Set a mark-in here action icon. Let the video play - you will notice a small blue mark. ) HN Q75 OS 1240 2. Now click on Pause atthe location you want to mark the end of your segment. Select the Set a mark-out action icon. Now that you have defined a segment in the video, you can click the Remove selected part or Keep selected part action icon. Although the set-mark action icons are available, you can only mark one segment at a time.

3. Continue to select or delete other segments as in 2. Once satisfied

with your edits, you can Save the selection which keeps the edit points and allows you to re-edit another time, or you can Save Selection as a new File which will create a new edited file named (name_EditO000).

The AV 700 TV video recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision® copyright protection system. If the source of your video is copy protected, the AV 700 TV will record in protected mode. You will see a "P"icon on the recording screen (not during playback) indicating that the file will be a protected file. Protected files can only be played back on the AV 700 TV that created it. The fie will not play on a computer. Further, the playback of protected files will be limited to the built-in LCD screen and not to an external television.

23.8.1 Manually Setting the Scheduler

If you would like to make a video recording for a future date or time, you can use the scheduler. You (4) can find it in the main menu. You can program up to twenty different recordings up to one month in “A advance. Once you program your dates and times of recording, press the action button OK to setthem. FM You must now put your AV 700 TV into standby mode by pressing on the red Standby/wake-up button on your ARCHOS” remote control or just leave it alone. If left alone, the AV 700 TV will go on standby itself after a few minutes. . Click the Scheduler icon. Select the line you want to edit using the UP and DOWN buttons, then click RIGHT to start editing. Set each line to the desired date, time (and channel if you are using the Infrared emitter to control your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver). If setting a specific channel on your external appliance, make sure that the letter before the channel number is A (A stands for Analog recording and D stands for Digital TV - see section

4.2 about using the scheduler for Digital TV recordings).

4. Click on the bottom action icon Edit program title and give a name of your choosing. Click on the save icon to

save the program. Click on the STOP/ESC button to return to the previous screen. 5.DO NOT shut off the AV 700 TV! Set the AV 700 TV to Standby (red ‘standby' button on remote control) or go back to the main menu screen and allow itto automatically (after a couple minutes of inactivity) go into standby mode. Empty Scheduler, ready to be programmed. Once a valid record Es time is entered, and the save button pressed, the empty box will get à green checkmark. Carat Cure cire rent Scheduler after having been set. The “-- Current” means that the AV 700 TV will record the current video signal (no channel changing). This is for people who do not use the stick-on infrared Se im tu Gr emitter. Da CN Gen CE - Cure cire rent Notes about setting the Scheduler: The scheduler automatically reorganizes the recording events chronologically. In order for a scheduled recording to start, you must leave the AV 700 TV in the main menu screen or set it to standby mode (press Standby button on remote control). Thatis, if you are listening to music, watching a video, or looking at photos on your AV 700 TV, it will not interrupt you in order to go make the scheduled recording. If you have connected and will be using the IR Emitter system (see the TV Docking Pod chapter as well as the chapter S etting the Infrared Emitter code below) with a video cassette recorder (VCR) please note that in order for the IR E mitter to properly control the VCR, your VCR should not be left in sleep mode. When the AV 700 TV user interface is in English, the Date format is set to Month/Day.

If the end time is earlier than the start time, then it is assumed that you start recording on the start date, and the recording ends on the following day at the end time. Once a scheduled recording has been made, orthe date of a recording has been passed, withoutthe recording having been made (the AV 700 TV was not connected to the docking pod or notin Standby mode), the schedule entry will be erased from the scheduler. Long recording times (2 hours and more) can create files that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB) each. The AV 700 TV will create multiple files in order to make long recordings. Thus a long scheduled recording may produce video files called VIDO000, VIDO001, and VIDO002. This is only in the case of recordings that are over 2 GB in size. This 2 GB file size constraint is due to the Windows® FAT 32 AVI file type specification. When you set the scheduler, the AV 700 TV will create a text file in its System folder called DVRTimer.txt. You should not erase this file.

23.8.2 Automated Yahoo!® TV Recording Scheduler

For those who have a My Yahoo!® account and use the calendar feature, the AV 700 TV can read the TV programs scheduled into your personal calendar and transmit these to your AV 700 TV to be included in the AV 700 TV scheduler. This way, you do not have to input all your scheduled recordings manually. You can sign up for an account 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 TV docking pod and you have set up the Infrared connector. Otherwise, the AV 700 TV will be unable to change channels on your tuner. It will record the currently selected channel. Furthermore, the AV 700 TV needs to be powered by a charger in order to go into standby mode rather than switch off completely. You must do the following:

1. Connect your AV 700 TV to your computer.

2. Go to your personal Yahoo!® calendar which has your TV programs scheduled.

3. Choose the Week view - starting with the current day as the beginning of the week.

4. Click on Printable View to show a cleaner printable version.

5. From your browser menu click on File >Save As... to save the fie.

6. Do not change the File Name, but do change the Save as Type to Web page, html only. Now save the file to

the folder System on your AV 700 TV.

7. Once you disconnectthe AV 700 TV from your computer, the AV 700 TV will automatically update its scheduler

with the newly saved TV programs from your My Yahoo!® calendar. If the AV 700 TV 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. Notes: Ifthe TV programs from your personal calendar do notseem to be correctiy copied to the AV 700 TV scheduler, go to the ARCHOS” web site to make sure that you have the very latest version of the AV 700 TV firmware. Update your frmware (Operating System) as explained in the chapter Updating the AV 700 TV firmware Operating System. 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 AV 700 TV scheduler when you save the html file to the AV 700 TV. If you want to delete scheduled items, you must do this in the AV 700 TV scheduler itself. Missed recordings (because you did not have the AV 700 TV connected to the docking pod at the record time) will be deleted from the scheduler. If a personal calendar recording event does not find the station name in your list of channels, it will put the event into the scheduler and mark it with a ?, indicating that you must assign a channel number to the name. Move the cursor to the line containing the ?, and click on the action icon “Set Channel”. 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. The AV 700 TV will keep the station name and its channel number.

This is a one time step to set your AV 700 TV to send the correct infrared codes to control your video AN cassette recorder, cable box, or satellite receiver. This is done so thatthe AV 700 TV, via the TV docking MA pod, can tum on and off your video device and also change its channels. If you do not plan on making scheduled recordings, then you do not need to install the IR emitter or set the infrared emitter code. Before beginning this procedure of setting the emitter code, your AV 700 TV must be connected to the TV docking pod, the pod powered with the charger/adapter, and the IR emitter connected to the pod. Hold the IR Emitter in front of the IR receptor (remote control reception panel on your tuner) so that the IR Emitter can control your device. See the chapter Connecting the TV Docking Pod to your Television System section Connection 5 : the Infrared Emitter of this manual if you do not know where the IR receptor on your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver is located. Once you have verified that the AV 700 TV is controlling your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver, (explained below) you can peal off the white ring protecting the adhesive, and stick the IR emitter to your device. AV700 Docking Pod Your tuner may be your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver.

Part 1: Choose your Device and Brand

Select the Settings action icon and click on the TV Control icon. ET 1. Select the type of device that you will stick your IR Emitter to. You have the choice of either a VCR (video cassette recorder), Cable Box, or Satellite Receiver. NT : | 2. Selectthe brand of your device. sus 3. Click on Tune IR Emitter button. marre 4. The TV Channels button allows you to give names to each channel. For example, if channel 6 is CNN where you live, then you can give channel 6 that name in this screen. Or, if you use the My Yahoo!® personal calendar to set your recording scheduler, the AV 700 TV will allow you to assign a channel number to a station name given from your scheduled TV programs. (see the chapter Automated Yahoo!® TV Recording Scheduler for details).

Part 2: Finding the Right Emitter Codes

This screen allows you to correctly setthe codes and parameters to allow the Infrared emitter to correctly control your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver).

1. Tune device code (one code available): Some manufacturers

use only one code for all of their products. The code does not change from one model to another or from one year to another. In this case, there will only be one single code available. You can CE. now test the channel select.

2. Tune device code (multiple codes available): Some makers

of video equipment don't use the same set of control codes for all ioaete oftheir products. They have various code sets for various models and various years. You will have to try each of the codes to find

out which code works with your device. In the example screen, you see the code V009. If this code does not work when doing the Test: channel select, advance it to the next code and then test to see if that next code works. 3.Test channel select: When you press the Test channel select button (highlight test channel select and press ENTER), the AV 700 TV will send a signal through the docking pod to the infrared emitter and change the channel on your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver). Ifthe Number of digits parameter is set to three, it will try to select channel 123. Ifthat parameter is set to 2, it will send the code for channel 12. If your tuner does not change channels when you click on this test button, try the next code for your device (step 2 above). 4.TestON/OFF: When you click on the Test On/Off button, the AV 700 TV will send a signal to the infrared emitter and turn your device on or off. Click this test button again and your device should change from on to off or off to on. If pressing this button does not tum your device on or off, try the next code for your device (step 2 above). Ifnone ofthe codes work, check that the infrared emitter is stuck directly over the infrared sensor on your tuner device. Note: In some rare cases the ON/OFF functionality may not work.

5. Tune channel select: These four parameters usually do not need to be set. Keep the default values to start

with. See the table below for an explanation of each. Parameter Description Key: + Setthis to On if nommally, you have to press this same key on your devices remote control in order to select a channel. Number of digits Set the number of digits that your device can recognize for à channel. Example: Set to 3 if you need to choose a channel greater than channel 99. Key: Enter Setthis to On ifnormall, you have to press the Enter key on your device's remote control after you enter the channel number. Example: If you normally press 1, 3, Enter for channel 13, then you would need to setthis parameter to On. Key Delay Change the delay between the emission of each digit of a channel. You may need to adjustthis ifthe AV 700 seems to send only halfthe digits of a channel or more digits of a channel. Example: Adjustthe key delay and retest channel select ifitsends channel 2 instead of 12 or sends 112 instead of 12. DA Trbieshooing

Shut off and reboot the computer and the AV 700 TV and then try connecting again in the preferred order mentioned in the chapter Connecting/Disconnecting the AV 700 TV to/from your PC. If using a USB hub, try connecting without using the hub (some hubs are not powered and may not work with the AV 700 TV). If using a USB port in the front of your computer, try a USB port in the back. Front USB ports are often from non-powered hubs. Do not connect to a USB port repeated through a keyboard. If using a laptop computer and a docking station, try connecting without the docking station. Macintosh® users must update to OS 10.2.4 or higher. (Hard Drive mode) If the Files Allocation Table (FAT) gets corrupted, the AV 700 TV may not show up in Windows XP for over one minute, and then it comes up as local drive. Use DOS Utility ChkDsk as shown below. (Hard Drive Mode) Windows® XP may recognize the AV 700 TV hard drive but yet not assign a drive letter to it. Right click on My Computer and select Manage. Then select Storage, then Disk Management. Within this window you may see the hard drive and be able to assign a drive letter by right-clicking on the hard drive, and selecting the option Change drive letter and paths.

Try stopping the device again later.” Answer: Shut off any program that might be accessing data on the AV 700 TV, including Windows® Explorer. If this does not work, shut down all programs, wait 20 seconds, then try the green arrow one or two times again. If this does not work, you can shut off your AV 700 TV with the Stop/Esc button and then unplug it.

24.2 Charging and Power issues

You do not need to fully discharge the batteries before recharging them. Problem: A full battery charge does not last as long as the specifications suggest. Answer: The specifications are under the condition that the screen backlight goes off after 30 seconds (for music) and the user does not access the machine, it just sits and plays. If you get significantly less time from a full charge, call our technical support hot-line.

24.3 AV 700 TV locks up (freezes operation) or Stops

Problem: The AV 700 TV locks-up. None of the buttons work. Solution: f the ‘Lock buttons’ is set, none of the buttons respond. Hold down the unlock action button for three seconds to turn off the ‘Lock buttons’ function. A freeze up could also be caused by electrostatic phenomena. Thatis, static electricity has temporarily knocked out the AV 700 TV. Hold down on the STOP/OFF button for 15 seconds and the AV 700 TV will shut off. Restart it normally now.

24.4 File issues, corrupted data, formatting, and partitioning

Problem: | want to clean up my AV 700 TV's hard drive, but Windows® will not let me use the standard hard drive cleaning tools. Answer: This is because Windows® sees your AV 700 TV as a Windows Device and not a hard drive (USB Port is set to Windows Device in Setup > System). Do not change back to hard drive and run à defragmenter program. This will give unexpected results. Problem: On the AV 700 TV, | find new fie names and folder names that | never created and/or they have strange gibberish names. Answer: (Hard drive mode) Most likely, the AV 700 TV's fie allocation table (FAT) has been corrupted. This could have been due to the AV 700 TV shutting down (due to low battery power) while reading or writing to your computer via the USB connection. To fix a corrupted FAT problem, you should use the Error Checking utility orthe Check Disk utility explained at the end of this section. Attention: Windows and Macintosh often write extra files to the hard drive such as finder.def or System volume info. These are normal and will not harm the AV 700 TV. Problem: Can | defragment the AV 700 TV's hard drive? Answer: (Windows Device Mode) The AV 700 TV maintains an optimized file system and does not need to be defragmented. Defragmenting will cause unexpected problems. Problem: | want to reformat the AV 700 TV's hard drive. Answer: You can do this, but it will erase ALL of the data on your AV 700 TV. Sometimes this may be necessary if your FAT (File Allocation Table) becomes so corrupted that nothing seems to fix your file problems. First, as explained below, you should run ScanDisk or the DOS chkdsk (Check Disk) program to try to fix your problem. If this doesn't fix your problem and you are sure you must reformat the AV 700 TV hard drive, then go to the screen Settings > System and press and hold the DOWN action button for three seconds. À button “Format HD” will appear. Use this button to format the AV 700 TV's hard drive. Remember, doing this will erase all the data on the AV 700 TV's hard drive!
