There are two main methods to transfer your own videos onto the ARCHoS ™ :
Synchronize your videos with Windows Media ® Player 10
This method requires your ARCHoS ™ ’s USb connection to operate in
‘Windows Media Device’ mode (see: System Settings ). Windows Media ®
Player 10 will copy the videos you have selected directly in the Video folder
of the ARCHoS ™ .
Copy and Paste your video files from your computer into the Video folder of
your ARCHoS ™ (see: Computer Connection for details on how to connect your
ARCHoS ™ device to your computer).

Your ARCHoS ™ is a certified PlaysForSure ™ device. This means that when-
ever you download a protected video or music file from an Internet plat-
form bearing the PlaysforSure ™ logo, you can be sure that it will play on
your ARCHoS ™ device.
CREATING CoMPATIbLE VIDEo fILES WITH YoUR CoMPUTER
If some of your videos don’t play on your ARCHoS ™ device, you may need to trans-
code them to a compatible format.
The easiest way to do this is by using Windows Media ® Player 10 to transfer vid-
eos to your ARCHoS ™ in ‘Windows Media Device’ mode. Windows Media ® Player 10
will automatically convert most formats to the WMV format that your device can play.
If you don’t want to use Windows Media ® Player 10, a search on the Internet
should allow you to find suitable utility programs to do this job.
