Notes:

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/firmware to make sure

that you have the latest firmware 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 file 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 find 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 EMITTER

The 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 reflection 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

reflective 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.
