ARCHOS Version 2.1 - Manual (Page 52)

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.
