USER MANUAL - version 1
VERIFYING THE CHANNEL LIST
From the “TV Control” screen, select “Set TV Channel List”.
This list was created from the channel line-up you selected during the TV Program Guide activation. Verify
that the channel list on the ARCHOS is the same as on your tuner.
Here you can deselect/select a channel or change the number of a channel.
SETTING THE INFRARED EMITTER
The DVR Station has a high-powered infrared LED, located on the front of
the device, at the same place as the remote control receiver.
It allows your ARCHOS device to communicate with your tuner (VCR,
cable box, satellite receiver or Digital TV receiver), 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 sched
-
uled recordings, then you do not need to set the infrared emitter code.

Test: turning your tuner off
From the “TV Control” screen, select “Set Infrared Emitter”. This first screen allows you to correctly set
the codes and parameters so that the ARCHOS can turn your tuner on/off automatically (for a scheduled
recording).
TV Receiver”: select the type of tuner that you want to control with the IR Emitter (“VCR”, “Cable/DSL
box”, “Satellite Receiver”, “DVD Recorder” or “Digital TV”).
Receiver brand”: choose the brand of your tuner. You can use the
buttons on the remote control
to scroll the list faster.
Select the “
Test power Off code” button. Make sure that your tuner is on. Your ARCHOS device will then try
to turn your tuner off. After a few seconds, your ARCHOS will ask you if the device responded correctly:
If your tuner turned off, select “
Yes”, and move on to the next section.
If your tuner did not turn off, select “
No, try next code”. Your device will try turning the tuner off again, us-
ing a different code. Repeat this operation until the ARCHOS manages to turn the tuner off.
If none of the codes work, check that the DVR Station is positioned in a way that allows the infrared signal to reach your
tuner’s receiver. Note: In some rare cases the ON/OFF functionality may not work.
