DVR Station Gen 5
3.4. COnfiguring THe TV COnTrOl seTTings
Your ARCHOS needs to be connected to the DVR Station. You also need to have connected your tuner to
the DVR Station (see:
Diagram
B
on the Connection Guide sheet).
From the ARCHOS Home Screen, select
the “Settings menu item, and
choose “TV Control” to display the “TV
Control” settings screen.
This settings screen allows you to set
the DVR Station’s IR emitter as well as
configure the channel list.
VERIFYING THE CHANNEL LIST
From the “TV Control” screen, select “Set TV Channel List”.
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 IR EMITTER
The DVR Station has a high-powered infrared LED, located
on the front of the device, at the same place as the infrared
receiver (see:
How to Use the Remote Control
).
It allows your ARCHOS device to communicate with your
tuner (VCR, cable box, satellite receiver or Digital TV re-
ceiver), 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.
