DVR Station Gen 5

2.1. COnneCTiOn prinCiples
The ARCHOS DVR Station allows you to record video from most any standard video
source. Typically this is your home television system. By placing the DVR Station
next to your television, you have a simple way to connect and disconnect your
ARCHOS device simply by placing it into the station.
The DVR Station is a ‘pass-through’ device. This means that when your ARCHOS de-
vice is not placed in it and video is playing (DVD, Television, etc.), it simply passes the
audio and video signals through the DVR Station to your television.
What this means is that you will place the ARCHOS DVR Station ‘between’ your tele-
vision reception device (Cable box, satellite receiver, Digital TV receiver, etc.) and your
television. See Diagram
B
on the Connection Guide.
When connecting cables between devices, always remember that the OUT connectors
of one device must be connected by cables to the IN connectors of the next device.
You can think of it as the signals traveling out of one device into the next device.
Finally, make sure that you always match the color of the connector with the color of
the jack it is being plugged into.

!
Never insert your ARCHOS device in the DVR Station without the corresponding plastic DVR adapter as
this could easily damage the connectors.
See
Diagram
A
on the Connection Guide.
Take the DVR adapter that came with your ARCHOS Gen 5 device. The plastic DVR
Adapter does not come with the DVR Station.
Insert the DVR Adapter into the DVR Station.
This will allow your ARCHOS device to perfectly t into the DVR Station.
If you need to remove the DVR Adapter from the DVR Station, we recommend that you use a screwdriver:
insert it in the square-shaped hole, underneath the device, and push until the DVR Adapter comes out. See
following image:

When connected to the charger/adapter, the DVR Station will also allow you to charge your ARCHOS.
Just insert your ARCHOS into the powered DVR Station, and it will start charging. The battery will be
completely charged when the green
CHG
light (on the ARCHOS device) blinks.
