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

1.From the “TV Control” screen, select “Set TV Channel List”.

2.Verify that the channel list on the ARCHOS is the same as on your tuner.

3.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.

1st Test: turning your tuner off

1.From the “TV Control” screen, select “Set Infrared Emitter”. This first screen allows you to correctly set the codes and parameters so that the DVR Station can turn your tuner on/off automatically (for a scheduled recording).
