There are two connection modes for your ARCHOSdevice to connect to your com- puter. When your ARCHOSdevice is turned on and you connect it to a computer, a screen will pop up on the ARCHOSasking you to choose the connection mode to be used for this connection (see Connection Steps).

The ARCHOScan be connected as a ‘Windows Media Device’ if you have Windows Media® Player 10 (WMP10) or higher installed on your computer. Otherwise, it can connect as a ‘PC Hard Drive’.
