Notes about setting the Scheduler.

•The scheduler automatically reorganizes the recording events chronologically.

•In order for a scheduled recording to start, you must leave the AV400 in the main menu screen or set it to standby mode (press Standby/ On button on remote control). That is, if you are listening to music, watching a video, or looking at photos on your AV400, it will not interrupt you in order to go make the scheduled recording.

•If you have connected and will be using the IR Emitter system (see the TV Cradle manual as well as section 6 below) with a video cassette recorder (VCR) please note that in order for the IR Emitter to properly control the VCR:

1.Your VCR should not be left in sleep mode.

2.Some VCRs will shut off automatically after a few minutes when left on. See your VCR user manual for instructions on how to force it to stay on continuously.

•When the user interface is in English, the Date format is set to Month/ Day.

•If the end time is earlier than the start time, then it is assumed that you start recording on the start date, and the recording ends on the following day at the end time. For example, the ﬁrst scheduled item in the screen above will start recording on the 16th day of June, and end on the 17th at 2am.

•Once a scheduled recording has been made, or the date of a recording has been passed, without the recording having been made (the Archos unit was not in the TV Cradle or not in Standby mode), the schedule entry will be erased from the scheduler.

•Long recording times (2 hours and more) can create ﬁles that are greater than 2GB each. The AV400 will create multiple ﬁles in order to make long recordings. Thus a long scheduled recording may produce video ﬁles called VID0000, VID0001, and VID0002. This is only in the case of recordings that are over 2GB in size. This 2GB ﬁle size constraint is due to the Windows™ FAT32 AVI ﬁle type speciﬁcation.

•When you set the scheduler, the AV400 will create a text ﬁle its System folder called DVRTimer.txt. You should not erase this ﬁle.
