to access the Setup Screen, then highlight TV Control and press OK.
•Part 1: Choose your Device and Brand

2.Select the brand of your device.
3.Highlight the Tune IR Emitter button, press OK.
The TV Channels button allows you to give names to each channel. For example, if channel 6 is CNN where you live, then you can give channel 6 that name in this screen. Or, if you use the My Yahoo!® personal calendar to set your recording sched- uler, the ARCHOS™ device will allow you to assign a channel number to a station name given from your scheduled TV programs.
•Part 2: Finding the Right Emitter Codes
This screen allows you to correctly set the codes and parameters to allow the Infrared emitter to correctly control your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver).
1.Tune device code (one code available): Some manufacturers use only one code for all of their products. The code does not change from one model to another or from one year to another. In this case, there will only be one single code avail- able. You can now test the channel select.
2.Tune device code (multiple codes available): Some makers of video equipment don’t use the same set of control codes for all of their products. They have vari- ous code sets for various models and various years. You will have to try each of the codes to find out which code works with your device. In the example screen, you see the code V009. If this code does not work when doing the Test: channel select, advance it to the next code and then test to see if that next code works.
3.Test channel select: When you press the Test channel select button (highlight test channel select and press OK), the ARCHOS™ device will send a signal through the DVR Station’s infrared emitter and change the channel on your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver). If the Number of digits parameter is set to three, it will try to select channel 123. If that parameter is set to 2, it will send the code for channel 12. If your tuner does not change channels when you click on this test button, try the next code for your device (step 2 above).
