7.1Transferring pictures to your PMA430
From a camera, you can transfer your pictures to your PMA430 by first putting them on your PC. Then connect the PMA430 to your computer and paste your image files to the Photos folder of the PMA430 hard drive. Another possibility is to connect your digital still camera to the USB Host port using the included short USB Host cable adapter.
If your camera follows the Mass Storage Class (MSC) standard for USB connection, then your camera will show up in the file browser as the folder /ExternalDevice. If you look in this folder you will see your photos. See the chapter on the File Browser for instructions on how to copy files. Attention: Not all digital cameras are MSC type devices, in which case you will have to transfer your images to your computer first. Note also that you cannot transfer files from your PMA400 to a camera!.

8 Video Application
This is the video viewer application. When you click on this icon in the main screen, you will be sent directly to the Video Browser. To watch a video, you simply highlight the video file and then click the PLAY button. Keep in mind that the PMA430 will only play video files that are encoded in MPEG4 format (see section
Playing Video Files from the Internet below for details). Other files formats such as .mov, or .mpg, will not automatically be playable. However, you can yourself convert certain files types, see the chapter Creating MPEG4 Video Files with your Computer.
Select the desired video file and click PLAY. | Click on the | button (top right) for file info. |
To watch your video files on a television, make sure you have connected your TV Cradle correctly to your television (see the TV Cradle manual) and then hold down on the LCD/TV button on the top of the unit or hold down the TV/LCD button on the ARCHOS remote control for 3 seconds. If you don’t see a clear color image, you may have to set your PMA430 to your local television standard (NTSC or
PAL) in Settings > TV Out. The screen overlay information will disappear after a few seconds.
•Use the PLAY button to pause/resume the video.
•Use the UP/DOWN buttons to control the volume.
•Hold down the RIGHT/LEFT buttons to fast forward or fast reverse through the video.
