13.2Opera™ Browser

This is an Internet browser application allowing you to access and display web pages. The Network application in the settings tab must be configured correctly and a connection to the network must be made (network icon in the status bar on the bottom of the screen) in order to browse web pages.

This browser does not have plug-ins like desktop computer browsers, thus web pages with Flash™ animation, Active X™ controls, media, or PDF files will not display. If it is possible, Opera™ will ask you if you would like to download the file. This is the case with PDF files for example. You can then open the downloaded file in an application that was created to play or read that file type. There is a ? help icon in Opera™ menu bar which explains how to use the application.

14 Audio-Visual Settings

14.1TV Output

When your PMA400 is connected to a television either via the TV Cradle or with the optional travel cable, you may need to adjust this to PAL for European television systems or to NTSC for North American television systems. Most all countries of the world use one of these two formats.

You can set the still image display to Progressive if you find that viewing still images on your television produce flickering. This is usually due to pictures with fine lines in them and is not a fault of the television nor the PMA400. Setting to Progressive will eliminate such flickering but will also reduce the perceived resolution.

14.2VideoCorder Settings

If you decide to use the IR Emitter for scheduled television recordings (to change the channels and turn on your TV tuner), you will need to set the infrared codes for your VCR, Cable Box, or satellite receiver. See the section on making a scheduled recording for details on how to set this.

14.3Equalizer

To set the sound quality. This is the same equalizer as in the Music playing application.

15 Hardware Settings

15.1LCD Settings

Use this to eliminate any LCD screen flickering.

15.2Light & Power

Use this to adjust your screen settings when powered by battery or when powered from the Adapter/Charger. By setting these at lower values when running on the battery, you can save battery power and extend the autonomy of your device.

15.3Recalibrate

Run this application if it seems that the point you touch on the screen with the stylus does not aligned with the button or control you want. This application will recalibrate the touch screen for horizontal and vertical accuracy.

15.4Network

This application is the key to making the E-mail and the Opera™ browser work. You can make a network connection three ways.

-Via the infrared port

-Via a wired USB to Ethernet adapter (must be an Archos approved adapter)

-Via the built-in Wifi card

Here we will take an example Wifi network connection at a public Wifi access point.

Start the Network Application

Click once on the Network application and you will come to the first screen where you will select the Services tab. Here is where you will see the available network connection services that you have set up. Since we are creating the first service, the list is naturally empty. Click on the button Add.
