Post-record
- This is a safety margin added to the end of a scheduled recording which was set via the My Yahoo!® TV sched- uler of your personal calendar. It affects ONLY these recordings. This is just in case the clocks between your ARCHOS device and the broadcast station are different or if the broadcast station runs overtime.
Notes about the scheduler
•The scheduler automatically reorganizes the recording events chronologically,
•In order for a scheduled recording to start, you must leave the ARCHOS device on the main menu screen or leave it in
•If you use the IR emitter to change channels on a VCR, satellite or cable box (see: The Infrared Emitter), note that this external device must be left ON, and not in sleep mode.
•When the ARCHOS user interface is set to English, the date format is set to Month/Day.
•If the end time is earlier than the start time, it is assumed that you start recording on the start date, and the recording ends on the following day at the end time.
•Once scheduled recording has been made, or the date of a recording has been passed, without the recording having been made (the ARCHOS was not connected to the DVR Station or was not in standby mode), the schedule entry will be erased from the scheduler.
•When you set the scheduler, the ARCHOS device will create a text file in the System folder (DVRTimer.txt), you should not erase this file.
Automated Yahoo!® TV Recording Scheduler
•If you have a My Yahoo!® account and use the calendar feature to schedule TV programs, you can use your ARCHOS device to read the TV programs scheduled into your personal calendar and transfer these to its own Scheduler.
•If you do not have an account, you can create one and learn how to use the My Yahoo!® TV and calendar functions at the Yahoo!® Website (www.yahoo.com).
•Please note: Using the scheduler is particularly useful when you have the optional DVR Station and you have set up the Infrared emitter to control your tuner device.
You must do the following:
1.Connect your ARCHOS device to your computer.
2.Go to your personal Yahoo!® calendar which has your TV programs scheduled.
3.Choose the Week view – starting with the current day as the beginning of the week.
4.Click on Printable View to show a cleaner printable version.
5.From your browser menu click on File > Save As… to save the file.
6.Do not change the File Name, but do change the Save as Type to Web page, HTML only. Now save the file to the System folder on your ARCHOS device.
7.When you disconnect your ARCHOS from your computer, the ARCHOS device will automatically update its scheduler with the newly saved TV programs from your My Yahoo!® calendar. If the ARCHOS encounters a television station name that it does not know the channel number for (was never set), it will indicate so, and direct you to go to the scheduler to manually assign a channel to the station name.
Notes:
•If the TV programs from your personal calendar do not seem to be correctly copied to the ARCHOS scheduler, go to www.archos.com/firmware to make sure that you have the latest firmware version (see Updating the Firmware)
•If you change your Yahoo!® personal calendar by deleting some TV programs and adding new ones, only the new programs will be added to the ARCHOS scheduler when you save the HTML file to the ARCHOS device.
If you want to delete scheduled items, you must do this in the ARCHOS scheduler itself.
•Missed recordings (because you did not have the ARCHOS connected to the DVR Station at the record time) will be deleted from the scheduler.
