Connecting the Archos™ 104 to a Stereo system

Connecting your Archos™ 104 to a stereo system allows you to listen to your Archos™ 104’s music on it without

a headset. You will need a standard (mini headphone to RCA) audio cable for this which is not supplied with the

Archos™ 104. The diagram below illustrates the setup. Plug the audio cable into the headphone jack and into the

auxiliary jacks on your stereo. Note that this is only a schematic representation of a stereo. If in doubt, the manual

of your stereo will enable you to identify the auxiliary inputs.

Connecting the Archos™ 104 to/from your Computer

Your device comes conﬁ gured as a Windows® Device and will be immediately recognized by your computer

if you are running Windows® XP (with Service Pack 1 minimum) and Windows Media® Player 10. If you have

another version of Windows®, not sure what version of Windows® XP you have, or if you are using a Macintosh®,

then you will need to change the USB (Universal Serial Bus) Port setting on the Archos™ 104. You will do this

by going to System and USB Port and change it to ‘Hard Disk’.

Connection order: See the sections below for your particular computer’s operating system.

1) Turn on the Archos™ 104.

2) With your computer running, plug the USB cable into your computer.

3) Plug in the other end of the USB cable to the Archos™ 104 USB Device port (if your computer asks to install a

new driver for the new hardware, then you must unplug it and change the USB Port to Hard Drive.)

Windows® XP

Please verify* that you have Windows® XP and it is updated it to at least, Service Pack 1. You must also

have Windows Media® Player 10 (WMP10) installed on your computer. This way, you can take advantage of

connecting it as a ‘Windows Device’. Connect it to your PC as enumerated above and you can then see the

Archos™ 104 in Windows® Explorer and WMP10. Without Windows® XP Service Pack 1 (a free update) or

Windows Media® 10, you cannot use it as a Windows® recognized ‘Device’ and will have to follow the instructions

for Windows® ME & 2000 below.

* Right-click on ‘My Computer’ select ‘Properties’, and then look in the tab labeled ‘General’. It should say “Service

Pack 1” or higher.

Windows™ ME and 2000

Attention: Before connecting the Archos™ 104 to your computer with the USB cable, go to Setup>System>USB

Port and change it to ‘Hard Disk’.
