You can prevent the ARCHOS 105 from executing unintended functions

by locking the buttons. To lock the buttons, hold down on the MENU

button until the “lock” icon appears in the top-left corner of the screen.

Now the buttons are disabled, but you can still use the UP and DOWN

controls on the navigation pad to change the volume. To unlock the

buttons hold down again on the Menu button until the “lock” icon

disappears.

Putting Music onto your ARCHOS 105

The ARCHOS 105 is designed to work seamlessly with Windows Media® Player (WMP) versions 9, 10 and

11. The Windows Media® Player software is used to download digital media content from the Internet to your

computer and organize it. You will also use it to synchronize (copy) the contents of your Windows Media® Player

media library to your ARCHOS device. See the comparison chart below for an explanation of the different features

available when running Windows Media® Player 9 and 10/11.

The Synchronize button in Windows Media® Player (WMP) is a one way ‘sync’ button.

That is, it will add music, photo and video ﬁ les to your ARCHOS 105 so that you have

the same digital media on your ARCHOS 105 as you have in your Windows Media®

Player media library. Of course, you can choose to sync only

certain songs, photos or videos, or sync your entire library.

On WMP10/11, you can click the button Set up Sync in the Sync tab and then check

the box labeled Synchronize Device Automatically. This is the auto-sync advantage of

WMP10/11. If this box is checked, then each time you connect your ARCHOS 105 to

your PC, Windows Media® Player will automatically start up and check to see if there is any new music, photos

or videos in your media library, and if so, will then copy them to your ARCHOS 105. On the other hand, with

Windows Media® Player 9, you have to tell it what you want to sync, WMP9 cannot synchronize automatically

when you connect your ARCHOS 105 to your computer.

Note for WMP10/11 users: Files added to your ARCHOS 105 from another computer cannot be added to the

Windows Media® Player Library when you connect your ARCHOS 105 to the computer. Songs which have been

added, will however, be listed in the device’s ARCLibrary.
