Copy Protection

•The ARCHOS recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision™ copyright protection system.

•You will see a ‘P’ icon on the recording screen (not during playback), indicating that the file will be a protect- ed file.

•Protected files can only be played back on the ARCHOS device that created them, and not on a computer.

•The playback of protected files is also limited to the built-in LCD screen and cannot be displayed on an exter- nal television.
