Archos AV 500 series VIDEO Setting the Infrared Emitter Code *

Notes:

• If the TV programs from your personal calendar do not seem to be correctly copied to the AV 500 scheduler, go to

the ARCHOS™ web site to make sure that have the very latest version of the AV 500 ﬁ rmware. Update your ﬁ rmware

(Operating System) as explained in the chapter Updating the AV 500 ﬁ rmware Operating System.

• 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 AV 500 scheduler when you save the html ﬁ le to the AV 500. If you want to

delete scheduled items, you must do this in the AV 500 scheduler itself.

• Missed recordings (because you did not have the AV 500 connected to the pod at the record time) will be

deleted from the scheduler.

• If a personal calendar recording event does not ﬁ nd the station name in your list of channels, it will put the event

into the scheduler and mark it with a ?, indicating that you must assign a channel number to the name. Move

the cursor to the line containing the ?, and click on the action icon “Set Channel”. You can now scroll through

the channel numbers and assign a number to the station name for that event. You only have to do this once.

The AV 500 will keep the station name and its channel number.

VIDEO – Setting the Infrared Emitter Code *

This is a one time step to set your AV 500 to send the correct infrared codes to control your video

cassette recorder, cable box, or satellite receiver. This is done so that the AV 500, via the TV docking

pod, can turn on and off your video device and also change its channels. If you do not plan on making

scheduled recordings, then you do not need to install the IR emitter or set the infrared emitter code.

Before beginning this procedure of setting the emitter code, your AV 500 must be connected to the TV

docking pod, the pod powered with the charger/adapter, and the IR emitter connected to the pod. Hold the

IR Emitter in front of the IR receptor (remote control reception panel on your tuner) so that the IR Emitter can

control your device. See the chapter Connecting the TV docking pod to your Television System section

Connection 5 : the Infrared Emitter of this manual if you do not know where the IR receptor on your VCR,

cable box, or satellite receiver is located. Once you have veriﬁ ed that the AV 500 is controlling your VCR, cable

box, or satellite receiver, (explained below) you can peal off the white ring protecting the adhesive, and stick the

IR emitter to your device.

Your tuner may be your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver.
