Delete Folder: this will delete the folder and its entire contents.

It will ask “Do you really want to delete folder X and all ﬁ les

Contextual Menu while in the Double Browser

By using the unique Archos double browser system, you can

copy or move ﬁ les from one location in the ﬁ le structure to

another (caution: there is a limit of 1000 ﬁ les per folder). While

in the Browser mode, you simply click the RIGHT button and a

second browser window will open. You can jump between the

two windows using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons. Wherever the cursor

is highlighting a ﬁ le or folder, that window is the source for the

copy. The destination folder will be the other window. Once you

have decided on the destination folder, move to the source

browser window, highlight the ﬁ le to copy, and then click on

the MENU button. You can now choose Copy ﬁ le to copy the

highlighted ﬁ le, Copy All Files to copy all the ﬁ les in that folder to

the destination folder, or Move File to move it to the destination

folder.

4.4 Recording MP3 Music

With the Gmini series, you do not need a computer to create MP3 music ﬁ les. It is

capable of recording from the built-in microphone or an analog line source (from a HiFi

system, portable stereo, CD Player, etc.). Before the actual recording begins, there is a

pre-recording screen which will allow you to adjust your recording settings. See section

4.2.5 of this manual for a complete explanation of these parameters.

1. From the main menu screen, select Recorder

then click on OK.

2. In the pre-recording screen, adjust the recording

level* by using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons (line-in recording

only). You can click on PLAY to start the recording or

you can click the MENU button then select Record

Settings to set the recording parameters.

3. The Record Settings selection from the MENU

button reveals the recording parameters screen

as shown here. Be sure to set the correct Source.

You will hear silence during the recording and

playback if the incorrect source is chosen.

4. Once you have clicked on the PLAY/PAUSE

button to start your recording, you can pause the

recording by clicking that button again, or stop the

recording by clicking on the STOP button.

* You should try some test recordings before deciding on which recording level gives the best sound quality. Don’t

be tricked by the volume of the headphones which can be adjusted with the UP/DOWN buttons.
