Note for HDMI Connections:

Europe : Since the HDMI output connection does not allow a pass-through from any of the analog inputs, Archos recommends that you connect your tuner’s primary scart output directly to your television and the auxiliary (secondary) scart output to the TV+ inputs. In this case, you would not use the analog output connectors of the TV+.

North America: Since the HDMI output connection does not allow a pass-through from any of the analog inputs, Archos recommends that you connect one of your tuner’s video outputs directly to the TV and a secondary video output to the TV+ inputs. In this case, you would not use the analog output connectors of the TV+.

With this setup, you will only be able to record the channel that is currently dis- played on the screen. You will also not be able to use the TV Program Guide or the scheduler.
