4.Select the “Test power Off code” button. Make sure that your tuner is on. Your ARCHOS device will then try to turn your tuner off. After a few seconds, your ARCHOS will ask you if the device responded correctly:

If your tuner turned off, select “Yes”, and move on to the next section.

If your tuner did not turn off, select “No, try next code”. Your device will try turn- ing the tuner off again, using a different code. Repeat this operation until the ARCHOS manages to turn the tuner off.

If none of the codes work, check that the ARCHOS is positioned in a way that allows the infrared signal to reach your tuner’s receiver. Note: In some rare cases the ON/OFF functionality may not work.

2nd Test: changing channels on your tuner

After you select “Yes” at the end of the 1st test, the following screen appears. It allows you to correctly set the parameters so that the ARCHOS can change channels on your tuner (for a scheduled recording).

1.For the “Channel” parameter, select the highest channel that is currently memo- rized on your tuner.

2.Select the “Test channel select” button. Make sure that your tuner is on. Your ARCHOS device will then attempt to switch your tuner to the selected channel. After a few seconds, your ARCHOS will ask you if the device responded correctly:

If this worked, select “Yes”.

If this did not work, select “No, try next option”. Your device will try again to switch your tuner to the selected channel, using a different option*. Repeat this operation until it successfully changes the channel on your TV receiver.

*Here is a description of the different parameters automatically set by the ARCHOS:

-“Key Delay”: delay between the emission of each digit of a channel (“Short”, “Normal”, “Long”).

-“Key: Enter”: Set to “On” if normally, you have to press an “OK” button on your turner’s remote control

after you enter the channel number. Example: If you normally press 1, 3, “OK” to access channel 13, then this parameter is set to “On”.
