4.Close the screen to stop and save the recording*. The automatic stop setting (“Auto Stop Rec”) is preset to 2 hours.

“Move” function of the ARCHOS file browser after recording.

“Video recorder” settings

To access the “Video recorder” settings screen, select the “Settings” menu item:

- “Auto Stop Rec”: the duration of time after which the ARCHOS will automatically stop re- cording. If you disable this function, the recording will continue until you press or until the entire hard drive fills up.

-“Rename”: allows you to define the filename before the recording begins, using the remote control’s keyboard.

-“Source”: you can choose which video input (“Auto”/“Composite”/“S-Video”/“Scart”/ “Component”/“RGB”) you want the ARCHOS to use. Normally, with a good video signal, you can set it to “Auto” and your ARCHOS will scan its inputs to see which one is receiving video.

-“Format”: “Auto”/“4:3”/“5:3”/“16:9”/“2.35”. This is the aspect ratio of the screen that the ARCHOS device will record. You can set this manually, but in most cases you can just leave it on “Auto”.

-“Widescreen”: “Auto”/“On”/“Off”. If your tuner (cable box, satellite receiver, etc.) outputs a video signal in widescreen, you can force the ARCHOS to recognize this signal. This should be set to “On” if recordings show people that look unusually tall and thin. But in most cases you can just leave it on “Auto”.
