Connection Diagram for North America: *

*North America: If your TV does not have an S-video input connector, use a standard male/male RCA cable (on the yellow video jack) instead of the sup- plied S-video cable.

1.Connect the ARCHOS’ outputs to your TV’s inputs as shown above. If you have an HDMI cable, you can connect it now.

2.Connect the included power adapter to the jack labeled DC-IN on the back of the

ARCHOS.

3.Then plug the other end of the power adapter into an available wall socket.

The first time you connect the power adapter, the ARCHOS will start automati- cally. The red LED indicator will start blinking while the device is starting. When the ARCHOS is on, the green LED will light up.

Use only the supplied ARCHOS power adapter as other adapters may damage this device (even if they give the same voltage rating).

4.Make sure that your TV is switched to the AV input which the ARCHOS is con- nected to (on the back of the TV).

5.Once the ARCHOS turns on (green light), your device will cycle between three different video output modes in order for you to select the correct one. Wait until you see an image in color on your TV (this may take up to 30 seconds), and press

OK on the remote control.

6.Then follow the on-screen instructions (Installation Wizard) to finish installing the

ARCHOS.
