Copy Protection

The ARCHOS’s recording system is designed to respect the Macrovision copy- right protection system.

If the source of your video is copy-protected, the device will record in protected mode.

You will see a ‘P’ icon on the recording screen (not during playback), indicating that the file will be a protected file.

Protected files can only be played back on the ARCHOSdevice that created them, and not on a computer.

The playback of protected files is also limited to the built-in LCD screen and can- not be displayed on an external television.

1.From the Home screen, highlight the Scheduler icon and press OK.

2.Select the line you want to edit using /, then press to start editing.

3.Set each line to the desired date, time (and channel if you are using the infrared emitter to control a VCR, cable box or satellite receiver).

4.Select the Edit program title menu item to define a title for your sched- uled recording, (see Using the Virtual Keyboard).

5.Select the ‘validate selected program’ menu item to save the changes for this program, then select the save all programs menu item to save all your scheduled recordings.

6.Do not turn off the ARCHOSdevice! Make sure the ARCHOSis in stand- by mode at the scheduled time for the recording (connected to the DVR station or to the DVR Travel Adapter and a wall outlet).

Notes about the scheduler

The scheduler automatically reorganizes the recording events chronologically,

In order for a scheduled recording to start, you must leave the ARCHOSdevice on the main menu screen or leave it in stand-by mode. If you are listening to mu- sic, watching a video or looking at photos with the device, it will not interrupt you to make the scheduled recording.

If you use the IR emitter to change channels on a VCR, satellite or cable box (see The Infrared Emitter), note that this external device must be left ON, and not in sleep mode.

When the Archosuser interface is set to English, the date format is set to Month/Day.
