[. . . ] Connect the three colored AV OUT cables to the SCART IN block and then plug that into your television. If connecting to the front of your television, simply plug the colored AV OUT cables directly into those front jacks. TEST IT: Test now to see if you made the correct connections. · · · · · · With the device in the cradle, play one of the sample video files. Hold down on the TV/LCD buttonfor 3 seconds (Switch to external video). If not, switch your television to auxiliary input (often called L1 or L2 just below channel 1) Europe: If you don't see the video, check to make sure you used the SCART IN block. 9 2. 5 Connection : the audio-visual input (AV In) If you want to be able to record from your television or another video device into your Archos AV device, you will have to send the video and audio signals into it. North America: You will most likely get your video and audio signals from your Cable box, Satellite receiver box, or VCR (newer large screen TVs often have video and audio outputs on the back that can also be used). Connect the AV IN cable's yellow connector to the yellow Video Out jack on your cable box, satellite box, or VCR, or TV. Now connect the Red and White cables to the cable box, satellite box, VCR, or TV's Red and White Audio Out jacks. What ever is going out of the cable box, satellite box, or VCR to your television, is now also going to your AV400 device. Europe: If your cable box, video cassette recorder, or satellite receiver has audio-visual outputs (red, white, yellow), then plug the three AV IN cables into those connections. If your cable box, video cassette recorder, or satellite receiver has an extra SCART output, then connect the TV Cradle's red, white, and yellow AV IN cables into the included OUT SCART block (Attention: the IN and OUT SCART connectors look very similar) and then plug it into your device's extra SCART output. If you have neither the audio-visual outputs nor an extra SCART output, see the next section. TEST IT: Verify that you made the correct connections · Turn on your cable box, satellite box, or video cassette recorder (VCR). · The pre-recording screen should now show the same image on the built-in screen. · Press the ON/ENTER button to record what is showing on the screen (or use the Archos remote control). · North America: If you do not see an image (or see the message `No Signal'), check that you connected the yellow cable of the AV IN to the video output of your cable box, satellite receiver, or VCR. · Europe: If you are using a SCART output on your video cassette recorder and you do not see the image on the Archos device's screen (or you see the message `No Signal'), check the manual of your video cassette recorder to make sure that the SCART connection that you plugged into is capable of video and audio output, not just input. 10 2. 6 Europe only: What if there is no Video Out Connection? In the case that you do not have a second video out SCART or RCA type outputs on your video cassette recorder, you can obtain a 2 -1 SCART switch box from an electronics retailer or the store where you bought your Archos product, which will allow you to send the Video Cassette Recorder's video and audio signals to your television (normal TV viewing) or to your Archos TV cradle (to make a recording). In the following example set up, you would switch the box to side b when you want to make a video recording. Attention: Do not purchase a simple splitter but rather a switchable a/b box. Splitting the video signal will degrade its quality. 11 2. 7 Connection : the S-Video In If you would like to get a higher quality video recording, and your video recorder, cable box or other video device has an S-video output, you can connect the S-video cable of your TV cradle into it. This will carry only the video signal to the TV Cradle and your AV400/PMA400, not the audio. DO NOT PLUG IN BOTH THE S-VIDEO CONNECTOR AND THE STANDARD YELLOW AV IN CONNECTOR AT THE SAME TIME. TEST IT: You can test this connection the same way you test the AV In connection above. 2. 8 Connection : the Infrared Emitter Infrared (IR) Emitter This is an optional connection. You will need to use this if you would like to change TV channels with the Archos remote control or if want to be able to make scheduled recordings.
