User manual ARCHOS DVR STATION GEN4

[. . . ] The Archos DVR Station allows you to record video from most any standard video source. By placing the DVR Station next to your television, you have a simple way to connect and disconnect your Archos device simply by placing it into the station. [. . . ] Finally, make sure that you always match the color of the connector with the color of the jack it is being plugged into. Take the plastic DVR Saddle that came with your Archos product and insert it as shown below. This will allow your Archos device to correctly adapt to the DVR Station. Do not use the DVR Station without the saddle as this could easily damage the connectors. Connect the AC charger/adapter into the jack labeled DC-in on the back of the DVR Station and then plug it into an available wall socket. Use only the supplied Archos AC charger/adapter as other adapters may damage this device (even if they give the same voltage rating). Most home television systems can be diagrammed similarly to the main diagram below. If you do not have an external tuner (satellite receiver, digital TV adapter, cable box, video cassette recorder), that is, you have just a television, see the diagrams in the right boxes. Once the audio and video cables are connected, and the AC adapter/charger is connected, your television system should act as usual because the DVR Station is a pass-through device. Once you press the LCD/TV button on your Archos device(1) (or the TV button on the Archos remote control) the DVR Station will stop passing through the normal TV signals to the television and send sound and images from your Archos device. [. . . ] (3) In order to record from your television, its scart connector must have audio-video outputs. Check your television manual to verify which of the scart connectors, if any, has the audio and video outputs. [. . . ]
