If the remote does not seem to work at first, try changing the code to either 0, 1 or 2. For AV300: Setup > System > Remote Control For JBM 20 & AV 100 series: Setup > Settings > Remote Control If you would like to make a video recording for a future date or time, you can use the timer function. You can find it by going to VideoCorder > Settings > Set Timer. You can program up to five different recordings. Once you program your dates and times of recording, you MUST leave the device in the pre-record state. Otherwise, it will not make the timer recording.

Select Set timer. Set each line to the desired date and time and then click on Set. Leave the Archos unit in the pre-record screen. Timer icon indicates timers are set. The remote control works like the buttons on your Jukebox Multimedia or AV300 product. Each button of the remote control correlates to a button on the device as shown below. Three timers being programmed Notes about setting the timers. * Timers after first recording finished 1. If the end time is earlier than the start time, then it is assumed that you start recording on the start date, and the recording ends on the following day at the end time. For example, the third programmed timer in the screenshot above will start recording on the 5th day of the month, and end on the 6th day of the month. 2. If you are using the Archos unit on the day of a timer setting and go to the pre-record screen after the start time of one of the timers, it will start recording if you are still within the recording time window. It will erase each of the programmed timers if you arrive at the prerecording screen after the End time of any of your timer settings. * The ON button on the remote control is used for selection. It will not turn on a device which is off. 15 16 3. If a timer is set for a date that is earlier than the current month's date, then the timer assumes that the date is for the following month. For example, if the current date is April 16, then the first timer in the screen shot above will record on May 11 from 2pm to 4pm. The second timer will record on April 18 from 4pm to April 19 at 2am (an extremely long recording to be sure). 7 Troubleshooting · · Make sure that you click on the Set button in order to set the timers. The pencil icon in each box will turn into a green check mark indicating that the timer has been set. Once a timer recording has been made, or the date of a recording has been passed, without the recording having been made (the Archos unit was not turned on or was not in pre-record mode), the timed program will be erased from the timer screen and replaced with a red X. Problem: Sometimes I see a recorded video make small jumps or skips while playing. It does not happen at the same place all the time. Solution: This could be due to the differences between the NTSC and PAL television systems which have 30 frames per second and 25 frames per second respectively. Make sure that your Jukebox Multimedia or Archos AV is set to the same video output standard as the recording was made. Go to Setup then Display, and change the TV standard to the standard system of your country. Problem: I can't get my DVR to record. Solution: Did you... Plug in the DVR when the Archos Device was off? Make sure you have a video signal connected to the video-in of the DVR? Try resetting the setup parameters to the default settings as shown in sections 2, 3 and 4? Make sure your AV300 or Jukebox device is powered via the included AC Adapter? Problem: I get a message "Wrong module" on the screen. Solution: The Jukebox Multimedia is not recognizing the DVR. It may have been improperly connected to the Jukebox Multimedia or it may actually be another DVR module compatible with a different Archos Product. Shut off the Jukebox Multimedia, disconnect the DVR, then carefully reconnect it. Turn on the Jukebox Multimedia to see if this fixes the problem. Problem: When I go to Video Corder the screen says "No input Signal" Solution: The DVR does not recognize any input video signal. Try changing the setting Source from Auto to either composite or S-video. Plug your cable into a television to be sure that you really do have a video signal coming from the cable. Problem: The remote control doesn't work. Solution: 1) Make sure you are aiming it at the correct face of the DVR infrared receptor. 2) make sure you are closer than 3 meters (10 feet). 3) Make sure your Archos Device has the correctly selected remote control code (see section 5.1 above). 4) Make sure the batteries are still good. Problem: Sometimes after about 2 or more hours or recording, the recording stops and a new one starts. Solution: This is due to a limitation of file sizes for the Windows® file system that is used on Archos devices. This File Allocation Table (FAT) system can have a maximum file size of 2GB. Recordings that go over 2 hours can go over this limit. It depends on type of program being recorded and the quality settings. A second file will automatically start up to continue the recording. Thus a 3 hour video might be composed of VID0000.avi of 2 hours and 10 minutes and VID0001.avi of 50 minutes. To avoid this, you can reduce the bitrate setting which will create smaller sized files. · Long recording times (2 hours and more) can create files that are greater than 2GB each. The DVR will create multiple files in order to make long recordings. Thus a long timer program may produce video files called VID0000, VID0001, and VID0002. This is only in the case of recordings that are over 2GB in size. · When you set the timer programs that you have entered, the Archos device will create a text file on the root of the hard disk called DVRTimer.txt. You should not erase this file. 17 18 8 · Technical Support If technical support determines that your product needs to be returned, please contact the place of purchase to have your product repaired or replaced (depending on problem type).
