Resume Function

When you turn on your AV 700 you may notice that the icon which is highlighted on the main screen is not the Video icon but rather the Resume icon. This icon is highlighted when the AV 700 can resume the last played audio or video le.
VIDEO Playing Video Files from the Internet
When using Windows Media Player 10, you will have the advantage of being able to download protected video content from the Internet. When you see the PlaysForSure symbol on a web site for Windows Portable Media Center (PMC)*, then these protected downloads will be playable on your AV 700.
4.1 Protected Internet Video content
If you check the PlaysForSure website (www.playsforsure.com) you will nd web retailers who offer rental, subscription, or purchasable video content. Remember, web sites must carry the PlaysForSure symbol in order for their videos to play on the AV 700.
Non Protected Internet Video Content
The AV 700 plays.AVI les that are encoded in MPEG-4 format. It can play such video les at a maximum size of 720 x 576 pixels (25 frames/second). It can also play.WMV les (WMV9 SP) up to a maximum size of 352 x 288**. The AV 700 will not directly play les of type.mov,.mpg, or.mpeg. The number of encoding and compression schemes currently used to create video les is very extensive and seems to change on a weekly basis. There are so many standards and formats that it is very possible that the video le you download from the Internet will not play right away on your device. Due to certain variations, even when video les are formatted in MPEG-4 they may not play right away. If you have some video les that do not play directly on your AV 700, they will have to be converted rst. Windows Media Player 10 (Available only for Windows XP) will convert your video le automatically when you sync the le that is on your PC to the AV 700. It will display a little message converting.
* MPEG-4: ISO standard by Moving Picture Experts Group ; AVI: audio/video le container by Microsoft. MPEG4 SP with B-frames AVI up to 704x480@30f/s NTSC or 720x576@25f/s PAL. ** Microsoft WMV9 SP up to 352x288@30f/s and 800 kb/s ; supports WM DRM.
You can also use the software MPEG-4 Translator included on the AV 700 hard drive to re-encode your video les into the proper MPEG-4 SP format that the AV 700 can play. See the chapter Video creating MPEG-4 video les with your computer for more details.

Your tuner may be your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver.
7.1 Part 1: Choose your Device and Brand
Select the Settings action icon and click on the TV Control icon. 1. Select the type of device that you will stick your IR Emitter to. You have the choice of either a VCR (video cassette recorder), Cable Box, or Satellite Receiver. 2. Select the brand of your device. 3. Click on Tune IR Emitter button. 4. The TV Channels button allows you to give names to each channel. For example, if channel 6 is CNN where you live, then you can give channel 6 that name in this screen. Or, if you use the My Yahoo! personal calendar to set your recording scheduler, the AV 700 will allow you to assign a channel number to a station name given from your scheduled TV programs. (see the chapter Automated Yahoo! TV Recording Scheduler for details).
Part 2: Finding the Right Emitter Codes
This screen allows you to correctly set the codes and parameters to allow the Infrared emitter to correctly control your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver). 1. Tune device code (one code available): Some manufacturers use only one code for all of their products. The code does not change from one model to another or from one year to another. In this case, there will only be one single code available. You can now test the channel select. 2. Tune device code (multiple codes available): Some makers of video equipment dont use the same set of control codes for all of their products. They have various code sets for various models and various years. You will have to try each of the codes to nd
out which code works with your device. In the example screen, you see the code V009. If this code does not work when doing the Test: channel select, advance it to the next code and then test to see if that next code works. 3. Test channel select: When you press the Test channel select button (highlight test channel select and press ENTER), the AV 700 will send a signal through the docking pod to the infrared emitter and change the channel on your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver). If the Number of digits parameter is set to three, it will try to select channel 123. If that parameter is set to 2, it will send the code for channel 12. If your tuner does not change channels when you click on this test button, try the next code for your device (step 2 above). 4. Test ON/OFF: When you click on the Test On/Off button, the AV 700 will send a signal to the infrared emitter and turn your device on or off. Click this test button again and your device should change from on to off or off to on. If pressing this button does not turn your device on or off, try the next code for your device (step 2 above). If none of the codes work, check that the infrared emitter is stuck directly over the infrared sensor on your tuner device. Note: In some rare cases the ON/OFF functionality may not work. 5. Tune channel select: These four parameters usually do not need to be set. Keep the default values to start with. See the table below for an explanation of each.

MP3 Sound Codec If MPEG-4 Translator detects a suitable MP3 codec on your PC, it will use it, and your video le sound track will be MP3. Otherwise, it will use the standard IMA ADPCM codec. There are MP3 encoders (usually packaged together as an encoder and decoder) available on the Web for you to download. If you choose to use the LAME codec, make sure that you have a version built with the ACM front-end. You can nd other MP3 codecs on the web by using the search terms ACM, MP3 and CODEC in your favorite web search engine. Once this MP3 codec is installed into your system, MPEG-4 Translator will be able to create nal video les with MP3 sound, even if the source video le does not have an MP3 sound track. If you are unsure what codecs (audio and/or video) have been installed on your computer, you can see the list by going to the following location.
For Windows XP, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices Properties > Hardware, choose Audio Codecs, then click on Properties. You will nd a list here of all the audio codecs that are installed on your computer. Decoding of MPEG 2 video les is currently not supported by MPEG-4 Translator. These are usually.mpg or.mpeg format les, not the required AVI le. There are other tools found on the Internet (FlaskMPEG, Rippack, etc.) that may be downloaded in order to help you with these le types. A good starting place is the website www.digital-digest.com.
9.2 Using MPEG-4 Translator
Here you see the image of the main MPEG-4 Translator program. When you rst run the program, if the required codec has not been installed yet. You should download the codec and install it on your computer. If the Virtual dub program has not been installed, you will also be notied, and you should install it (either with the ARCHOS Installation Utility or the Virtual Dub website). If you have placed the Virtual Dub program in a folder other than the installer default folder, it will ask you to locate the le. Select Source & Destination Files In this example, a source le 24 hours of Lemans.avi has been selected as the source video. You can see on the bottom of the window its original characteristics (width 720, height 576, frame rate 30). Next, you must then tell the program where to place (Set Destination le) the newly recoded version of the le (dont worry, it will not erase the original). You should give it a new descriptive name, such as shown above Lemans_AV 700.avi. Make sure you add the.avi extension.
Change Settings Next, you can change the parameters (Change Settings) of the encoder to adjust the level of quality of the nal image. Like MP3 music, the higher the bit rate setting is made, the higher the quality of the music, or video in this case, that you will get. However, this will also take up more space on your hard drive. A setting of 900 kbps will give you a nice looking image for viewing on a television. For near DVD quality, you can set it up to 1200 kbps.

12.1 Playing a Playlist

To play a Playlist, you simply scroll to the Playlist, such as Sample Playlist shown to the left, and click on PLAY. The list of songs will be loaded into the internal memory of the AV 700 and then be displayed in a separate panel. Click on PLAY and the songs will be played in the order shown. To shufe the music entries in a random order, you can click on the Manage Playlist action icon, then choose Shufe. If you delete a Playlist from your AV 700, you are only deleting the list and not the music itself.

12.2 Creating a Playlist

To create a Playlist, select the Open Playlist panel action icon while you are in the Music browser. A second panel will open on the right side to display the Playlist contents. You can now start adding songs to the current Playlist. In the left panel, locate the songs you would like to add to your Playlist. Once the song is highlighted, click on the RIGHT or ENTER button or select the Add to Playlist action icon to add it to the Playlist. The song will be added to the Playlist and a small mark next to the music icon will be made to indicate that it is in the Playlist. Continue searching and adding songs in this manner until you are satised. You can select the Add or Insert action buttons
when highlighting a folder, artist, or album. All the contents of the folder, artist, or album will be added (that is, appended) or inserted before the selected song in the current Playlist. You can jump back and forth between the browser and the Playlist by selecting the Focus buttons. A Playlist can have a maximum of 5000 songs. We recommend that you save your Playlists.

12.3 Saving a Playlist

It is recommended that each time you create a Playlist, you save it to a separate folder called Playlists. These lists take very little space on your hard drive and if well named, give you easy access to your favorite songs. Go to the Playlist by selecting Music from the main menu and then select the Open Playlist panel action icon. You will then see the list of songs in the current Playlist. Use the action button to focus on the right panel, then select the Manage Playlists action icon, and select Save. ATTENTION: Make sure that your left panel is the Playlists folder because the open panel on the left is the location the AV 700 will be saving your Playlist to. Save Close Rename Clear Shufe Saves the current playlist to the folder open in the left panel. The * after the Playlist name indicates that this playlist has not been saved. Clears the Playlist and closes the Playlist panel. Renames the current playlist. Clears the contents of the current playlist. Randomly shufes the order of the songs in the current playlist.

To keep just this section (cropping it), you will: Locate this le via Browse hard disk in the Music application. From the action icons, select the File Management action icon and then select Edit. In the edit mode, set the Cut In point (12:15 in our example). This will remove the part of the le BEFORE the desired segment. Now set a Cut Out point (21:05 in our example. Please note: As you have cut part of the le, this position will actually be earlier in the le now).
Validate and Save the edit. The le will be saved with the word edit appended to the le name in the same folder as the original. If you do not want to save your modications, click the STOP/ESC button and select OK. Highlight the le to edit and select the File Management action icon. Choose Edit. Only les which have been created with the AV 700 recording function will show Edit in the le menu. Files created from CDs or downloaded cannot be edited. Once you enter the edit mode, the audio le will play in a continuous loop so that you will be able to hear the changes to the edit as you make them.
Use the fast-reverse and fast-forward buttons (LEFT/RIGHT buttons) to locate the points you want the new le to start and end. These are the Cut In and Cut Out points. Once you have set these points, you can save the edit. In this example, a new le REC0001_Edit will be made. Your original le is left untouched. You will notice that your Cut In and Cut Out times are marked just below the le name.
MUSIC Using iTunes with your AV 700
The easiest way to transfer music les between a Macintosh computer and your AV 700 is to use the Macintosh Finder to drag and drop the les to and from your Macintosh. However, for Macintosh users who do want to use the AV 700 with iTunes, ARCHOS has developed a special i-Tunes plug-in. You will nd it in the folder /Data/i-Tunes Plug-in on the AV 700 hard drive or at the ARCHOS website. In this folder you will nd a plug-in for Mac OS 9.x and another folder for Mac OS 10.x. You will also nd a JPEG image illustrating where you need to copy the plug-in to. Once this is done, iTunes will recognize the AV 700 as a Device. Please keep in mind the following: Attention Your AV 700 needs to be set to Hard drive mode (see the section System Settings in the Settings chapter or the chapter Connecting/Disconnecting the AV 700 to/from your PC on how to do this.) 1) Music purchased at Apples on-line music store are copy protected with a proprietary encryption system. The ARCHOS device will not be able to play this purchased music or les in ACC format which you might have created. It will happily play MP3 format les without problem. 2) When you create your Playlists with iTunes (you can only create Playlists from songs that have been copied to your AV 700), your Macintosh will save these Playlists to the root directory of your AV 700. It will not save them to the AV 700 Playlists directory. It would be best to use the AV 700 itself to make Playlists and then save these Playlists in your Playlists folder. (See section Creating a Playlist in chapter Music Playlists) 3) When you drag and drop MP3 les from your iTunes library to your AV 700, the i-Tunes program will look at the ID3 tag information of the MP3 le, and create a folder on the root of your AV 700 using the name of the Artist as the folder name. Then it will take the Album name ID3 tag, and create a subfolder with that album as its name. Finally, it will take the MP3 song itself and place it into that album subfolder. Thus, although it is a clean structure of artists and albums, i-Tunes does not follow the AV 700 convention of placing the music into the Music folder rst.

Troubleshooting
26.1 USB Connection issues
Problem: I cannot get my AV 700 to be recognized by the computer or it asks for a driver. If you are running an operating system other than Windows XP (Service Pack 1 minimum) with Windows Media Player 10 or higher, the USB Port setting should be set to Hard Drive. Go to Setup > System > USB Port and set it to Hard Drive. Only Windows XP (Service Pack 1 or higher) with Windows Media Player 10 or higher will allow for the USB Port Windows Device setting. Shut off and reboot the computer and the AV 700 and then try connecting again in the preferred order mentioned in the chapter Connecting/Disconnecting the AV 700 to/from your PC. If using a USB hub, try connecting without using the hub (some hubs are not powered and may not work with the AV 700). If using a USB port in the front of your computer, try a USB port in the back. Front USB ports are often from non-powered hubs. Do not connect to a USB port repeated through a keyboard. If using a laptop computer and a docking station, try connecting without the docking station. Macintosh users must update to OS 10.2.4 or higher. (Hard Drive mode) If the Files Allocation Table (FAT) gets corrupted, the AV 700 may not show up in Windows XP for over one minute, and then it comes up as local drive. Use DOS Utility ChkDsk as shown below. (Hard Drive Mode) Windows XP may recognize the AV 700 hard drive but yet not assign a drive letter to it. Right click on My Computer and select Manage. Then select Storage, then Disk Management. Within this window you may see the hard drive and be able to assign a drive letter by right-clicking on the hard drive, and selecting the option Change drive letter and paths
Problem: (Hard Drive mode) What do I do if I try to disconnect via the green arrow but keep getting The device Generic Volume cannot be stopped now. Try stopping the device again later. Answer: Shut off any program that might be accessing data on the AV 700, including Windows Explorer.
