If a personal calendar recording event does not find the station name in your list of channels, it will put the
event into the scheduler and mark it with a
?
, indicating that you must assign a channel number to the
name. Tap on the line containing the
?
and select the
Set Channel
menu item. You can now scroll through
the channel numbers and assign a number to the station name for that event. You only have to do this once.
Your ARCHOS device will keep the station name and its channel number.
9.5 The Infrared eMITTer
Infrared eMITTer
The DVR Station has a high-powered infrared LED at the front. It
allows your ARCHOS device to communicate with your tuner (VCR,
cable or satellite box), so that it can turn it on and off, and change
channels on it.
This is a one time step to set your ARCHOS device to send the cor-
rect infrared codes to control your tuner. If you do not plan on mak-
ing scheduled recordings, then you do not need to set the infrared
emitter code.
Before beginning this procedure of setting the emitter code, your
device must be connected to the DVR Station, which must be pow-
ered with the charger/adapter.

The infrared control works through the reflec
-
tion of the infrared signal within a room.
In order to improve the reception of this infra-
red signal on your tuner (VCR, cable or satellite
box), you could rearrange the position of the
DVR Station and/or the tuner such that there
are more reflective surfaces (furniture, a wall,
etc. - see diagram).
Good communication between the DVR Station
and your tuner also depends on the sensitivity
of your tuner’s IR receiver.
