Connect & Test Method
Even if connecting audio-visual equipment is not your strong suit, by following our instructions and applying
our Connect & Test method, you will be able to verify your connections as you go along, and not after you
have hooked up everything and it doesn’t work as expected. Refer to the connection diagrams in the back of
this manual while reading through each section.
The key to a successful installation of your TV Cradle is to make each connection then test it. If the test
works, that’s great, then go on to the next step. If it doesn’t work, then there is no sense in connecting
more wires and making your situation more complicated. Just go back and see if you can determine why the

previous step didn’t work. The TEST IT section for each connection is there for you to verify that it works as
explained before going on to the next step. By connecting and testing as you go along, you have a better
chance of doing everything correctly the fi rst time.
2.2
Connection
: the Multi-connect Plug
Set the TV Cradle on a fl at and stable surface near enough to your television system so that
the cables can reach around to the back of your devices. Before placing your AV device into
the cradle, you can rotate the top dark rotating mount so that your device sits at a 90 degree
or 60 degree angle. Now, slide your AV device into the cradle from the top downward (do not
slide it in from the right or left). Try to put your device in the center as shown in the picture at
the start of this chapter. Now push the multi-connect plug into the AV device until it is solidly
touching the body of your Archos AV device.
2.3
Connection
: the Adapter/Charger
To power the TV Cradle and your AV device, plug the Archos adapter/charger into a
wall outlet and the other end into the left most jack (labeled DC IN) on the back of the
TV cradle. You should see the green charging light on the AV device turn on, indicating
that power has been connected.
TEST IT
: Verify that you made the correct connections.
• With your Archos AV in the cradle, turn it on*.
• Point your remote control (don’t forget to put the batteries in) at the cradle.
• While pointing at the TV Cradle, press the UP or DOWN buttons on the remote control.
• If the Archos AV responds to your remote control commands, this verifi es a correct connection.
*
On the AV400, press and hold the enter button on the AV400 itself. After this point the remote control’s Standby / Wake
Up button will work normally.
