Watching Regular TV
To just watch TV normally, (whether your ARCHOS is plugged into the DVR Station
or not), you will select a specific channel on your television that will show what the
tuner (cablebox, digital TV receiver, etc.) is tuned to. The information that came
with your tuner (cablebox, Digital TV receiver, etc.) should specify which channel
you must set your television to. You will change the station you are viewing by
using your Tuner’s (cablebox, Digital TV receiver, ect.) remote control.
Playing your ARCHOS to the TV
If you want your ARCHOS to play out to your TV, press the TV button of your
ARCHOS remote control. Normally, the TV will be notified by the DVR Station that
it is sending a video signal to the TV and the TV will switch its input from your tuner
to the scart input on the back of your television (the one that the ARCHOS is
connected to) and display your ARCHOS on your TV. If it does not switch
automatically to your ARCHOS, then you must command your television to display
from the input that the DVR Station is connected to. Usually there is a button on
the TV or the TV’s remote control labeled ‘input’ that will allow you to change which
input is being shown on the television. (in this example, you would switch to
Ext
[external]). If you do not see the image of the ARCHOS on the TV when you press
the ARCHOS remote control’s TV button (the ARCHOS screen will go to black at
this time), check that your video output settings are correct for your region. (Your
ARCHOS must be inserted into the DVR Station for the
TV out
settings to be
available.)
