TV Recording Scheduler
TV Recording Scheduler
For those who have a
My Yahoo!
®
account and use the calendar feature, the AV 700 can read the TV programs
scheduled into your personal calendar and transmit these to your AV 700 to be included in the AV 700 scheduler.
This way, you do not have to input all your scheduled recordings manually. You can sign up for an account and
learn how to use the
My Yahoo!
®
TV and calendar functions at the Yahoo!
®
Website (www.yahoo.com).
Please note
: Using the scheduler is particularly useful when you have the TV docking pod and
you have set up the Infrared connector. Otherwise, the AV 700 will be unable to change channels
on your tuner. It will record the currently selected channel. Furthermore, the AV 700 needs to be
powered by a charger in order to go into standby mode rather than switch off completely.
You must do the following:
1. Connect your AV 700 to your computer.
2. Go to your personal Yahoo!
®
calendar which has your TV programs scheduled.
3. Choose the
Week
view – starting with the current day as the beginning of the week.
4. Click on
Printable View
to show a cleaner printable version.
5. From your browser menu click on
File
>
Save As
… to save the
fi
le.
6. Do not change the
File Name
, but do change the
Save as Type
to
Web page
, html only. Now save the
fi
le to
the folder
System
on your AV 700.
7. Once you disconnect the AV 700 from your computer, the AV 700 will automatically update its scheduler with
the newly saved TV programs from your My Yahoo!
®
calendar. If the AV 700 encounters a television station
name that it does not know the channel number for (was never set), it will indicate so, and direct you to go to
the scheduler to manually assign a channel to the station name.

Notes:
• If the TV programs from your personal calendar do not seem to be correctly copied to the AV 700 scheduler, go to
the ARCHOS
™
web site to make sure that have the very latest version of the AV 700
fi
rmware. Update your
fi
rmware
(Operating System) as explained in the chapter
Updating the AV 700
fi
rmware Operating System.
• If you change your Yahoo!
®
personal calendar by deleting some TV programs and adding new ones, only the
new programs will be added to the AV 700 scheduler when you save the html
fi
le to the AV 700. If you want to
delete scheduled items, you must do this in the AV 700 scheduler itself.
• Missed recordings (because you did not have the AV 700 connected to the docking pod at the record time) will
be deleted from the scheduler.
• If a personal calendar recording event does not
fi
nd 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. Move
the cursor to the line containing the ?, and click on the action icon “Set Channel”. 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.
The AV 700 will keep the station name and its channel number.
