Close the screen

“VIdEo RECoRdER” SETTINGS
To access the “
Video recorder
” settings screen, select the “
Settings
” menu item:
“Auto Stop Rec”:
the duration of time after which the ARCHOS will automatically stop re-
cording. If you disable this function, the recording will continue until you press or until the
entire hard drive fills up.
“Rename”:
allows you to define the filename before the recording begins, using the remote
control’s keyboard.
“Source”:
you can choose which video input (“
Auto
”/“
Composite
”/“
S-Video
”/“
Scart
”/
“
Component
”/“
RGB
”) you want the ARCHOS to use. Normally, with a good video signal,
you can set it to “
Auto
” and your ARCHOS will scan its inputs to see which one is receiving
video.
“Format”:
“
Auto
”/“
4:3
”/“
5:3
”/“
16:9
”/“
2.35
”. This is the aspect ratio of the screen that the
ARCHOS device will record. You can set this manually, but in most cases you can just leave it
on “
Auto
”.
“Widescreen”:
“
Auto
”/“
On
”/“
Off
”. If your tuner (cable box, satellite receiver, etc.) outputs a
video signal in widescreen, you can force the ARCHOS to recognize this signal. This should be
set to “
On
” if recordings show people that look unusually tall and thin. But in most cases you
can just leave it on “
Auto
”.
