7.6 System
Settings
The System settings allow you control over the low level parameters.
The list below explains each of the settings.
Parameter
Description
Show all files
Off
(default),
On
. If Off, the Jukebox will only display the file names of
file types, with their corresponding icons, that it knows how to play. If set
to On, the Jukebox will display the names of ALL the files on the hard
drive (using a ? icon for unknown types), even if they cannot be viewed or
played, such as .tif or .pdf for example. This setting is important when the
Jukebox is used with the memory card reader add-ons. Setting it to ON will
allow the Jukebox to transfer all the files from the card media regardless of
file type. If set to OFF, it will only read file types that the AV300 is
capable of playing.
Middle Joystick
Off
(default),
On
. When set to
On
, pressing straight down on the joystick
while it is in the center position will give the same results as pressing the
ENTER/GO
!
button.
DSP Frequency
Standard
,
Overclock
(yellow),
Overclock
(red). This setting controls the
speed of the internal Digital Signal Processor which displays video images.
The Standard frequency is fine for most all applications and is guaranteed
to be a stable operating environment. If you have a large video image
640x368 or larger for example, increasing the DSP speed to overclock
yellow or overclock red could increase the smoothness of the playback and
help reduce any visual compression artifacts. Overclocking, as with PCs in
general, is not guaranteed to always work and could in some instances
hang a video or overheat the DSP and force a thermal power off condition.
The majority of users need only to use the Standard setting.

Updating the AV300 Firmware Operating System (OS)
Archos periodically updates the Operating System (OS) and makes it available for free download
on the ARCHOS web site (www.archos.com). Updates to the Operating System include new
features, feature improvements, and bug fixes. You should check to make sure that you are
running the most recent version of the OS. Each time the AV300 starts up, the OS version is
displayed on the screen (example: OS Version 1.1) on the bottom right. You will find the most
recent version of the OS and its version number at our web site under the category Software.
