Watching Regular TV
T o 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.)

Watching Regular TV
To just watch television, (whether your ARCHOS is plugged into the DVR Station
or not), you will select input AV1 on your television (the scart you have connected
your tuner to) and you will change the station you are viewing by using your Tuner’s
(Cablebox, Satellite Dish, ect.) remote control. There should be no difference from
how you watched TV before and after you installed the DVR Station.
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 from the AV1 input
(your tuner) to the correct input AV2 (your ARCHOS) and display your ARCHOS
on the 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’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 input AV 2). 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
