I have my cradle connected directly to the TV A/V input and output. DVD player connected to TV via RCA and cable connected to TV via the antenna.

I can record TV programs and DVDs real time, have not tried schedule recording. Ark19 may have some experience with schedule recording, if he has sorted out his problem.

No configuration at all. It was just plug n play for me. Everything on default on the AV420.

Output of DVD to TV A/V1 input.

Cradle cable marked as AV in connected to A/V out of TV
Cradle cable marked as AV out connected to A/V2 in of TV

Everything that is viewed on TV screen can be recorded on the unit.

I think u might want to check the manual book for you TV....Video 3 is for playing game & viewing photos from your digicam / videcam...etc...u should plug it into the VCR video.

Bro, the schedule prob is not solved. They don't have my TV model's IR code. Anyways, thinking of getting a 2nd hand vcr to output signal to archos.

The connection quite straight forward.
The only prob is when u connect to TV, you'll be recording whatever channel you are currently viewing. And if u sw off the tv, archos will display "no signals". So, the best way to record is to connect archos to VCR. You can watch a diff channel while recording another....

With a VCR, u can attach the IR emitter and schedule recordings.
If it works, when the time is up for recording, archos will sw on VCR, change to correct channel and record
That is..... if it works :sweat:
Kindof pointless... as I bought archos as a recorder.
Now I have to buy a vcr just to enable archos to record??

I'm using the Martin Field screen protector from DOML, fits well and very clear.

If I'm not wrong Ark19 and Nisa is also using it.

No prob bro Only thing is the 3 pin part must be removed for a better fit.
Did you get the panasonic earphones from W3cube? :think:

Hi Auron, yup, we've got the Martin Field screen protector.
I'd actually went back to memory world to change my Archos due to bright pixels. Had to remove the screen protector and paste it onto my new Archos unit.
It is really easy to stick on. Just try to do it in a "clean room". I'd to restick it a couple of times. :sweat: The trick is to stick it on, check for dust/lint, remove slightly and use Scotch tape to remove the dust/lint.
