4.3. COnfiguring The TV COnTrOl seTTings
When you select a TV program recording from the grid of programs, the DVR Station must be able to tell your TV
tuner what channel to change to. This is done by having your DVR Station act like your tuner’s remote control and
change the channel. Because of this, a one time
TV Control
setup must be done if you want the DVR Station to
select the right channel to record.
Your ARCHOS needs to be connected to the DVR Station. You also need to have connected your tuner to the DVR
Station (see:
Diagram

on the Connection Guide sheet).
From the ARCHOS Home Screen, select “
Tools
”,
“
Settings
”, and then choose “
TV Control
” to display
the “
TV Control
” settings screen.
This settings screen allows you to set the DVR
Station’s infrared emitter (channel changing abili-
ties) as well as configure the channel list.
