PUTTING MUSIC AND PHOTOS ONTO YOUR ARCHOS
You can transfer your media files to the ARCHOS either by copy/pasting them into the respective folders using Windows® Explorer (or the Finder on a Macintosh), or by using Windows Media® Player. The Synchronize button in Windows Media® Player is a one way `sync' button. It will add music and photo files to your ARCHOS. It will give you the possibility to have the same digital media on your ARCHOS as you have in your Windows Media® Player library.

Connecting: When you connect the USB cable to your computer, the ARCHOS will connect as an external hard drive. Windows® Explorer will show it as A1 vision (E:) for example. For Macintosh computers, it will also appear as an external hard drive.
On your computer, start Windows Media® Player. 1) Select the Sync tab. 2) Drag the media files you want to transfer into the sync area in the panel on the right. 3) Click on the Start Sync button. The selected songs or photos will be copied directly into the corresponding Music or Pictures folder of the ARCHOS. See your Windows Media® Player help instructions for more information. To receive and play podcasts, you can use freely available software from the Internet such as the popular Juice program to get your podcasts and then you can transfer them to your ARCHOS.
DISCONNECTING THE ARCHOS FROM A COMPUTER
Once all your file transfers are finished, close Windows® Explorer and any other program that may have read or written to the ARCHOS. Click on the `safely remove' icon in the system tray, next to the clock. Before removing the cable, you will notice the state of the battery charge. If the icon has three solid bars, this means the battery is completely charged. If they are blinking, it means the battery is still charging. You can leave the device to fully charge or unplug the cable and use the ARCHOS with a partial charge. Close Safely Remove
VIDEO PLAYBACK
The video player requires that your video file be a specific format in order to be able to play. Included in the package is a CD with software that will convert most video files into this specifically required format. Convert your video files to a resolution of 128 x 128 with your computer using this software before copying them to the ARCHOS.
