23.1 Docking Pod Cable Connections
23.1 Docking Pod Cable Connections
By installing the TV Docking Pod, you have an easy way to
connect and disconnect your AV 700 TV to or from your home
entertainment system. Simply connect the pod’s multi-connect
plug to the AV 700 TV as needed. If you have scheduled
television recordings to make, then connect the AV 700 TV
to the pod and let it make the recording while you are away.
If you want to make TV recordings from a place other than
where your pod is connected, then you can purchase the
AV Travel Kit to bring along with your ARCHOS
™
device and
record from any other audio/video source.

23.1.2 Connecting the TV Docking Pod to your Television System - Connect & Test Method
Even if connecting audio-visual equipment is not your strong suit, by following our instructions and applying our
Connect & Test
method, you will be able to verify that your connections are correct. Refer to the connection
diagram at the end of this section while reading through each step below.
1) Connection: Powering the TV Docking Pod
Plug the included adapter/charger into the jack labeled DC-in on the TV docking pod. Your docking pod must
always be powered, even if you do not have your AV700 connected to it. If not powered, your regular tuner’s
output (VCR, cablebox, satellite receiver) will not be seen on your television.
2) Connection: Breaking your regular TV Connection
The TV docking pod is a pass-through device. That is, if you do nothing more than connect it to your VCR, Cable
box, or Satellite receiver and your television, it will pass the audio and video signals through to your TV and you
will notice no difference in how your television system operates. Start by disconnecting your television from its
usual source (vcr, cable box, or satellite receiver).
3) Connection: Put the TV docking pod between your TV and Tuner
We will now put the TV docking pod between these two devices you just separated. Take
one of the AV cables (they are identical, don’t worry), and plug it into the
AV Out
jack of
the TV docking pod, and plug the other end of this cable into your television (European
users may need to use the included
IN
labeled scart adapter). Take the second AV cable
and plug it into the
AV In
jack of the TV docking pod. The other end of this cable must
now go to the video and audio output of your tuner (VCR, cable box, satellite receiver)
that was previously connected to your television (European users may need to use the
included
OUT
labeled scart adapter).
TEST IT:
Verify that you made the correct connections.
• Turn on your television
• Turn on your video device (vcr, cable box, or satellite receiver)
