• If the end time is earlier than the start time, then it is assumed that you start recording on the start date, and
the recording ends on the following day at the end time.
• Once a scheduled recording has been made, or the date of a recording has been passed, without the recording
having been made (the AV 700 TV was not connected to the docking pod or not in Standby mode), the schedule
entry will be erased from the scheduler.
• Long recording times (2 hours and more) can create fi les that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB) each. The
AV 700 TV will create multiple fi les in order to make long recordings. Thus a long scheduled recording may
produce video fi les called VID0000, VID0001, and VID0002. This is only in the case of recordings that are over
2 GB in size. This 2 GB fi le size constraint is due to the Windows® FAT32 AVI fi le type specifi cation.
• When you set the scheduler, the AV 700 TV will create a text fi le in its System folder called DVRTimer.txt. You
should not erase this fi le.
23.8.2 Automated Yahoo!® TV Recording Scheduler
For those who have a
My Yahoo!®
account and use the calendar feature, the AV 700 TV can read the TV
programs scheduled into your personal calendar and transmit these to your AV 700 TV to be included in the
AV 700 TV scheduler. This way, you do not have to input all your scheduled recordings manually. You can sign up
for an account and learn how to use the My Yahoo!® TV and calendar functions at the Yahoo!® Website (www.
yahoo.com).
Please note: Using the scheduler is particularly useful when you have the TV docking pod and you have set up
the Infrared connector. Otherwise, the AV 700 TV will be unable to change channels on your tuner. It will record
the currently selected channel. Furthermore, the AV 700 TV needs to be powered by a charger in order to go into
standby mode rather than switch off completely.
You must do the following:
1. Connect your AV 700 TV to your computer.
2. Go to your personal Yahoo!® calendar which has your TV programs scheduled.
3. Choose the Week view – starting with the current day as the beginning of the week.

4. Click on Printable View to show a cleaner printable version.
5. From your browser menu click on File > Save As … to save the fi le.
6. Do not change the File Name , but do change the Save as Type to Web page , html only. Now save the fi le to
the folder System on your AV 700 TV.
7. Once you disconnect the AV 700 TV from your computer, the AV 700 TV will automatically update its scheduler
with the newly saved TV programs from your My Yahoo!® calendar. If the AV 700 TV encounters a television
station name that it does not know the channel number for (was never set), it will indicate so, and direct you to go
to the scheduler to manually assign a channel to the station name.
Notes:
• If the TV programs from your personal calendar do not seem to be correctly copied to the AV 700 TV scheduler,
go to the ARCHOS™ web site to make sure that you have the very latest version of the AV 700 TV fi rmware.
Update your fi rmware (Operating System) as explained in the chapter
Updating the AV 700 TV fi rmware
Operating System.
• If you change your Yahoo!® personal calendar by deleting some TV programs and adding new ones, only the
new programs will be added to the AV 700 TV scheduler when you save the html fi le to the AV 700 TV. If you
want to delete scheduled items, you must do this in the AV 700 TV scheduler itself.
• Missed recordings (because you did not have the AV 700 TV connected to the docking pod at the record time)
will be deleted from the scheduler.
• If a personal calendar recording event does not fi nd the station name in your list of channels, it will
put the event into the scheduler and mark it with a ?, indicating that you must assign a channel number
to the name. Move the cursor to the line containing the ?, and click on the action icon “Set Channel”.
You can now scroll through the channel numbers and assign a number to the station name for that
event. You only have to do this once. The AV 700 TV will keep the station name and its channel number.
