standard male/male RCA cable (on the yellow video jack) instead of the sup-
plied S-video cable.
Connect the ARCHOS’ outputs to your TV’s inputs as shown above. If you have an
HDMI cable, you can connect it now.

Use only the supplied ARCHOS power adapter as other adapters may damage
this device (even if they give the same voltage rating).
Make sure that your TV is switched to the AV input which the ARCHOS is con-
nected to (on the back of the TV).
Once the ARCHOS turns on (green light), your device will cycle between three
different video output modes in order for you to select the correct one. Wait until
you see an image in color on your TV (this may take up to 30 seconds), and press
OK on the remote control.
