[. . . ] English Language User Manual Dear Customer, ARCHOS thanks you for your choice of this exciting PMA430TM Personal Media Assistant. Based on the tried and tested Linux® operating system, you can now get all the entertainment you want, right in the palm of your hand. This guide will explain to you the functions of the PMA430TM. This product is, in reality, a computer. [. . . ] If you do not plan on making scheduled recordings, then you do not need to install the IR emitter or set the infrared emitter code. Before following the procedure of setting the emitter code, insure that your PMA430 is connected in the TV Cradle and that the IR emitter cable is plugged in and placed in front of your tuner's (VCR, cable box, satellite receiver) infrared receiver. See the TV Cradle instructions for set-up and for the exact placement of the emitter. 10. 1 Part 1 : Choose your Category, Brand, and Model 10. 2 Part 2: Testing the channel changer Test: Channel Input : When you press the Test: Channel Input button the PMA430 will send a signal through the cradle to the Infrared Emitter stuck to your device and change the channel. If the Number of digits parameter is set to three, it will try to select channel 123. If that parameter is set to 2, it will send the code for channel 12. If the test does not change the channel on your tuner, go back to the IR Transmitter tab and try the next available code for your category and brand of product. Parameter Use -/-- Key: Description Set this to On if normally, you have to press a key with this icon on your device's remote control in order to select a channel.

Use Enter Key Set this to On if normally, you have to press the Enter key on your device's remote control after you enter the channel number. Example: If you normally press 1, 3, Enter for channel 13, then you would need to set this parameter to On. Delay after each Change the delay between the emission of each digit of a channel. You may need to digit adjust this if the PMA430 seems to send only half the digits of a channel or more digits of a channel. Example: Adjust the key delay and retest channel select if it sends channel 1 instead of 12 or sends 112 instead of 12. In the Settings tab, go to the application VideoCorder Settings. 1. 3.
