Archos forum / Archos Av500 Tv Docking Pod Problem

« on: January 04, 2006, 03:40:40 am »

Hi  Back again , Solution found !!

Spoke to a friend about my problem with the Archos docking Port and it seems that the connections to the TV and Video via the Docking Port is fine but that i needed to press the AV button (TV/Video) on my TV remote so that it would switch to allow the signal from the Docking Port to Display on the TV. It sounds a bit Da Da i know but i was assuming if things worked before using a standard Scart cable it should have worked with the new Archos docking port , oh silly me ...

thans again for people who replied .


Regards, Jan

Archos forum / Archos Av500 Tv Docking Pod Problem

Hi, Happy New Year to All.

Just got an Av500 for Christmas 2005(Ireland)  , so unpacked it and looks great !!. First of all connected one of the av cables (using the scart adopter ) to the DVD (ext 1). then connected the av cable to the Tv docking pod . Next i connect the other av cable to the TV (flat screen) again using the supplied scart adoptor and connected the cable to the TV docking pod , and connect the Tv Docking pod to the power supply ( and made sure it was switched on of course)  Switched the TV to the Video channel and....... nothing . I have followed the instructions on the manual as well as the display on the back of the manual making sure the cables were in the correct position and no go .  I was wondering has anybody come across this problem before and maybe can direct me in some way that i can either test the docking pod seperately or the av/scart adoptors to see if they are ok. Was speaking to some one about this and they said that i have to press my AV button on the remote for my TV for this to work.  
I currentily use a scart cable to connect from my DVD to my TV for vidoe channell . I also have a cable connection from my DVD to my tv.

Any help or direction pointing would be helpful ....

Regards, Jan
