Archos forum / Av 500 Locking Up When Recording Tv

« on: April 03, 2006, 11:14:16 am »

That's only happened to me twice since December with a 500.
Also a couple times the video got saved, without audio, and the video was slowed down. I think it got corrupted.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with it.

Have you tried downloading the latest firmware?

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the latest firmware on both of them. I think the problem is when I use the buttons on the actual device to controll it when it's plugged in to the docking pod. As last night I tried recording video using the remote to control it and it worked fine. So I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that that's all it is. As when it's not connected to the docking pod it's great. And I'm really very impressed with everything else about it.

Archos forum / Av 500 Locking Up When Recording Tv

Ok I've only had my Archos for a couple of days. This is now my second one. I took the first back as it kept locking up when I tried to record the TV and one of the buttons stopped working intermittently. So I then ordered a new one. I've set up the docking pod and managed to get to the very end of the film I was recording without it locking up. However the second I pressed the button to stop recording it locked up again. Which meant that I lost the whole recording. I try to switch it off by holding the off button for 15 seconds like it says in the manual but that doesn't work. So I end up having to remove it from the docking pod.

Has anyone else had this problem and if you have how (that is if you managed to) did you fix it? Or should I just give up on the thought of owning an Archos and send it back?

Other than that though it seems ok. It's mainly when connected to the docking pod. It's just a pain as I'm otherwise very impressed with it but if I can't record anything then what's the point in owning it   .

Thanks in advance for all your help.
