Hi, I have a 504, & don't use any plugins, your set up seems same as mine, check all your connection are fully pressed in, I had an output one the other day that had worked loose so couldn't view the Archos on the TV.  

My connections are:- the red/white/yellow leads into the Input (top section) of the DVR station and the other end red/white/yellow leads into the Scart adapter then into the Digi/Freeview box, then the other 7 leads with the scart at the other end, into the matching colours in the DVR station and the scart into the back of my television (labeled AV1).
From the Archos 1st screen I choose Video or Audio corder & press record, I don't have any problem with the picture or sound, so maybe you have a faulty lead.

To view on the TV I press the LCD TV button, change TV to AV1 & watch what's on the Archos

Hope this helps   - if not sorry
