Hi fiona

I had the same problem as the archos web site is not the easiest to navigate.Have you actualy registered the product yet ?if so once logged in add your device as a product,on my products click on the picture of the 405 and that will take you to the screen for downloading archoslink (software to install the tv guide) and to the subscription page for down loading the tv guide.

How ever i have done all this and although i can download the guide i cannot sync it to my 405 so still unable to record off tv....Email gone to archos so fingers crossed....

This should help. When the hourglass symbol stays on, press and hold down the start button for at least 15 seconds. The screen should clear and then you can navigate back to the correct opening screen and select music, videos, photos etc. as you require.

hi i found my own soulution for recording i will tell you an easy way fist of all you need another freeview box only connect this to your archos and have the other box connected like normal to your tv and place your archos and other box near your tv buy a 2 way splitter from wilkinsons and connect this where your ariel box is probably near the window and get another tv lead to reach your freeview box for the archos this means you have a connection running from the tv box for your normal tv and f box and another for the archos and f box cos of the 2 way splitter you can then record on the archos from the f box and watch another channel on your tv then playback later what you recorded of your archos on your big tv please let me know if you sort this and let me no if you get stuck its great when you get it all set up and it works thanks.

The 405 isn't a touch screen one. At least mine isn't, and I wasn't expecting it to be.

You can play it through the TV as if it was video, using the Battery Dock. Similarly, just put it through my stereo by connecting the audio cables to the AUX input (leave the Video unattached). Just remember the volume levels on the 405 need to be upped when playing through the TV and stereo and you'll probably have to turn the TV and stereo up to a lot louder than norma;when watching TV or playing a CD, so remeber to turn them down before switching back, otherwise the neighbours (or speakers) may blow.

try going to Menu->Settings->Sound. Go to Audio Output and try switching between Analog Line Out and SPDIF. I too had this problem and it scared me. But after playing around with the settings, I found this solution. All the best

Do you havve the plug-in?:-?-:?

Check if you have windows media player 11 installed. then go to Setting->System->USB Preference and switch between Windows Media Device, PC Hard Drive, and PC Hard Drive (auto ARCLib) modes. Hope this will work. All the best.

I think, in stand-by mode of digital media player, charging will start automaticaly.

hi chinadski...by aos files i pressume you mean Archos Operating System files i.e firmware ??..this you dont need a programme for all you do is click and drag the file into your root directory but be carefull i upgraded mine last night and the instructions stated it can cause all sorts of problems if not done correctly

Windows 8 is and has been obsolete and unsupported for over 8 years. Time to update your OS. Linux is excellent, Ubuntu Mint is free and easy to use, the choice is yours.

Did you try the hidden Reset Button? This is an old unit. https://www.fixya.com/support/t616253-archos_605_wifi_firmware_disabled https://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1150953.htm https://www.fixya.com/support/t616253-archos_605_wifi_firmware_disabled ..

If your Archos 605 WiFi LCD screen keeps turning off, it may be due to a few reasons:

1. Battery issues: If the battery is low or has a poor connection, the LCD screen may turn off intermittently. Try charging the battery fully and checking if the problem persists.
2. Power settings: The device may be set to turn off the LCD screen after a period of inactivity. Go to the device settings and adjust the power settings to keep the screen on.
3. Firmware issues: If the firmware is outdated or corrupted, it may cause the LCD screen to turn off. Try updating the firmware to the latest version available.
4. Hardware issues: If none of the above solutions work, it may be a hardware issue with the LCD screen or its connection. You may need to take it to a professional technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

I hope this helps!
