About ARCHOS 605 & 705 WiFi
Installation
Do I need any drivers to connect my ARCHOS to my computer with the
USB cable?
You do not need any drivers to plug
your ARCHOS to your computer.
ARCHOS products have been designed
to be automatically recognized by
recent operating systems.
ATTENTION: ARCHOS devices are NOT
supported by old operating systems
such as Win95, Win98, Win98se, WinNT,
as well as older Mac versions.
When connecting your ARCHOS to your
computer, your device will be
recognized and connected depending
on which version of Windows Media
Player you have:
• If you connect your ARCHOS to your
PC and it has Windows Media Player 10
or higher installed, it will connect
(default connection mode) as a ‘Media
Device’ and allow purchased music and
videos to be synchronized to your
ARCHOS.
• If you connect your device to your PC
and you have an older Windows Media
Player version on your computer (Media
Player 9 or lower), the unit will
automatically switch to Hard Drive

Mode. Only protected music and videos
from your PC cannot be synchronized to
your ARCHOS in this mode. Protected
music and videos from your PC cannot
be synchronized to your ARCHOS in this
mode.
Note 1: Macintosh and Linux computers
will always connect in ‘Hard Drive’
mode.
Note 2: If you receive a message saying
that your unit is not compatible, you
can proceed and click on "Continue".
ARCHOS products are fully compatible
with the recent Windows and Macintosh
operating systems.
I have installed a firmware/plug-in/game file on my ARCHOS but it is not
recognized by the device.
You may have copied the firmware/plug-
in/game file (type ".aos") into a folder
on the device and not to the root level.
If it has been copied in any of the
folders of the ARCHOS, it won’t be
recognized automatically and will not
ask you to complete the installation
process.
To locate the ".aos" firmware/plug-
in/game file, use the ARCHOS file
browser from the Home screen, and
then tap on the file.
ATTENTION:
If you have not seen a progression bar
showing the installation, then the
firmware/plug-in/game file has not been
installed.
It is possible that during the install
process, you accidentally tapped on the
screen and exited the install process.
Tap on the ".aos" file again (using the
ARCHOS file browser) and make sure
that you see the progression bar
indicating that the file is being installed.
Note: If you have a WiFi connection, you
can also update your firmware online
(MENU > Settings > System > Software

and Plug-ins).
I have downloaded a plug-in/game file but I cannot install it. The file
size is 0 Kb or a message says that it is corrupted or that the update
has failed.
Try the following:
- Download your file a second time as
your download may have not been
successful.
- Check that you have entered the
correct 'Product Key' (Menu > Settings
> Firmware and Plug-ins).
If there is a "0", make sure you entered
the figure "0" and not the letter "O".
If you still cannot install your file, you
should contact our Technical Support.
My ARCHOS displays “Error Code 207.” What should I do?
This error occurs when one attempts to
install an incompatible firmware. For
example, a firmware for the ARCHOS 5
was being installed on an ARCHOS 605.
To find the right firmware:
Go to your customer account (or create
one if you don’t have one yet) where
you can find the latest update software
(firmware) for your particular ARCHOS
product (Manage Products >
Support > Firmware).
My ARCHOS cannot play Flash games.
Your games may not be supported by
your device as they have been designed
to be played on a computer. Certain
features of the Flash game may not
work on a computer or may react less
rapidly.
Proceed as follows:
1. Copy the ".swf" file (the Flash game)
into the folder named “Flash” on the
ARCHOS.
2. Manually update your ARCLibrary.
To be able to update it, switch the USB
mode to PC Hard Drive mode (MENU >
Settings > System > USB mode) so that
the “Update the ARCLibrary” button can

be activated.
Now you should be able to access your
games through the Widgets icon.
Can I connect my ARCHOS to my computer using a USB hub?
Yes, you can connect your device using
a USB hub.
However we do not recommend it since
not all USB hubs (powered or
unpowered) do not deliver enough
power to enable a good and reliable
USB connection.
If connecting your cable through a USB
hub does not work, plug it into a USB
port directly on the computer.
On older computers, the front USB ports
may not be sufficient, try the back of
the computer.
How do I update the ARCHOS software (firmware)?
There are two main ways to update
your ARCHOS software (see Updating
the firmware in the full manual):
• Directly on your ARCHOS if you can
connect to a WiFi network.
Go to MENU > Settings > Firmware &
Plug-ins and select "Online Firmware
Update".
Your ARCHOS will connect to the
Internet and start downloading the
latest firmware to the device. This may
take some time as the update file can
be rather large.
Once downloaded to your ARCHOS, it
will ask you to install it.
If you do not see the progression bar on
the screen saying “Installing”, then the
update hasn't been installed yet.
• With a computer from our Website
Before you download the firmware file,
check to make sure you aren't already
running the latest version of the
ARCHOS software.
Compare the latest on-line version

(example version 1.0.8) with the one
installed on your ARCHOS (Menu >
Settings > Firmware and Plug-ins),
example 1.0.51. In this case, since the
version on the ARCHOS Web site is
higher, you should download and install
it.
Download the latest firmware by going
to your customer account.
Click on "Manage Products", and then
click on "Support". Go at the bottom of
the page to find the latest firmware.
Connect your ARCHOS to your computer
and copy the software (file type ".aos")
to your ARCHOS.
Disconnect the ARCHOS and then, if it
doesn't automatically ask you to install
the new software you just copied to it,
use the file browser from the home
screen to locate the update file and tap
on it.
General
Why is it impossible to copy files larger than 2 GB to my ARCHOS?
You cannot copy files larger than 2 GB
in the default USB mode to your
ARCHOS due to the FAT 32 and Media
Transfer Protocol (MTP) constraints.
However, changing your USB
connection type setting on your
ARCHOS will enable you to transfer files
up to 4 GB (except for “.avi” files).
For this, go to Menu > Settings >
System. Next to "USB Preference",
switch from "Windows Media Device"
(default USB connection) to "PC Hard
Drive".
ATTENTION: When your ARCHOS is in
'PC Hard Drive' mode, safely remove
the device before disconnecting it from
your computer.
On your computer, click on the "safely
remove" green arrow icon in the
Windows system tray (see the
illustration in the full manual).

Can I drag and drop files from my PC directly to my ARCHOS?
Yes. Simply open 'My Computer' and
double click on the ARCHOS icon and
then open the folder inside that you'd
like to copy your file(s) to.
Then just drag the file(s) from another
window into this folder.
If your computer does not allow you to
do this, you can set your ARCHOS to be
seen by your computer as just another
Hard Drive, thus making any drag and
drop possible.
Tap on Menu > Settings > System. Next
to "USB preference", switch from
"Windows Media Device" (default USB
connection) to "PC Hard Drive".
In this mode however, purchased music
and video (copy-protected files) on your
computer will not be transferable to
your ARCHOS.
ATTENTION: When your ARCHOS is in
'PC Hard Drive' mode, safely remove
the device before disconnecting it from
your computer. On your computer, click
on the "safely remove" green arrow
icon in the Windows system tray (see
the illustration in the full manual).
What is the storage capacity of the ARCHOS 605 and 705?
The storage capacity depends on which
ARCHOS model you purchased. If you
were to store ONLY movies, or ONLY
photos, or ONLY songs, these are the
approximate capacities:
ARCHOS 605 models
- 4 GB: 5 movies, 40,000 photos, or
2,000 songs.
- 30 GB: 40 movies, 300,000 photos, or
15,000 songs.
- 80 GB: 100 movies, 800,000 photos,
or 45,000 songs.
- 160 GB: 200 movies, 1,600,000
photos, or 95,000 songs.
ARCHOS 705 models
- 80 GB : 100 movies, 800,000 photos

Archives
or 45,000 songs.
- 160 GB : 200 movies, 1,600,000
photos or 95,000 songs.
Note: The amount of images, videos,
and songs you can store on your device
will vary depending on the size, bitrate,
resolution and the encoding quality of
your files.
I can’t type any numbers on the virtual keyboard. Where are they?
You have to first press the green “Alt”
button to access the numbers.
What is a Widget?
A widget is a piece of software that
extends the features of the ARCHOS. It
provides you a fun, quick and easy
access to hundreds of utilities such as
local weather forecast, sports results,
and even games...right on the device.
I did not get any supplied software or manual with the ARCHOS. Where
can I find them?
Windows Media Player 11 is the
recommended software used to
synchronize your video, music, and
photo collection to your ARCHOS.
If you are a Macintosh or Linux user,
you cannot synchronize your music,
videos, and photos with Windows Media
Player.
Just copy and paste your media files
into the corresponding folder on the
ARCHOS once it is connected.
You can access the complete PDF
manual in 2 different ways:
• Directly from your ARCHOS: tap on
Menu > Info and then tap on the PDF
file to open it.
• From our Website to find the latest
version of the full user manual.
What is the use of the GPS demo mode called “Switch to Demo Software
GPS”?
The demo mode included in the device

is designed to be used at retailers only.
Do not use it as it merely searches for
two short video demonstrations to play
in a loop for store displays. Your device
does not have the video demonstration
files. Thus this function will not work for
you. If you need information about how
the GPS operates, click here to find a
detailed description on our Web site.
Can the ARCHOS view text or PDF files?
The ARCHOS can read PDF files.
Advanced features in PDF files such as
password protection may not be
recognized though.
For ".txt" files, if you have purchased
the "Web Browser" plug-in, the ARCHOS
will launch the Opera browser and
display the file when you tap on it in the
file browser.
What is streaming?
It is playing music, photos or videos
from another computer on the Internet
directly on your local WiFi network on
your ARCHOS without having to copy
the file to the device.
After connecting my ARCHOS to my computer, I can see files such as
“desktop.ini”, “._image.jpeg”, “finder.def”,”._file”, “System Volume
Information”, “DevLogo.fil”, etc.
These files have been created by the
ARCHOS device itself.
Windows and Macintosh Operating
Systems often write extra files to your
device’s hard disk such as these types
of files.
This is normal and these files will not
damage the device.
Advice: If you have a Macintosh
computer,you can delete "._ files" if you
prefer.
How can I lock/unlock the buttons on my ARCHOS ?
Press and hold the “TV/LCD” button to
lock or unlock your device’s
buttons/touchscreen.

I have an ARCHOS 605 and I would like to benefit from the new GPS
function. Do I have to buy the 605 GPS or can I just add the GPS
function on my current device ?
You do not need to buy the ARCHOS
605 GPS. The GPS function can be
implemented on your current 605
device by purchasing the GPS Car
Holder Accessory on our Website.
This accessory contains the actual GPS
receiver and includes the maps on a
DVD.
Can I change the hard drive capacity of the ARCHOS?
No, the capacity of the hard drive
cannot be changed.
There is not an HD upgrade service
through the ARCHOS repair center.
ATTENTION: Opening your ARCHOS
voids the guaranty and changing the
hard drive will render your device
unusable as the original hard drive is
coded to a particular device.
When I turn my device on, I am asked to type my parental code. What is
the code?
The default parental code is “0000”.
If it is not accepted, that means you have changed the code by creating a
personalized passcode.
If you do not rembember it, contact our Technical Support and give your
'Product Key' (number of the device).
The 'Product key' is found under MENU > Settings > Software and Plug-ins.
I forgot what the 'Parental Code' is. Where can I get it?
The factory default code is "0000".
If you have changed it and forgotten it,
then you'll have to contact our
Technical Support and give your
'Product key' (number of the device).
The 'Product key' is found under MENU
> Settings > Software and Plug-ins.
I cannot see files that I copied to my ARCHOS from my computer.
You may have copied files whose format
is not supported by the ARCHOS such
as Office documents (ex: ".doc", ".xls",
".ppt"), or audio (Real Audio, Ogg
Vorbis, etc.). Page 9 / 35

The ARCHOS will not show the files
using the Video, Music or Photo
browsers that it cannot play. To see all
your files, use the File browsing tool.
How can I activate the parental code?
From the home screen, go to MENU >
Settings > Parental Control.
The default parental code is "0000".
To change the code, proceed as follows:
1. Select “Change the code”.
2. Choose a 4 digit code through the
virtual keyboard.
Write it down and keep it in a safe place
so you do not forget it.
3. Confirm and validate your new code
by selecting “Apply”.
4. Switch from “Parental mode” to
“Child” mode.
Adult marked content is no longer
accessible and the parental control
parameters cannot be modified without
this code.
Can I play (stream) my PC's media files directly on my ARCHOS without
having to copy them over to it?
Yes, this is the beauty of WiFi and UpnP
(Universal Plug and Play).
You can watch videos, music or photos
that are stored on your computer
directly on your device through a WiFi
connection.
You just need your computer to have a
WiFi connection and have Windows
Media Player 11 or higher installed on
your PC. Then, configure Windows
Media Player (see Windows Media
Player's sharing options in our full
manual).
To share your media files, proceed as
follows:
1. Connect your ARCHOS to your
