If some of your videos don't play on your ARCHOS, you may need to convert them to
a compatible format:
• The easiest way to do this is by using Windows Media® Player 11 or higher to
transfer videos to your ARCHOS. Windows Media® Player will automatically con-
vert most formats to the WMV format that your device can play.
See your Windows Media
• If you don't want to use Windows Media® Player, a search on the Internet should
allow you to find other suitable utility programs.
PlayIng yOur PC's shared VIdeOs (uPnP)
• When connected to your home WiFi network, your ARCHOS gives
you the possibility to watch, directly on your device, shared videos
stored in your PC's Windows Media® Library.
• For this to work, you will need a WiFi connection and Windows Media® Player 11
or higher* installed on your PC.
* There are other products (software) on the market that also can share media
files using the UPnP standard.
• The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared
videos from your PC's Windows Media® Library.
See: Playing your PC's Shared Media Files (UPnP) .
•
If you cannot install Windows Media
cess and stream your PC's files from the ARCHOS File Browser. See Browsing
Other Computers on the Network.
