Video Application

This is the video viewer application. When you click on this icon in the main screen,
you will be sent directly to the Video Browser. Like a music file, you simply
highlight the video file and then click the PLAY button.
The thumbnail images on the right side will show you a frame from the highlighted video file
(centre) as well as a frame from the file above and the file below the highlighted one. Keep in
mind that the PMA400 will only play video files that are encoded in MPEG4 format (see section
8.3 for details). Other files such as .mov, or .mpg, will not automatically be playable.
Select the desired video file and click PLAY.
Use the PLAY button to pause/resume the video.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to control the volume.
Hold down the RIGHT/LEFT buttons to fast forward or fast reverse through the video.
Touch the screen to Hide / Show the overlaid video file information.
Click on the button (top right) for file info.
To watch your video files on a television,
make sure you have connected your TV
Cradle correctly to your television (see the
TV Cradle Manual) and then hold down on
the LCD/TV button on the top of the unit or
hold down on TV/LCD button on the
Archos remote control for 3 seconds. If you
don't see a clear color image, you may have
to set your PMA400 to your local television
standard (NTSC or PAL) in the Settings >
TV Out. The screen overlay information
will disappear after a few seconds.
