Contextual Menu while in the Double Browser

By using the unique Archos double browser system, you can
copy or move fi les from one location in the fi le structure to
another (caution: there is a limit of 1000 fi les per folder). While
in the Browser mode, you simply click the RIGHT button and a
second browser window will open. You can jump between the
two windows using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons. Wherever the cursor
is highlighting a fi le or folder, that window is the source for the
copy. The destination folder will be the other window. Once you
have decided on the destination folder, move to the source
browser window, highlight the fi le to copy, and then click on
the MENU button. You can now choose Copy fi le to copy the
highlighted fi le, Copy All Files to copy all the fi les in that folder to
the destination folder, or Move File to move it to the destination
folder.

Recording MP3 Music

With the Gmini series, you do not need a computer to create MP3 music fi les. It is
capable of recording from the built-in microphone or an analog line source (from a HiFi
system, portable stereo, CD Player, etc.). Before the actual recording begins, there is a
pre-recording screen which will allow you to adjust your recording settings. See section
4.2.5 of this manual for a complete explanation of these parameters.

1. From the main menu screen, select Recorder
then click on OK.

2. In the pre-recording screen, adjust the recording
level* by using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons (line-in recording
only). You can click on PLAY to start the recording or
you can click the MENU button then select Record
Settings to set the recording parameters.

3. The Record Settings selection from the MENU
button reveals the recording parameters screen
as shown here. Be sure to set the correct Source.
You will hear silence during the recording and
playback if the incorrect source is chosen.

4. Once you have clicked on the PLAY/PAUSE
button to start your recording, you can pause the
recording by clicking that button again, or stop the
recording by clicking on the STOP button.

* You should try some test recordings before deciding on which recording level gives the best sound quality. Don’t
be tricked by the volume of the headphones which can be adjusted with the UP/DOWN buttons.
