2.4 Caring for the Archos™ 204

The Archos™ 204 is an electronic product that needs to be treated with care.

• Do not subject it to unnecessary shock or vibration.

• Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated (especially when connected to a computer).

• Keep the Archos™ 204 away from water and excessively humid areas.

• Keep the Archos™ 204 away from high electromagnetic ﬁ elds.

2.5 Foreign Character Sets

You have the possibility to display your ﬁ le names, folder names, and MP3 ID3 tags in various character sets

(ex: Korean, Japanese, Simpliﬁ ed Chinese, etc.). You can ﬁ nd the language ﬁ les CodePage_name.4fz in the font

folder under /Data on the Archos™ 204 hard drive or on the Archos website under the heading Software.

If, for example, you would like to have the Japanese language display, you would copy the ﬁ le Cp932.4fz into

the folder /system on the Archos™ 204 . Shut down and restart the Archos™ 204 . File names, folder names,

and ID3 tags written using the Microsoft

codepage for the language will now be displayed in that character set.

Only one.4fz ﬁ le can be used at a time, thus you should only put one.4fz ﬁ le into the /system folder. When an.4fz

language ﬁ le is used, the interface language will be set to English.

Playing Music

Once the Archos™ 204 has been turned on, the following screen is displayed. You can select the major functions

3.1 Playing a Music File

By clicking on the Music icon in the main menu screen, you will enter into a ‘music only’

mode. File types other than WMA, WAV, and MP3 that may be in those folders will be

ﬁ ltered from view.

There are two ways to access your music, by selecting Browse hard disk or by

searching the songs’ tag information, Artist, Album, title, etc . In the case of Browse

hard drive, you will be sent directly to the Music folder of your Archos™ 204. Here you

can look at all your music ﬁ les and the folders on your Archos™ 204’s hard drive as if

you were browsing ﬁ les with a computer. The other way is to browse your music by tag

information, artist, album, song name, year, or genre. The Unknown category indicates

that the ﬁ le has no tag data.

To select a music ﬁ le, push the navigation joystick to move upwards or downwards and press it down to enter a

highlighted subfolder or tag category. Click ENTER to play the highlighted song. Use LEFT to leave a folder and

go back to the previous level.
