The Archos FM Remote Control

2.1 Playing Music

You can connect your FM Remote to the Gmini at any time. If you connect the Remote

before turning on your Gmini, once you start it up, it will give you the choice of one of the

two main screen icons, either <Music> or <Browser>. If you are in any directory, you can

make a long press on the FM/MP3 mode button and you will be sent to the main menu

of the Gmini, thus giving you the choice of <Music> or <Browser>. Use the remote’s /

rocker control as the Up and Down buttons on the Gmini to scroll through your directories

and see the various ﬁ les and folders. Use the center rocker button  as the PLAY button

on the Gmini to play the displayed music ﬁ le or to enter a folder. Click once on the Hold

button to go back up a level in the directory structure. Use the Increase  and Decrease

 buttons on the Remote FM to control headphone volume.

2.2 Tuning the Radio

Once the remote is plugged in, click on the mode button MP3/FM to go to the radio mode.

Use the rocker control Left  and Right  to go up and down the frequency range. A

short press on the rocker button will rotate through the three FM tuning modes, Preset (you

can choose one of your 20 preset stations), Manual (tune your station manually), Search

(let the radio search for the next clear station). Press the MP3/FM button to leave the

Radio mode and go back to the MP3 mode.

2.3 Making a Radio Preset

You can save up to 20 preset stations with the FM remote control.

Once you have found the radio frequency you want to save as

a preset, press and hold the rocker PLAY button for 3 seconds.

The Remote will show P2 Saved, for example, indicating that this

radio station is now program number 2. If you would like to erase

a preset station, go to the tuning Preset mode, scroll to the preset

number you want to clear, then hold down on PLAY for three

seconds. You now have a free program slot to make a different

FM preset.

How to Use the Radio and MP3 Functions

If you would like to name your Preset radio stations, you can do this by editing, with a text

editor such as Notepad (Windows®) or SimpleText (Macintosh®), the ﬁle FMPreset.txt which

you will ﬁnd in the System folder on the root directory of the Gmini hard drive. Please note

that you should not use a word processor such as Microsoft Word® to edit the preset text ﬁle.

Each line of the text ﬁle should contain the station frequency, a space, and then the name

of the station. You can name the station whatever you want, some examples are 90.1 Easy

Jazz or 90s Hits FM Radio 107.8 or 91.3 KGTS. You are limited to 32 characters for naming a

station preset. The entry on a line of 0.0 represents an empty preset slot.

2.4 Setting the HOLD mode

Use this feature if you would like to prevent the FM Remote from changing stations, songs,

or settings accidentally if a button is pressed or hit. Hold down for three seconds on the

HOLD button to activate this. The buttons will be locked and not respond if pressed. To

de-activate HOLD and make the buttons usable, press the HOLD button again for 3

seconds. Using the HOLD on the Remote will lock both the Remote’s buttons and the

Gmini buttons.

2.5 Recording from the Microphone

First make sure you are in the MP3 mode (MP3/FM button to change modes) and in the

folder you want the voice ﬁle to be recorded to. Simply click once on the REC button and the

recording starts. The REC button will light up red to indicate that you are making a recording.

When you are done, click on REC again and the recording will ﬁnish and write to your hard

drive. Your recording will be saved in same folder of the last radio or voice recording. Typically

this location is the Music folder. This default location is changed when you make a recording

using the F3 ‘Record’ button (Gmini 400) or Record menu item (Gmini 100 & 200) in any given

folder from the Music browser.

2.6 Recording from the Radio

When you hear something on the radio you would like to record, click once on the remote

control’s REC button. The REC button will light up red to indicate that a recording is taking

place. Click it again when you want to stop the recording. Your recording will be saved in

same folder of the last radio or voice recording. Typically this location is the Music folder. This

default location is changed when you make a recording using the F3 ‘Record’ button (Gmini

400) or Record menu item (Gmini 100 & 200) in any given folder from the Music browser. The

ﬁle name for this recording will be RADIOxxxx, where xxxx are incremental numbers. During the

recording, the gain is ﬁxed so that you get the best possible radio recording.

How to Use the Radio and MP3 Functions

2.7 Retro Recording and Editing

Retro-recording

This is a feature that allows you to capture the 30 seconds of radio broadcast before the

record button is pressed. It does this by continuously recording a 30 second loop of music

in a buffer. Then, when you click on REC to record the radio, it adds this 30 seconds to

the beginning of your recording. This way, if you start recording a radio song after it has

started, you will actually have the entire song in the recording. The Retro-record setting

must be set to On in order for this to work. See the description in section 2.8 on how to turn

on or off the Retro-record function.

Editing

Once a retro-recorded song has been recorded, it can be edited on the Gmini itself. Often,

the beginning of the recording will include a commercial or announcer talk that you do not

want to keep, but was also recorded during the buffered 30 seconds.

1. Choose the Radio Recording to Edit.

To go to the Audio Edit screen

and remove unwanted sections,

your Gmini and click on the menu

item Edit Track. Shown here is the

for the precise moment that you

want the edited song to start and

then click the Pause button. The question screen will come

up and ask if this will be the Cut-in or the Cut-out. Since the Cut-

in button is already highlighted, just click on the Play button

How to Use the Radio and MP3 Functions

to accept that you are making the Cut-in point. After this, the Gmini will go back to edit

screen and start playing the song again. To make the point where you want the newly

edited song to end, let the song play to the point that you wish it to stop, and then click on

Pause at that precise moment. This time however, use the Right button to highlight the

Cut-out option and then click on Play to validate the Cut-out choice. You will now hear

your song played with the undesired parts completely removed. If you would like to make

further cuts, you can still do so. If you are happy with the results, click on ESC / to exit

the Audio Edit screen and it will ask if you would like to save your edit. If you select No, your

recorded ﬁle will be left untouched. If you select Yes, the Gmini will execute a read/write

process and create a new ﬁle named originalﬁlename_Edit.mp3 and place it in the same

directory as the original ﬁle. You can now delete the original ﬁnal if you desire.

Cut-In & Cut-Out (Gmini 400)

To go to the Audio Edit screen and remove unwanted sections, locate the recorded radio

ﬁle on your Gmini, click on the F2 File button, and select the item Edit. Shown here is the

Audio Edit mode. It looks similar to the music play screen. You will notice that your radio

recording has started to play. It will continuously loop so that you can hear the changes

to it as the Cut-ins and Cut-outs are made.

As normal, when playing a song, you can use the

Reverse and Forward buttons to move back and

forward within the song. While the song is playing,

wait for the precise moment that you want the

edited song to start and then click on the F1 button

Cut-In. The song will now start to play from that cut-in

point as if it was the beginning of the song. Let the

song play (Or fast forward) to the point you want

the song to end. Wait for the precise moment that

you want the edited song to end and then click on

the F3 button Cut-Out. Your song is now edited in the

beginning and end. You can use the Forward and

Reverse buttons to listen to your new start and end

points and judge if the cuts are as you wanted. If you are happy with the results, click

on F2 Save to your edit. It will ask if you would like to save your edit. If you select No, your

recorded ﬁle will be left untouched. If you select Yes, the Gmini will execute a read/write

process and create a new ﬁle named and place it in the same directory as the original

ﬁle. You can now delete the original ﬁle if you desire.
