This booklet mentioned a PDF manual that was supposed to be located on the 605 WIFI. Printed documentation supplied with this device consisted of a mini Quick Start Guide which covered basic information. I encountered no problems when using version 10 of the Microsoft software. By default the transfer process will require Windows Media Player with Archos recommending Windows Media Player 11 for optimum performance. Transferring content to the 605 WIFI is via the same USB connection that is used for recharging. Web connectivity will require the purchase of an appropriate browser. In some cases you may be asked for additional configuration information before a connection can be made. The Archos 605 WIFI will automatically search for and connect to any local WiFi network. For improved audio output you would be advised to use a headphone set such as the supplied ear-bud offering. Although the Archos 605 WIFI features built-in speakers, these tend to product a rather tinny sound that pales in comparison with the quality of the video output. You can select any image to act as your wallpaper for the PMP.Īudio tracks can be sorted by artist, album, title and genre plus arranged into play lists. Still images can be viewed individually or formed into a slideshow with a limited number of available transitions. For some other formats, such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, you will need to purchase optional codec software from the Archos online store. The unit's touch screen's display is capable of providing good quality playback of videos with support for MPEG-4, WMV, WMA, DivX and Xvid. This results in the powering up being not the quickest process.
You need to connect the 605 WIFI to your computer via the proprietary USB lead. The method used to power up the device, while straightforward, is not the most convenient. The extra stylus could prove useful as Archos has neglected to include a storage compartment, as part of the PMP, to help avoid the possibility of a stylus being misplaced. In fact you get a couple of these pointing implements. As this device has a touch screen, working in conjunction with side-mounted navigation buttons, you will not be too surprised to hear that a stylus is included as standard.
