2 First Time Usage Please understand that this device has a CPU, hard drive, and Operating System (OS) and thus it is more like a computer than a CD player, cassette player, or radio. If you are not familiar with using a computer, it would be particularly useful to read through this detailed User Manual. 2.1 Plugging in the AC Adapter Before using your Gmini 200 for the fi rst time, completely charge the internal batteries. • Use ONLY the included ARCHOS charger/adapter. The ARCHOS charger/ adapter has a special USB tip which you will plug into the USB port. Charging will start automatically when it is plugged in. The batteries are fully charged when the full battery icon appears. • Empty battery: The battery is uncharged. It must be charged. Animated battery: The battery is currently being charged. Full battery: The battery is completely charged and the AC adapter can by unplugged. • After the fi rst initial full charge, you may use the Gmini while the AC adapter is plugged in. 2.2 Turning on the Gmini • Hold down the POWER button until the screen comes on, then let off. • • If your Gmini is charging, click the PLAY button to turn it on. If the Gmini shows an empty battery icon or if the Gmini displays nothing at all, you will have to plug in the Archos adapter/charger to make sure the batteries get charged. 2.3 Changing the user interface language English is selected as the default language for your Gmini user interface. You can choose another language as explained in chapter 4.2.6. s n o i t c e n n o C d n a s n o t t u B , s t r o P 6 A Mini USB 2.0 port (USB 1.1 compatible) B USB Power Adapter C Power – To power the unit and charge the internal batteries with the AC adapter. e g a s U e m T t s r i F i 7
2.4 Shutting off the Gmini and Battery saving features • • To shut off the unit, press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds. If left idle, the screen’s blue backlight will shut off after 20 seconds in order to save battery power. After 30 seconds, the screen display will shut off, also to save energy. Finally, the Gmini will shut itself off completely after 3 minutes if left idle and no music is playing. You can change these settings under [Setup Power]. 2.5 Caring for the Gmini The Gmini is an electronic product that needs to be treated with care. • Do not subject it to shock. You may however go jogging with it or do sports. • Do not subject it to heat. Keep it ventilated. Be careful that the surface it is on, is a fl at clear surface. Placing the Gmini on a pillow, blanket, carpet, or wrapped up to protect it will restrict the necessary ventilation that it needs. This increase in operating temperature may cause damage to the device. • Keep the Gmini away from water and excessively humid areas. • Keep the Gmini away from high electromagnetic fi elds. • Keep it plugged into the Archos AC adapter/charger when it is connected to your computer. e g a s U e m T t s r i F i 8 User Interface Overview 3 3.1 Main Menu Once the Gmini has been turned on, the following screen is displayed. This is the main menu screen from which you can select the main functions. • Music: browse through your music fi les or use the ARCLibrary music selection system. • Browser: browse through and manage all the fi les on your Gmini. • Photo: display photos (JPEG) and view photo information. • Recorder: record from any music source (Stereo, portable • players, etc.) or from the built-in microphone. Setup: set the parameters of your Gmini to your personal taste. 3.2 Familiarizing yourself with the interface 3.2.1 Main menu Each icon corresponds to a mode. Use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN buttons to navigate from one icon to another. Press OK to select the icon and start the action. Press Esc to exit. 3.2.2 Browser Use the UP and DOWN keys to highlight the item of your choice. If you keep pressing UP or DOWN, the list will scroll for you to see the other items. The vertical black indicator on the right shows your relative position in the entire list. Press OK to start the action corresponding to the highlighted item. w e i v r e v O e c a f r e t n I r e s U 9
3.2.3 Settings screen 3.2.5 Message boxes Selectable items: use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to change the parameter value. The new value is immediately taken into account so there is no need to press OK. Click on ESC when done. From time to time a message box is displayed on the screen. This may be a warning or an error message, or a question to confi rm an action. Message boxes may have up to 3 buttons (for instance yes, no and cancel). If there is more than one button use the left and right keys to highlight the button you want. In all cases press OK to validate your choice which will then exit the message box. Check boxes: each checkbox corresponds to a different parameter value but only one parameter can be selected at a time. Use the UP and DOWN keys to highlight an item and then press OK to validate it. Click on ESC when done. 3.2.6 Using the Virtual Keyboard It is recommended that you create folders and rename fi les or folders from your computer when it is connected to the Gmini. The computer keyboard is easier to use. Often times, however, you are not near your computer and you would like to enter the text directly with the Gmini. For this, you will use the virtual keyboard. You will be taken to this screen when you rename a fi le or folder or when you name a recording. Actions: in the settings screens you sometimes need to perform some actions. Actions are shown enclosed with [ ]. Press OK to start the action. 3.2.4 Contextual Menus Contextual Menu Current text being typed Cursor Toggle between uppercase and lowercase characters* Back Space* Clear the entire line* Enter* When the menu icon is present on the top-left corner of the screen you can press the MENU button to display a popup menu with actions related to the current mode. Pressing MENU again or ESC closes it. Use the UP and DOWN keys to highlight the action you want to start and then press OK to validate it. * these items can also be found in the contextual menu You will use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN buttons to move around the keyboard. Click on OK/PLAY to enter the character that is highlighted. Once satisfi ed with your text entry, click on the MENU button and select Enter. Tip: use the ESC key to cancel any changes you made and exit the virtual keyboard. 3.2.7 Locking the Gmini Buttons You can prevent the Gmini from executing unintended functions by locking the buttons. To lock the buttons, hold down on the MENU key until the “lock” icon appears in the top-left corner of the screen. Now all buttons except the MENU key are disabled. To unlock the buttons hold down again on the Menu key until the “lock” icon disappears. w e i v r e v O e c a f r e t n I r e s U 11 w e i v r e v O e c a f r e t n I r e s U 10
Using the Gmini 200 4 4.1 Playing music 4.1.1 Selecting a song There are two ways to access your music. You can either access your songs by browsing through the folders, where you keep your music fi les, or you can choose from Artist, Album, Genre, or Song. Browsing through the folders Click the OK/PLAY button on the highlighted “Browse hard drive”. You will be sent directly to the Music folder of your Gmini. This is a fi ltered access to browse the hard disk. Here you can look at all your music fi les and the folders on your Gmini’s hard drive as if you were browsing fi les with a computer. You will only see audio fi les types that are playable on the Gmini (MP3, WMA, WAV). To select a fi le you can use the UP and DOWN keys to move upwards or downwards and OK to enter a highlighted subfolder. See chapter 4.3 for more information about using the Browser. Using the ARCLibrary System You can search your music by artist, album, song name, genre. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to scroll to your selection and then click on OK. Once one of these is chosen, you will see an alphabetical list. You can now choose the Album, Artist, or song Title (depending which search type you started) that you desire. If you add music to your Gmini, you will need to use MusicMatch™ to update the ARCLibrary in order for it to take into account the newly acquired music. See section 6.4.1 for details. 4.1.2 Playing a song When you get to your desired song, click on PLAY/OK. If you hear nothing at fi rst, make sure you have adjusted the volume control on the headphone cord. 0 0 2 i i n m G e h t g n i s U Menu available Status: Paused Play Mode: One Directory Play Order Volume Artist* or parent folder Song title* or file name Album* or current folder File format and recording information Time of Day Battery level Right and Left VU Meters Song elapsed time Song time remaining Song Length *If the MP3 fi le contains these ID3 tag data Play Status Stopped Playing a track Current track is paused Recording a track Play Order (no icon) Play once Shuffl e (Random) track selection Repeat playing Play Mode Playlist: Gmini is currently playing from a Playlist Folder: Play all tracks in the current directory All: Play all tracks on Gmini Single: Play a single track then stop Queue: User can queue the next track to be played Scan: Gmini plays fi rst 15 seconds of each track Playback contextual menu • Setup: displays the setup screen (same as selecting the Setup icon in the main menu) Edit Playlist: enters the playlist editor (see below for how to use playlists). • • Browser: allows to browse through your fi les while playing. 0 0 2 i i n m G e h t g n i s U 12 13
4.1.3 Using Playlists A Playlist is a list of songs that the Gmini will automatically play one after the other. The Gmini can handle one Playlist at a time. You can create new Playlists, add or delete songs from a Playlist, or Save a Playlist as a fi le (fi le type .m3u) to be used another time. There is no limit to the number of Playlists you can save on the Gmini hard drive. Playing a Playlist There are two ways to play a Playlist. 1) Press the RIGHT key to go into the Playlist edition window. Then use the UP and DOWN keys to select which song you want to start with. 2) In the Playlist window press MENU to display the contextual menu and select START PLAYLIST. The Gmini starts playing from the fi rst track of the playlist. Creating a new Playlist To create a Playlist, press the RIGHT button while you are in the Music browser. A second panel is opened on the right side to display the Playlist contents (shown empty in the picture). You can now start adding songs to the current Playlist. In the left window, search for the songs you would like to add to your Playlist. Once the song is highlighted, click on the OK/PLAY button to add it to the Playlist. The song will be added to the Playlist and a small mark is placed next to the music note icon to indicate that it is now in the Playlist. Continue searching and adding songs in this manner until you are satisfi ed. You can jump back and forth anytime between the two windows by clicking the LEFT/RIGHT buttons. A Playlist can have a maximum of 1000 songs in it. We recommend that you save your Playlists to the Gmini hard drive (see below) to be used again later. You can also add all the music fi les of a complete folder in one operation by highlighting the desired folder, pressing MENU to display the contextual menu, and then selecting either ADD TO PLAYLIST or INSERT TO PLAYLIST. Watch which window you are in since the left window menu has different options than the right window menu. Loading a Playlist You can load a previously saved Playlist or add the fi les it contains to the current Playlist. Use the music browser to select the Playlist of your choice (Playlists are indicated by a special list icon) and then press OK. If there were already some items in the Gmini Playlist, then the songs of the loaded Playlist will be added to the end of it. You can then check or modify the Playlist as usual in the Playlist window. 0 0 2 i i n m G e h t g n i s U 14 Playlist contextual menu description • • Start Playlist: starts playing the fi rst track of the playlist. Save Playlist: saves the current Playlist onto the hard drive so that it can be reloaded later. It will be saved into the directory which is open in the left window. You should navigate in the left window to your Playlist folder before saving. • Rename Playlist: changes the name of the current Playlist • with the virtual keyboard. Shuffl e Playlist: randomly changes the order of the items in the current Playlist . • Clear Playlist: remove all tracks from the current Playlist. • Move Track: changes the position of the current track within the Playlist. The current track is then displayed with a double arrow icon. Use the UP and DOWN keys to move the selected track and press OK to validate the new position. • Delete Track: removes the highlighted track from the playlist. Important: Once you save a Playlist it is important that you do not move the actual MP3 fi les as the Playlist searches in the original fi le location. If you need to move your MP3 fi les to a different folder, you’ll have to recreate your Playlists. 4.1.4 What is an .m3u fi le? Example of the contents of the .m3u Playlist fi le ‘Jazz Music’ You can open a Playlist fi le (Playlistname.m3u) on your computer with a text editor such as Notepad or SimpleText (Macintosh®), and you will see that it is merely a list of fi les to be played along with the hard disk path to fi nd them. If you delete a Playlist from your Gmini, you are only deleting the list and not the music itself. Because a Playlist includes the path to the music fi le (as shown in the example Playlist fi le above), you have to remember that if you change the location of a music fi le, then the path to it in the Playlist will be incorrect, and the Gmini will not play the song (because it can’t fi nd it). Thus it is important to create a clean directory structure and not change where your fi les are located. Either that or just delete your Playlist and create a new one. 0 0 2 i i n m G e h t g n i s U 15
