3.8 Locking the Archos™ 104 Buttons
You can prevent the Archos™ 104 from executing unintended functions by
locking the buttons. To lock the buttons, hold down on the MENU button
until the “lock” icon appears in the top-left corner of the screen. Now the
buttons are disabled, but you can still use the UP and DOWN controls on
the navigation pad to change the volume. To unlock the buttons hold down
again on the Menu button until the “lock” icon disappears.

The Synchronize button in Windows Media® Player (WMP) is a one way ‘sync’ button.
That is, it will add music and photo fi les to your Archos™ 104 so that you have the
same digital media on your Archos™ 104 as you have in your Windows Media® Player
media library. Of course, you can choose to sync only certain songs or photos, or
sync your entire library. On WMP10, you can click the button
Set up Sync in the Sync tab and then check the box labeled Synchronize Device
Automatically. This is the auto-sync advantage of WMP10. If this box is checked,
then each time you connect your Archos™ 104 to your PC, Windows Media® Player
will automatically start up and check to see if there is any new music or photos in your media library, and if so,
will then copy them to your Archos™ 104. On the other hand, with Windows Media® Player 9, you have to tell it
what you want to sync, WMP9 cannot synchronize automatically when you connect your Archos™ 104 to your
computer.
Note for WMP10 users: Files added to your Archos™ 104 from another computer cannot be added to the
Windows Media® Player Library when you connect your Archos™ 104 to the computer. Songs which have been
added, will however, be listed in the device’s ARCLibrary.
