Dear Customer,
ARCHOS thanks you for the purchase of this exciting multimedia product. Never before has
one been able to carry with him or her so much information, be it MP3 music, MP4 videos or
JPEG pictures, and be able to play these without a computer. We are sure that your Jukebox
Multimedia will give you years of listening and viewing enjoyment. Of course you can
always use it as a regular hard drive too. Please check our web site also as we periodically
update the Jukebox Multimedia’s internal operating software to offer new features.

The ARCHOS TEAM
PS. Don’t forget to check out the Flash™ interactive manual on the CD-ROM.

The Jukebox Multimedia 20, 120 and AV140
With the introduction of the Jukebox Multimedia 120 Series, ARCHOS takes the next step in
performance. The 120 & AV140 behave much like the original Multimedia 20 but have a
built-in USB 2.0 connection and a more powerful processor thus increasing performance of
CPU intensive tasks such as video decoding. The interface is basically the same with only a
few minor differences. Below is a table highlighting the functional differences between the
Multimedia 20 and 120/AV140. See the PDF manual on CD for more technical details.

1. Starting up
1) Charge the batteries
Use only the included ARCHOS charger/adapter
Before using for the first time, charge the batteries for a full three hours
You may use the Jukebox Multimedia after the first half hour of charging though this will increase
the charging time. Take this initial 30 minutes to read through this Quick Start Guide and the
complete manual on the included CD-ROM.
2) Turning it on and shutting off
Hold the ON button for five seconds. The red light will go on and the operating system will boot
up.
If the unit shuts off after holding the ON button for several seconds, make sure the batteries are
charged or that the adapter/charger is plugged in
If you accidentally hold the ON button on once it has started, you will send the video signal to the
video out port and the screen will go blank. Hold the ON button again for 3 seconds to return to
the built-in screen.
3) Shut down and battery saving feature
To shut off the unit, press and hold the OFF button for 3 seconds
In the settings menu there is an auto shutdown parameter. It is factory set to 2 minutes. Thus, if
your Jukebox Multimedia is idle for 2 minutes, it will shut off. You can change this setting.
In the settings menu there is an auto screen-off parameter to save battery power (the lighting of the
screen takes a lot of the battery power). It is factory set to 30 seconds. Click any button to have
the screen redisplay. You can change this setting.
4) Change the Language
The Jukebox Multimedia menus can be set to English (default), French, or German.
To change language click [F1] ‘setup’
Then scroll to [Settings]and click the Play button
Scroll down until you reach ‘Language’
Click the Right or Left button to find your language of choice
Click [F1] ‘back’ two times to return to the main browser screen
