Your ARCHOS 704 WIFI can connect to a variety of wireless networks, thus enabling you to browse 

the Internet or share and play files from other computers.

Once you set up your ARCHOS to communicate over WiFi to your home network (explained in the sections 

below), some very neat possibilities open up. You may have heard of streaming media. This is when a media 

file such as music or video is on one computer, but yet you play it on another computer without having cop-

ied it over first.  
With this ARCHOS 704 WIFI device, you can set it in your living room for example, hook it up to your home 

entertainment system with the optional DVR Station, and play movies or music stored on your desktop PC.

To do this, set your PC folders containing your music and videos to ‘shared’ by right-clicking on the folder and 

selecting ‘sharing’. Now, on your ARCHOS, open the 

 from the Home Screen and select 

. 

If you have configured your WiFi connection properly, you should see your computer’s name appear. When 

you open this up, you will see all your shared folders.  
Just go into a folder, choose a video or audio file, and start playing it! This is especially useful when you have 

a large library of music and video and you cannot fit it all onto the internal hard drive of the ARCHOS.
