Archos 605 Wifi - can I connect it to a TV?

I have an Archos 605 wifi with several movies loaded as avi files. Anyone know if I can connect the Archos to an LCD TV and watch movies streaming from the player to the TV?

You need to buy the dock to be able to do that

The 'battery dock' will let you do that too - it's cheaper than the full sized dock.

You need a 3.5mm to 3 RCA lead, that will do it fine. The headphone jack also has a video output.

At least this works on my Archos 604, but they shouldn't have changed that feature. You just need to connect it, the press the TV/LCD button.

This is what I use:

I realise that this is a very late reply, but yes...you can buy a Gen 5 docking station will allow you to connect the output of your 605 to a TV and the input to a Sky box or similar to record direct from source.

The Docking station will also act as a charger and a USB station. It will cost about £50 and is a worthwhile buy as it enhances the capability of your 605.

The docking station can be bought at most reputable Archos dealers...this is just an example:

No idea, but 604 is fine for me. Had it a year on September 1 and not had one single problem. Can get them quite cheap now.

I had one for 6 months, and yes, even after all the firmware updates.
