Customer Reviews:

AV320 Good, but AV420 Great.......2004-12-19

When I first purchased my av320 a while back I thought it was a good product. The AV420 is leaps and bounds above the 320. First off the loading times for photos are much faster - almost twice so. The built in CF slot is also a nice feature. When viewing images on a standard television the quality is much better than the previous unit.

Loading video is much faster as well, and playback is in true DVD resolution.
and the following link is a great tool for getting your DVDs onto the AV420

Music playback is great and the new smaller size of the unit makes it more portable.

No matter how you get one of these multimedia players, I'm sure anyone looking for a top quality product of this nature will not be disappointed. Definitely consider the AV420 as well, the price difference may be worth it to you.

Caveat Emptor:Poor Quality Control-Horrible Customer Service.......2004-12-15

Anyone considering purchasing this or any Archos product should be aware that based on my experience (4 Archos jukeboxes) their quality control is spotty at best. This used to be bearable because they used to have a fairly liberal warranty policy and would repair or exchange defective products no questions asked. That has changed. Now you have to go through an elaborate process of providing documentation of purchase, mailing the unit back at your own expense, insured, and waiting in silence while they decide what to do. In my case the little joystick that is the key control of the unit fell off. When I returned the AV320 to them for repair (they would not simply send me the part) they decided to keep the 80 gb hard drive I had installed in my AV320. Because they claim installing the drive voided the warranty they now say that they will not return MY drive to me unless I pay them $125 for the repair. Won't take back the replacement they sent me, won't send me a replacement part, won't give me my property back. Worst customer service I've ever seen. I think it would be a serious mistake to buy anything from them.

So much better than an Ipod.......2004-12-08

When I first started researching mp3 players I was drawn to both this one and the RCA Lyra. I loved that I could play movies on either one of these instead of just music, like the Ipod. Although the Archos is slightly larger than the RCA Lyra, I think the Archos is a much better find. I've had mine for about 8 months and I love it! I bought it so that I could watch movies or listen to music on the bus for long rides instead of puling out my laptop and this has performed in every way possible. Archos has also updated the software for the player and posted it on their site so the operating system can be updated.

All of the reviews I read before buying said the controls were very confusing at first, I didn't think so. I liked that fact that there was a joystick-like cursor. I also love the DVR attachment becuase if I wanted to I could record movies or Tv shows and take them with me.

I already have almost 2,500 songs on it, 6 movies, and lots of pictures on it and have barely made a dent in the 20GB. One of the other things that really drew me to the Archos was that both the battery and the harddrive could be replaced, unlike an Ipod.

But, the major selling point on the Archos was the AVcam. This is another attachment that turns the player into both a digital camera and a digital video camera. I love this part! I'm not a big picture taker so I wasn't looking for any high powered, high megapixel, super fast camera and this one works fine for me. The pictures turn out great and this video on the player is wonderful. The one disappointment about the camera is that it doens't take very good night pictures but if you change the setting to "flurescent" it works much better. I know that Archos is no longer making the AVcams but if you can find one and just want a simple digital camera I would highly recommend that.

After using this for a few months I have just a few complaints. When watching a movie during the day sometimes the screen is hard to see, but I guess that happens with all screens. Also, the missing case was a little bit of an issue becuase I used to throw this in my backback but when I bought the AVcam it came with a really nice case, otherwise use a PDA screen protector, they are the perfect size. My last complaint is about the AVcam becuase it takes forever to boot up into camera mode but as long as your not using it to take action shots it's fine.

Overall, even though it is larger than the other digital players on the market, I would say this is well worth the money.

Waste of money.......2004-11-08

Do not buy this!!!
It craps out in about a year, of course once the warranty is up.
Like several other people, mine doesn't turn on unless it wants to and it shuts off when it wants to. The battery life also lasts about 10 min. after four days of charging it. From the time I got it to now, it kept getting worse and worse. It is nowhere near the money that this thing is going for. Buy an ipod or something sturdy with good battery life. If you really want video, wait awhile until better video technology comes out, because you can only watch video on this in mpeg4, which is hard to encode and doesn't get a good picture.

AV320 Does Exactly What it is supposed to do!!.......2004-11-04

After reading so many of the poor reviews I wanted to through my hands up and scream. You people must have got hold of bad equipment,damaged it somehow or are just generally clueless. I've had mine for a month. I backed up my entire hard drive from my laptop on the AV320. I plug it into my TV and record old Seinfeld and Raymond shows...or Chapell's Show or South Park. I plug it into the DVD and record full lenght movies to take with me when I travel. I've already dumped my punny 500 song collection from my Dell DJ to the AV320 and I have tons of room to spare. Now, granted it gets complicated if you want to rip a DVD to AVI on your computer to later pull over to the AV320, but there are legions of 3rd party software out there on the market that make if doable if not exactly fun.

Stop your caterwauling or donate your device to a smart person today. (FYI I'm just having some fun with you here...no need to bomb my email or anything ;)

Awesome radio.......2004-08-22

I have had a few Aiwa small radios along with other brands. But this one is the best. It's amazing how much they pack into in way of features. It's so light and small, I don't know I even have it with me.

Get This Hard Drive!.......2007-02-19

This is a very good hard drive. It is whisper quiet. I have never had a single problem. I disagree with the other review who said you couldn't turn this hard drive off. You push in on the power button and hold it a couple of seconds and it goes off. You will not be dissapointed with this Hard Drive!!

a pretty good basic external hard drive.......2006-07-26

It's a pretty decent external hard drive. USB 2.0 connection seems a little slow when transferring large files, and the drive won't turn off unless it's physically unplugged from the host computer. Other than that, it's very reliable, and a pretty good bargain for the storage capacity.
