All wrong.......2004-12-28

Listen to this, I am an old amazon customer, I send the request for buying the product and a week later the company sends me an email telling me that the product is out of stock and they dont sell it anymore!!! Bad for you Amazon for still showing it in your place!!!

A versatile tool for the electronic age.......2004-11-25

I've had mine now for about six months. I never read the instructions have had no problems getting it to do what I want. I have around 100 CD's stored on it for listening to music with headphones or by plugging into a stereo or a stereo TV. I also have my own movies from my camcorder on it for easy sharing. Lately, I've figured out how to rip DVDs and store them on the unit for watching on the road or by plugging into a television. The quality is quite impressive. It took some time to learn how to convert DVDs into a useable format, but it is quite satisfying, now that I can do it. Don't ask me how, figure it out yourself; it's part of the fun.

Not Everything Can be Perfect (apart from me)!.......2004-10-26

Im a kid so i had to save for ages to buy the light of my life, my archos av340!I'd read looooads of reviews on the thing and it all seemed fab!
Getting music on to it is a piece of cake, and so is movies, providing you are doing it via your tv- I am still clueless as to how to use all that software to digitally convert your dvds.???????
Movie quality is really really good- all my mates are really chuffed- and the sound is perfect. Mp3 player is fantastic too- dont go wasting your money on a common, mere ipod!! everyone has one of those! stand out from the crowd and impress those people who havent heard of an mp4 player! (really good to flash about at school! every one gets jealous!!!)
My one and only complaint about it is the battery. 8 hours????!!!! i do not think so!!!!! im lucky to get an hour out of mine!!! reaally peeving when you are watching a good movie, eg.(lord of the rings)
Enjoy!!! i am!!!!!!!!

Horrible Warranty.......2004-09-04

I bought the AV340 on June 30, 2004. I even purchased a 2yr extended warranty from the retailer I bought it from. On August 23rd, I found that the screen image shifted to the left by 1" I called techsupport for assistance. Before I could explain what the problem was I was placed on hold for at least 3 minutes. The tech came back and told be that I had dropped it and it was not covered under warranty. I was mad. First I treated the unit with great care. I had not dropped or in any way treated the unit roughly. I asked for the manager. After about 5 minutes a supervisor came on the line. He read what the tech had written which was not what I had told him the problem was, and he began to tell me that I had dropped the unit. Boy was I annoyed. After I explained that the unit had not been dropped and that the problem must be with the video card as every thing else worked fine. I got an RMA#. I followed all the detailed instructions on how to return the unit. I just got a call from the Tech supervisor telling me that I must have droped the unit for it to behave the way it does and they are refusing to honor the warranty. I just paid nearly $600 for a device that I have hardly used. A device that I have taken the greatest care of and now I am being told that my warranty is not going to be honored. I asked to talk to his manager. I was told he was not available. I was given his email address. I asked for the name, number and address of the president of the company. The tech supervisor refused to give it to me, and told me that I could quote him on it.

I had read all the negative review on the ARCHOS AV series technical support and felt that there must be some exaggeration.... was I wrong. I can't believe it. What can I do??? Am I out $600?? Do I complain to the better business bureau, which one??

All I can say is beware if you are thinking of buying an ARCHOS AV, you could end up like me spending a lot of money and being told that they will not honor their warranty because you created the problem. It seems to me that from the start the tech was told to say that the problem was caused by me and that the company would not take responsibility for a defective product. I still can't believe it. When it comes to ARCHOS Caveat emporum!

Too many flaws mar a great feature set.......2004-08-25

I've had mine for less than a year and the internal non-replaceable battery has degraded significantly. I've recharged the battery probably ~100 times total, since I don't use this thing every day. In the beginning I used to get about 2 hours of video playback (encoded at 1.5Mbps) and around 5 hours of continuous MP3 playback (at 128kbps). But now, not even a year later, I get no more than 30 minutes of video usage and a miserable 1-2 hours of audio. This is just very disheartening considering I paid almost $700 for this thing last year.

The other big complaint I have is the user interface, which is totally confusing. To erase a file, for example, you have to press four different buttons. To use the MP3 playlist, you'll need to pull your hair out. JPEG files take forever to display on this.

The big plus side, is you have true video-on-the-go. Unlike portable DVD players, this is almost pocketable and people can't look over your shoulder to see what you are watching, so great for adult-themed content.

I simply don't understand the people behind Archos. They have great ideas, but are really dumb when it comes to implementation. Their new AV400 doesn't look that much better, either, and it's even bigger and heavier than this!

5.1-channel analog inputs bring compatibility with high-resolution SACD and DVD-Audio components

ASIN: B00006587F

Product Description

The RX-6020VBK provides high-performance without the high price point. With 100 watts per channel for all 5 channels, the RX-6010VBK has the power necessary for today's demanding digital movie soundtracks. This receiver also comes complete with Dolby Pro Logic II and 5.1 inputs to make the feature packed receiver more impressive. By using all discrete output devices, rather than inexpensive ICs, the RX-6020VBK ensures greater clarity, low distortion and wide dynamic range.

Amazon.com Product Description

JVC's 5.1-channel RX-6020VBK provides an affordable path to exciting stereo and home-theater audio. CDs and DVDs will sound fabulous with the receiver's 100 watts per channel power (across all five main channels). The unit also features Dolby Pro Logic II processing (which derives 5.1-channel sound from any stereo source) and 5.1-channel analog inputs (which accommodate high-resolution sources like SACD and DVD-Audio). It's a full-featured tuner, too, providing 30 FM and 15 AM station presets.

The RX-6020VBK delivers clarity, low distortion, and wide dynamic range through its discrete output devices (JVC's alternative to inexpensive ICs). In addition to standard Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround decoding, the RX-6020VBK also offers JVC's Digital Acoustics Processing (DAP) with five preset sound fields that digitally recreate the ambient effects of different venues right in a living room.

For connections, the receiver has two composite-video inputs and outputs, multiple analog audio inputs, and two assignable digital-audio inputs (one optical, one coaxial). A line-level subwoofer output passes the LFE signal on to an independently powered subwoofer. Routing DVD player's and VCR's audio and video signals to the receiver before sending them on to your TV simplifies AV source switching, since you can do it all with the receiver's remote rather than having to switch inputs on a receiver and television.

Other conveniences include a supplied unified AV remote control and JVC's enhanced COMPU LINK Control System, which greatly simplifies operation when the receiver is used in concert with other JVC equipment.

Incredible and Affordable!.......2003-04-04

I purchased this receiver to complement my recent purchase of a JVC XV-FA900BK 7-disc DVD player, an older model 200-CD player, a 6-CD player, a VCR and a WEBTV browser. At the time I bought these 2 new JVC items, the reviews for the 7-disc DVD player were 2 stars out of 5, based on only 6 reviews (a bad choice if you believe reviews), and 5 stars out of 5 (based on only 1 review) for the receiver (again, not something on which to base a purchase). I opted, however, to base my choice on my past experience with the JVC brand, rather than on the small number of reviews which made up these ratings. The consistency of quality of JVC products has proven itself to me on at least 5 separate occasions in the past, so I followed my instincts. This proved to be the right decision. The capabilities and versatility of both the 7-disc DVD player and this receiver, especially considering the price tags, is nothing less than astounding! The receiver can be fine tuned, through it's multitude of internal adjustments, to perform and sound fantastic, in any size or shape of room and any furnishings (excluding, of course, a large auditorium). These internal adjustments cover an entire array of up to 5 separate speaker stations-- or as few as 2-- and also are adjustable with respect to speaker size and distance of separation as well as tonality and crossover. WOW! For the price, I'm certain I've not heard a better audio/video receiver-- not one! Enough said. Both units get the top rating from me!!!

Amazon.com Product Description

The Kodak Advantix T550 Gift Box camera Outfit comes with the camera, one roll of Kodak Advantix color print film, a 3-volt lithium Kodak battery, coupon book, survey card, instruction manual, and a detachable camera strap with control-button activator.

The specially designed flash flips up to put extra distance between flash and lens to help eliminate red-eye problems, and flips down to turn off the camera and protect the lens.

Film loading, as with any APS camera, is drop-in simple, and you can change film canisters midway through a roll. Users choose between three print formats on every shot. Users can also date-stamp and add messages to the back of prints with a five-language print-titling feature. Also included is a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Customer Reviews:

Advantix t550 a great buy!.......2001-05-05

This camera is great! It comes "ready to roll", film, batteries, it also has a convenient pouch. This camera is sleek, it fits in the palm of your hand, you could even carry it in your pocket. It has red eye reduction and the all glass lens is well protected by the flash/lens cover. I had a FUJI camera that drove me nuts, the batteries would run out all the time, and the film would get stuck, oh the pictures I lost! But with the Advantix T550 you will not have that problem because it saves your battery. You also have the option to add titles to your picturesand dates, for great memories. Like they say; "best things come in small packages" and honestly this is one of them.

The Kodak Carousel 4200 projector gives you sharp, bright images and quiet, dependable operation. It accepts 2-by-2-inch slides in either 80- or 140- slide trays. Its safety thermal fuses protect the projector from overheating while the slide prewarmer prevents the slides from "popping." The carousel tray allows you to load slides quickly and gives you access to all slides at all times. When no slide is being projected, the dark screen shutter latch automatically masks the light. The remote control lets you scan forward and in reverse, as well as adjust the focus, without having to leave your seat. You can adjust the projection level up to 16 degrees. The projector comes with a full one-year warranty. Lens not included with projector.

Generally Satisfied.......2004-01-18

Projector arrived on time and in excellent condition. This model does not have an automatic/remote focusing feature, which means the operator must adjust focus manually at projector. There is, however, a corded remote slide advancer. Apart from these model shortcomigs, this projector is easy-to-use and reliable, just as we have come to expect Kodak carousels to be.

Kodak Carousel 4200 Projector.......2003-02-08

Delivery took 8 days. Item operates smoothly and quietly.
Anyone looking for a basic slide projector would be satisfied with the 4200. Be sure to note that you will also need to purchase a lens.

Bad Customer Service.......2002-03-29

Don't be mis-led by "Usually Ships In 24 Hours". I ordered this unit by credit card. Took them 6 days to process the order. Then took another 4 days in transit. When I received the unit it was missing the focusing lens rendering it totally useless. Now I have to return it, 4 days transit, wait until they process the return, 6 to 10 days, then another 4 days transit. Hopefully, the replacement will have all the parts to it. If you really need this item, buy it elsewhere.
