4 out of 5 stars nice player.......2007-05-15

I have had a very good experience with the playback on this player. The sound quality goes down when you use headphones that adjust volume on the cable, so I would recommend using headphones that don't. Only issue I have is that the 700 uses a different size power cable than every other model and I could not find a replacement on the archos website (which isn't the easiest to navigate) and calling on the phone wasn't very effective either... I guess the company is geared to the advanced users, but geeks lose power cables too right?

5 out of 5 stars AV700 Beats a Laptop or Portable DVD Player.......2007-01-24

I have used a laptop and portible dvd player to view videos and prefer my AV700 to both hands down. The unit is about the size of a paperback book. It turns on in seconds. The screen in no different from the LCD on a laptop or dvd player. For convience, it is unmatched. On a Windows computer with XP, the unit is recognized as an extra hard drive making it easy to drag and drop video and music files. During playback of a movie, you can easily "mark" where you stop and the unit can return to that point when you it turn back on. I keep about 30 movies on it at any one time and still have room to spare. The unit works seamlessly with Amazon's video download service. When transferring a file, Windows will tell you if the file is not compatible with the unit and refer you to Windows Media Player, which will convert and download files for you. All in all, using this is a "no brainer". It's easily the best gift I've received in years.

5 out of 5 stars Mobile PVR.......2007-01-19

This is a great unit. Got it to record movies for the kids. Replace portable dvd units that last usually less than a year. Great product. Only bad thing is battery does not last as long as I would like for it but I no worse than anything else in this size.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful product AV700.......2007-01-11

Seems me that is an excellent product he which will be me of great utility.

5 out of 5 stars *** AWESOME ***.......2007-01-10

I purchased this item for myself with my Christmas bonus. My brother turned me on to Archos a while ago. He bought his wife a unit that just displays pics and plays music. While exploring their site I came across the AV700 and realized that this was the one for me!! Since it's more costly, I've waited til now to purchase - it was soooo worth the wait!! I love this thing!! I've downloaded movies, music, pics and also DVR'd TV shows & movies. I use mine mostly to watch stuff and you can easily view your downloads or DVR's on the screen. The initial set-up of the different downloads (music, pics, movies, dvr) is not the best, takes a few times of going over the directions (which are minimal at best) to get the hang of it. But once you've mastered them, it's very simple. Also, it was great that it came with all the accessories needed. My husband was so impressed with mine, that he had me go back online and order up one for him!!
