Archos AV480 80GB MP3/MP4 Player/Recorder with Video Recorder Cradle

Archos AV480 80GB MP3/MP4 Player/Recorder with Video Recorder Cradle


Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Geared towards families, TV enthusiasts and gadget lovers, the Pocket Video Recorder AV400 experience starts in the living room where you can record television shows and movies directly from a TV, VCR, or cable/satellite receiver with a convenient one-time set-up TV Cradle. At the same time, the AV400 takes personal entertainment enjoyment far beyond the living room, where consumers can watch videos and view photos on a large colour LCD screen, listen to and record music, and transfer photos from a digital camera and data files from a PC or Macintosh.

The Pocket Video Recorder AV400 was designed with consumer ease of use in mind and presents many new features unseen in a portable video player, including a sleek and small design, 20-gigabyte to 100-gigabyte hard disk capacity, removable battery for extended life (20-gigabyte version), one-time set-up TV Cradle, an external speaker for enjoying music and video without headphones, best video playback quality 1 , and a built-in Compact Flash reader for transferring photos directly from digital cameras. These new features make the AV400 a uniquely powerful device, yet slim, light and easy to use.

Portable Entertainment Starts with the Pocket Digital Video Recorder
To be placed on or near the TV set, the TV Cradle is a docking station for the AV400 that allows you to record directly from a TV, VCR or cable/satellite tuner. Once the TV Cradle is connected to the TV, VCR or cable/satellite receiver for the first time, you will not have to reconnect the cables again, just dock the AV400 and you are ready to record or view your files on the TV. The AV400 Recording Scheduler directly controls the tuner inside your VCR or cable/satellite receiver to automatically adjust the channel and record based on the time and duration of the schedule. Further, the AV400 Scheduler will synchronize with Yahoo TV Guide (where available) from the Internet so you can prepare your recordings for the week or month in advance.

Far More than a Portable Music Player with Video, Photos, Music and More
The new Pocket Video Recorder AV400 allows you to:

Record and Play Back Video: Record between 80 and up to 400 hours of TV programs and video content, or between 40 and up to 200 2 full-length movies in MPEG-4 video, at DVD quality and with CD quality stereo sound. Listen with a built-in speaker or headphones.

Schedule Video Recording: Program recordings using the Recording Scheduler, which directly controls the VCR or set-top box tuner to schedule and automatically record TV programming.

Enjoy a Large, Colour LCD Screen: The AV400 features a high-resolution, 3.5-inch or 3.8- inch colour LCD screen 3 or view directly on a TV, PC or other video output device.

Record and Listen to Music: The newly designed music player lets you record between 300 and up to 1500 3 hours of music, with playback in MP3, WMA or WAV formats using a built-in speaker or headphones. The ARCHOS ARClibrary software automatically tags tracks for easy viewing and organization.

Store and Manage Photos: Store and view hundreds of thousands 3 of JPEG photos on the AV400, and view as a slide show. Instantly transfer photos from computers using USB 2.0 or from memory cards using the built-in CompactFlash" reader. The Pocket Video Recorder AV400 can also support SD, MMC, SmartMedia", Memory Stick ® or Memory Stick Pro thanks to the optional 4-in adapter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Now its Gone, 14 Nov 2004
By A Customer
As a gadget lover buying the Archos 480 was an easy decision to make. The feature set is amazing.After unwrapping, connecting the power and whizzing around the menus my suspicion that the iPOD is a dinosaur was confirmed. The addition of an amazing LCD screen with easy to use TV, DVD and JPEG image handling brings the Archos into a higher league. Unfortunately, after an overnight charge, my new archos could only manage about 3 mins without the mains power. Duff batteries - so back to the shop for an exchange unit. The second unit had no charging issues and the manufacturers portable stamina claims were proved accurate once i stopped contantly navigating the menus. Next came the hard work of trying to fill that vast 80 gig with some of my music, movies and holiday snaps. Music played well as do DVDs and TV recordings but my JPEGs looked pixelated on the screen. The 640X480 demo images on the unit look beautiful but my 4MP Casio Exilim Z4 pics look poorer quality?During the first few weeks I managed to use about 15G of space so you can imagine my dismay when mid WMA file playback it threw a fit and corrupted about half the data on the hard drive - including the whole music library.I returned unit no2 to the shop again and was a little suprised to hear that every 480 they have sold has been returned. That dampened my enthusiasm to have another.In the end i'm happy to have the money back in my pocket.When it works its awesome, but all fellow gadget lovers will understand the distress and grief that an unreliable product can cause.I'm not rich enough to pay more than half a grand for something that lets me down this much. I'm waiting until I'm sure that things are sorted (hopefully the price will drop too).

5.0 out of 5 stars Archos AV400 Series, 24 Feb 2006
By mr david west (hartlepool, cleveland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I am not one for wasting money and so, just like everybody else did a bit of research into this product before parting with my hard earned. The reviews I read were mixed to say the least but I found that the majority of complaints people had seemed to be about trivial matters, so I decided to take the plunge on the Archos AV480. To say I am extremely pleased with my purchase is an understatement and have found the unit extremely user friendly and simple to operate. The device is very well made and the robust controls and finish are excellent. Recording from external video sources is simple and gives superb results which can be modified and edited after recording. Converting video files to play on the supposedly picky operating system is an absolute doddle and takes roughly half of the runtime of the file using free to download software. Music sounds superb especially through an external hi-fi source and again is exteremely easy to add and remove. Beleive me this is the ultimate gadget that does exactly what it says on the tin and gives superb reproduction in all areas. Highly recommended. !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very few flaws, 28 Dec 2004
First off, this product is absolutely fantastic, I reccomend it to anyone who can afford it. It's got the best picture quality I've ever seen, it's actually looks better than my TV picture and as for the music, even better, but I reccomend buying speakers to experience the full effects of the sound quality. The program recording is the best quality of the machine though you can give your recordings personalised name, adjust screen size, set a recording time etc, and don't worry if you stop recording slightly late you can edit the movie through the ARCHOS by simple putting in start and end marks and either choosing to only use the parts in between those marks or delete them. The only flaw is that it can sometimes crash if left on too long, in which case simply restart it by holding down the off button for 10 seconds, GET THIS DEVICE!!
