Very Simple

Like many, I was deciding between Archos and RCA. I'm sure RCA has released I good product but...after doing research I had my doubts about the RCA(bad software, delays, side by side reviews,etc).I'll try to keep this short. Overall this is a good device, it does what it claims to do very easily.PROS:+Nice screen+Easy Navigation+Easy to Record Audio/Video+Easy to transfer files+Sound and Video quality is great+Clean design+Controls are good(except when the middle joystick button option is on)+The...

Good features but too many problems

The Archos AV300/320 holds a lot of promise as an all-in-one entertainment center that lets you play video, audio, photos, and more. It works well as a DVR (digital video recorder) and can be fun to use, but there are many problems that make the high price tag rather unjustified.First of all the documentation is rather inadequate and confusing. Same goes for the interface. Your second impression would be how "cheap" the device looks and feels upon unwrapping. Don't expect your friends to go "wow...

So Long RCA Jukebox, I Have A New Love!

I bought the Archos 20 gig expecting nothing much. Was I wrong!!!! I am blown away by this gizmo as it compares to the RCA Lycra video jukebox!!!! It even competes with my Sony TV/VCR handheld which takes a direct digital signal in quality.The screen is pure clarity! Beautiful! The unit is heavier, very sturdy. The video is all I'm interrested in, but if you put music on it and the image data is with the music file, that image (artists' CD cover) will show while the song plays.Back to the video...

Mediocre At Best

I recieved the AV320 as a Christmas gift this past December. As you can see, it is now June, not six months later. My system is very messed up and often will not turn on. If it does turn on, it shuts off when it feels necessary. Or, lines appear on the screen. I don't know anyone else with this, so I can't say whether or not it's a common problem, but I do know that I'm taking it back very soon to replace it, probably with a Panasonic SV-AS10D. I thought perhaps it was a power issue, but it has...

Really good player/recorder

Finally, I found the device, which does most of things I was looking to have in mp3 player and does it fine. It plays mp3, wma, wav audio formats, records mp3 and wave formats, plays video with good quolity on ntse or pal TV as well as on the internal screen, has an optional FM remote control and works as external hard drive with no drivers. The user interface is really good, I compare it with Creative nomad, the interface on this player is much more user friendly. Yes, it is pretty big and havy...
