Archos AV560 60Go

everything

none

Does everything you need from a portable media player plus more!

Over sized, bulky, poor user interface.

does everything that you want it to do holds dvds all your photos and more tunes than you can ever listen to and it keeps the kids occupied for hours and great for holidays and travelling

volume not loud enough when not using headphones

Large hard disk, copes with many audio and video formats, fairly easy to use and to load with mp3 etc.

Internal loudspeaker not very good, but headphones ok. Sometimes stalls when recording videos in real time. No ogg vorbis

Versatile, Good large screen and ample storage capacity

Bulky & heavy

Compact yet large enough to be useable. Photos, Music, Video, TV all on one piece of equipment. Ideal for travelling.

The case has no storage for the headphones and due to it's design can lead to the player switching itself on whilst not in use.

GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY

Overall, the Archos 560 is a great little machine. The picture quality when viewed on the screen is great although I find watching through my TV is a little poor. The sound from the headphones is fine. Setup is very easy and it is very easy to use.

As mentioned above, picture quality when connected to the TV is poor and it doesn't record in widescreen from a Sky Digibox.

Memory capacity, clarity of screen. Ease of use, do not have to use ITunes!

Cannot transfer DVD files from computer.

Great screen, images are sharp and clear. Being able to transfer directly from my digital camera is handy.

Having to convert video and music to a suitable format is tedious. Built in speaker is too weak, but sounds great using headphones.
