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?
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.
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.
beautiful product AV700.......2007-01-11
Seems me that is an excellent product he which will be me of great utility.
*** 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!!

Customer Reviews:
Divx 6.x not compatible.......2007-11-07
this multimediaplayer harddrive is NOT compatible with the Divx 6.x standards out there for about a year now, and as well NOT compatible with the new quicktime 4 format also used by most pros out there.
in contradiction to what they advertise for ....and only compatible with the obsolete 5.0 divx standards not used any more for a very long time..
on top of it, it will never become compatible the technical departement assured me of ( as in firmware upgrade or similar), for the processor built in is not compatible/ capable to handle the movie standards like divx 6.x ( almost 99% of all internet movies out there are compressed with 6.x version of this divx standard)
but these items are usually "ONLY" compatible with older Divx version up to 5.x, which needless to say, NO ONE uses any more for a year now.
so dont be surprised if your downloaded avi or divx or mov movies from the internet just will not play, and also dont be suprised if customer service is not reachable , and if it is, then they will only very reluctantly admit to the lack of compatibility of their players.
if you are not sure, call the manufacturers guys, ask them about this, and let them know what we consumers need...
this item is not even on the G-technology site any more, for so many people have returned them.

Product Description
The iriver PMP-100 series is a new breed of portable media player. It plays your movies, music, photos and more. Plus, integrated FM tuner, voice recorder, ultra-fast USB 2.0 file transfers and simple navigation are just a few of the features you won't find anywhere else.
Amazon.com Product Description
Take your audio and video media files with you wherever you go using iRiver's PMP-140 portable media player, the tiny player with fathomless storage abilities. The media player holds an incredible 40 GB of storage for not just music, but digital photos and full-color, full-motion video, too. The unit sports a 3.5-inch TFT LCD and an audio input so you can load audio content directly into the player from other home or portable devices--no PC required. It will double as a voice recorder, too, generating compressed-audio files from its onboard condenser microphone input.
The unit is PC-compatible, of course: connect it via high-speed USB 2.0 to transfer your media files to the PMP-140 in a jiffy. You can store up to 160 hours of video (using 320 x 240 resolution at 500 kbps, AVI format) or up to 1,200 hours of music (using Windows Media format at 64 kbps). The PMP-140's format compatibilities extend from MP3 to WMA (Windows Media Audio, with full Microsoft Digital Rights Management compatibility) to WMV and DivX (AVI) video and BMP/JPEG image files. Using a USB camera? Use the PMP-140 for on-the-go viewing with a direct USB connection.
The media player offers a built-in FM radio tuner and speaker, making it perfect for sporting events and headphones-free listening (iRiver earphones are included). You can connect it to your home stereo and/or television for additional listening or viewing flexibility. The media player's user-replaceable rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 5 hours of audio/video playback and 16 hours of audio-only use per charge.

portable media player.......2007-03-11
great toy, no regrets about this purchase, works great and keeps away the boredom on long journeys
iRiver PMP 140.......2006-01-19
I have had my PMP 140 for around 15 days. In this review I will briefly describe the pros and cons of this device
Pros: this device is all you need, with a 40 GB storage capacity, you can store 160 hours of full length movies, 1200 hours of songs, and thousands of pictures. It can record directly from any source with a headphone jack, it has an integrated voice recorder, it has a FM tuner, and it even has a stand. The screen is 3.5 inches, so it is pretty decent. But what if you want a big screen? No problem, you can easily connect it to a TV or monitor and it shows up there! This pack even comes with a case. All together, the sound is high quality and the graphics are also good.
Cons: This device does take a moment to turn on (around 15 seconds) but what do you expect when you have thousands of songs, pictures, and hours of movies! It takes a little while to get used to the navigation of this machine, but when you do learn it, it is very easy to navigate. It even has help button that tells specifically what each button does at that time. The actual speaker on the device is mediocre, but the earphones are very high quality. In order to put full length movies, you must get a ripper, which converts videos to different files compatible with the PMP 140. The rippers cost around $30.00-$40.00. Another con is it just barely fits in your pocket. I would not recommend you use this device while jogging, or running. No, this device would be best used on the road. The bad part about using this on the road is the battery life is not good. I would suggest, if using this device on the road, you get a car adapter. (the pack does not come with one.)
Overall, buy this device! It is very high quality. I would say that the cheapest place to get this would be on ebay.com. I got my PMP 140 for $320.00.
Good but flawed, expecting software upgrade.......2005-10-01
This is a good product, it works well and has the advantage over the iPod of letting you dump the music files right into the device folder without using iTunes. It has a great screen that is larger than the Photo iPod and runs .avi videos well. I have over 200 music CDs, hundreds of photos and I'm backing up my laptop hard disk to it. However, it is clumsy with the user interface but I hope iRiver will have an operating system upgrade soon to fix the problem. Then I will rate it Very Good.
great player but don't believe it plays wmv files.......2005-02-14
I was looking for a player that could play my huge library of .wmv format TV shows (I have 200GB of them) and according to the Amazon review here I would have been mislead into buying this product.
It's NOT a .wmv player.
If you want that, go for the iRiver PMC-120, which is a Portable Media Center device and natively supports .wmv files.
Unfortunately the PMC has much less useful functionality than the awesome PMP model.
Looks like iRiver don't make the perfect player for ME yet. I'd like a PMP-80 or PMP-120 that plays .wmv files without needing to convert them first.
an alternative.......2005-02-10
I'm a Korean who wanted to buy the PMP from IRiver last Christmas. I have been going to lot's of electronic markets in Seoul and have found that the sellers did not recommend the PMP from iRiver. After reading the advertisment on the iRiver site, I was so keen to purchase that gadget, yet after looking at the sellers' expressions and listening to their recommendations, I have found that this PMP was not the best machine.
It has lot's of codex that needs to be downloaded off the internet, and the use is more complicated. It also needs to have some of the websites paid in order to use the PMP. What the sellers recommended was a PMP from i-station, another Korean mp3 company. It is more simpler to use, and has a touch pad that you can use with the pen that comes with the gadget to choose your moves. It works like an USB drive, so all you have to do is just copy the file you wish to put into the PMP "drive" and paste it. It's that simple, while the iRiver one needs to have softwares installed and you need an internet connection. The i-staion version has more functions that the iRiver version. It contains a movie player, mp3 player, a photo album, FM radio, and what's more, it has a electronic dictionary that is excelent for students. I have purchased the i-station version of the PMP and is very saticfied with it. However, since this gadget cannot be purchased outside of Korea yet, it would be best to go to Korea and purchase this instead of the iRiver product. (A little note: the one from i-station is a little more expensive than the iRiver one, due to the functions and the origin of the LCD. iRiver's PMP's LCD is made in China, while the i-station's PMP's LCD is made in Japan)
