The perfect companion for everything from long trips to short bus rides, and from going to parties to just hanging out around the house, the Archos 604 lets you not only take your favorite music, movies, and moments with you, but helps you make new favorite moments wherever you happen to be.

The unit's 4.3-inch TFT LCD display delivers a crystal-clear picture.

With a screen size surface three times that of similar size PMPs (portable media players), the Archos 604 lets you thoroughly enjoy movies and videos. This unit employs a bright 4.3-inch TFT LCD display with over 16 million colors to deliver a crystal-clear, sharp picture, with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixels of resolution, as well as an intuitive GUI (graphic user interface) for easy-to-use navigation. The Archos 604 not only plays your videos and movies, but also lets you store up to a whopping 85 movies on its hard drive in either MPEG-4 or WMV formats at up to DVD resolution. You can also purchase and download optional plug-ins from Archos' website that will allow you to play H.264 and MPEG-2 formats up to DVD resolutions as well.

Connections include a USB 2.0 interface, a dedicated DVR connector, a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, and a TV output.

Not only is the Archos 604 a portable video and movie player, but a high-resolution photo viewer as well, complete with features such as zoom, music, and transition effects. You can easily download photos from your PC or transfer them directly to the 604 from your digital camera via the optional docking adapter. This unit is compatible with JPEG, BMP, and PNG file formats, and can hold up to 300,000 photos at a time, depending upon file size and what else you are storing at the same time. The Archos 604 can even read and display PDF documents for on-the-fly work situations, although it may not implement all PDF features.

For those times when you can't afford the distraction of watching high-quality videos, the Archos 604 can be your music player, storing and playing up to 15,000 songs so you can keep working, walking, or doing whatever you need with your own private soundtrack. The unit displays the track, artist, album, and album cover of whatever you are playing, and supports stereo MP3 decoding from 30 to 320 kbps CBR and VBR, as well as WMA, protected WMA, and WAV (PCM/ADPCM) formats. Furthermore, the Archos 604 can play AAC music files and AC3 stereo sound files with the additional of optional software plug-ins that can be purchased and downloaded from Archos' web site. And just in case inspiration strikes or you want to make sure you don't forget something important, this handy media player lets you make voice recordings through its built-in microphone, or via the optional DVR travel adapter or DVR station through a stereo line-in jack in WAV format.

Touch screen LCD lets you navigate through menus with a fingertip or stylus.

The Archos 604 is fully compatible with DVD-quality VOD (video on demand) and online music stores, allowing you to purchase and download new music and movies directly online rather than having to transfer everything from more traditional media sources. This media player can also record directly from TV in high-quality MPEG-4 with stereo sound via the optional DVR station, so you can take your favorite television shows with you wherever you go. And if you are at home, the Archos 604 can play back any of your movies or recorded TV programs on your television itself, also through the optional DVR station.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   30 of 35 people found the following review helpful: Great Product but a bit slow when responding to touch screen and reading PDF files, December 2, 2006 By  Everglades Bear (Florida) - See all my reviews 4.5 stars. Great unit and its positives have been well reviewed. However, there are two negatives that need to be corrected and which I believe can be corrected with a software update. One, when using the touch screen for input, the unit is a bit slow responding. When reading PDF files, the unit is painfully slow. Other reviewers have made the same observations. If Archos could speed up the response of the touch screen and (cache PDF pages) to speed up reading PDF files, it would solve two of the only negatives on this otherwise fine product. Update: December 23, 2006 5 stars Latest firmware update (V1.6.05) corrected every criticism in my previous review above. Touch screen now responsive and reading PDF files very quick. Other manufacturers could take a real lesson from Archos. I have spent many years working with computers and their peripherals. Archos has shown themselves to be an extremely responsive company. My hat is off to them. Highly recommend the Archos 604 Wifi.   24 of 31 people found the following review helpful: *** Best MP3 Player on the Market, Period. ***, November 13, 2006 By  Troy Hough (Lincoln, NE) - See all my reviews    i have had the 604 WIFI for about a week. IT ROCKS. play/record video. play your music collection. sync with your PC. browse the internet. check your email. built in file server. edit playlists ON THE GO. wow. get one NOW!   18 of 28 people found the following review helpful: Don't buy for Steaming A/V From Internet - Overpriced Underpowered, April 3, 2007 By  S. Plisner "Honest Sam" (St. Paul, MN) - See all my reviews    I bought this gizmo to watch and listen to streaming audio video direct from the internet. I listen/watch a large number of programs on internet radio stations, international TV news and from the US network TV websites. The PR says that you can listen to all formats and cannect up to the web with OPERA. They do not tell you that OPERA on Archos can not do the simple function of streaming. What kind of WIFI Media Player can not direct stream from the web? Archos! Even Palm can stream and it is not a Media Player. You are going to spend over $500 before you are done and tech support is either nonexistant or not helpful. Save you money an double check that it can do what you want it to do before buying Share your thoughts with other customers:  › See all 60 customer reviews...
