Norman, Aberdeen

Score 9.0/10

+ 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.

Stephen, Carrickfergus

Score 8.0/10

+ 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.

Score 7.0/10

+ 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.

- Battery Life. Mine also crashed after only two months so reliability could be a factor.
