Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Audiovox PVR1000 is your home away from home: a portable device capable of letting you enjoy your digital photos, digital music, and digital video through a standard headphone jack, a 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen, and a single onboard speaker. What's more, you can use the unit to record video programs from camcorder, VCR, television, or other sources for viewing at lunch, on the road, or on vacation. It'll serve nicely as a digital voice recorder with its own built-in condenser microphone. The PVR1000 offers 32 MB internal memory and an SD/MMC card port for expanding the unit's memory to a full gigabyte.

Compatible video formats include MPEG-4 video, JPEG images, and MP3 and WAV audio files, and supplied software helps you convert multiple video file formats to the MPEG-4-compatible ASF format. Hook it up to your PC--or, when using it as a mass-storage device, to your Macintosh computer, as well--using a standard USB interface.

Use it as an alarm clock and a calendar, or play games (tic-tac-toe, puzzle) on the bus or subway. Share photos with friends, colleagues, or family members. It's DPS-ready, too. That means you can print photos directly from the PVR1000 without ever attaching it to a computer. Shoot with your SD/MMC camera, view and print with the PVR1000--it's that simple.

What's in the Box
Personal media recorder, a software CD-ROM (including user's guide), an audio/video input cable, and an AC/DC power adapter.

Bought this..Sound is terrible..Has a white noise during playback of video..The fast forward option is so slow and if you press fast forward in just a little will go back to begining of video..No way to advance video ahead to where you left off..Cant save video position if you turn off must start from begining..Mp3 player is good though..Wish I would of saved money and went with Archos PVR..

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad experience with this one, November 14, 2005

This is after about 2 weeks of use. It does record alright from video sources. Voice recorder barely works if at all. The front menu is scrambled to where you have to use the manual to know what you are choosing. All recording (video or audio) freezes unit about 50% of the time. Bad sound with internal speakers and very low volume with headphones.

I would would warn anyone to stay away from this (from my experience).

This review is from: Audiovox PVR1000 Portable Personal Video Recorder with 2.5" LCD (Electronics)

I was looking for something that I could record from tv or a small cctv camera and this thing does it very well. I haven't had any trouble loading the battery, though the battery door is a bit cheesy and probably easily broken if you were pulling the battery in and out, which I don't see myself doing as it keeps a charge long enough for me to get done what I need done or I can keep it tethered to the ac adapter while recording.

I'm still testing it's function and find it fairly easy to use. You must use their software to transfer video to the machine (at least if it's saved in something other than asf format). You can drag and drop mp3's to the directory.

When you put a card in, the unit creates several subdirectories on it. MP3, Video, Audio etc., The card shows up as a second drive to the internal memory.

The screen is very clear and crisp and easy to see. I have had no concerns at all with it so far.
