ARCHOS multimedia portable players are versatile and can be used in many ways, whether at home, at work or on the move. They quickly become essential companions that you can't do without!

The ARCHOS 404 is the perfect companion for people on the move: its 30 GB hard drive capacity allows you to store up to 130 hours of video encoded with a PC, the equivalent of 85 movies. Play them on the built-in 3.5" LCD color screen or playback on TV in high resolution up to 720 x 576 with the DVR station. Play a large variety of video files, including MPEG-4, WMV and protected WMV and read MPEG-4, MPEG-2, and VOB with optional software plug-ins. The ARCHOS 404 also offers many more functionalities such as slow motion, adjustable screen size, video editing and even a video bookmarking function.

Transform your ARCHOS 404 into a Digital Video Recorder with the optional DVR station. Record TV or most video sources such as satellite/cable box, VCR, DVD player or camcorder in MPEG-4 format. Set up the DVR station by connecting it to the external video source; simply slot in your ARCHOS and record instantaneously or make scheduled recordings with the included infrared receiver that controls the external video sources.

Transfer your photos from a PC or most mass storage devices via the USB 2.0 high speed interface or directly from a digital camera, on the move with the optional docking adapter, or at home with the DVR station. Store and view up to 300, 000 photos (JPEG, PNG and BMP formats) and display slideshows with music and transition effect. Manage your files and folders directly on the device for a better mobility. Store up to 15, 000 songs on the hard drive and play most popular music files such as MP3, WAV, WMA and protected WMA files. Easily organize songs with the enhanced ARCLibrary and customize your view by artist, album, type of music, title, year, and create your playlists without having to use a computer. Use the voice recorder to store notes quickly for a later use.

Charge your ARCHOS 404 via the USB 2.0 interface or plug the device into the DVR station to get a quick charge. Purchase, download, subscribe to or rent protected video and music content from the Microsoft PlaysForSure websites. Using the high-speed USB 2.0 interface, the ARCHOS 404 will easily auto-synchronize this content with Windows Media Player each time you connect it to your PC, or convert your Windows Media Player library content to one of the many compatible formats.
