Hands-on with the Archos 405 and DVR dock

Moving to the rear of the dock, we see composite out, component in and out, and S-Video in and out. The dock itself is actually pretty lightweight and doesn't reflect the media players' solid build quality. Obviously there's much less to a dock, but we feel a little extra weight -- or perhaps a similar metal construction instead of plastic -- would have added significant 'wow' to an otherwise uninspiring design.

The Archos 405 is on sale now for around £109, and the DVR docking station will be on sale later this month for around £47. Expect our full review very soon. -Nate Lanxon
