"Nice Low Price Digital Picture Frame - Recommended"
The Axion 7" Digital Picture Frame is a real deal if you consider what you are getting for the money:

* Good Size Display
* Fairly Clear Display
* MP3 Support (works well!)
* Support For USB Thumb Drive
* Support For SD/MS/MMC/xD Cards
* Clock/Calendar/Alarm
* Remote Control

The unit worked right out of the box and I didn't even have to read the directions to get most of the functions working.

We are using this in our candle shop to display pictures of custom items that we do not want stock due to space restrictions. So far we are very happy with the performace and quality.

Recommended!

"Axion AXN-9702 7" - Well worth it."
Ordered this item when it was on Gold Box for $40.

Pros:
1. Nice looking design - it would be nice if they offered other colors besides white.
2. Easy set-up - I didn't read the instructions.
3. Has a remote and has a good range - like, from across the room.
4. Has a calendar, clock, alarm, view pix or mp3s or both.
5. Has internal memory to download pixs (not many can be loaded, 15 pixs, and nothing stated in their instructions as to how large the internal memory is).
6. Can view in many angles.
7. Takes SD cards, even a SDHC card - I loaded a 4gb card.

Cons:
1. No instructions on how large capacity SD card you can use. I just popped in my 4gb and it worked, thank goodness.
2. Sound can't get very low - it's pretty loud (to me).
3. Can't control volume on remote.
4. No on-screen indicator if alarm is on.
5. Can't change color of clock's digital font (yellow!); would've preferred blue.
6. No alarm selections, so you get the telephone ring of pre-digital phones (ring ring). Would be nice if we could use an mp3 file.
7. Doesn't use batteries - for clock to stay current if there's a power surge or such.
8. No firmware updates, if anyone is wondering.

Regarding the pixs and music: it uses jpgs and mp3s. I put all my pixs in a folder and resized them all to 1024x768. Then put it a folder of mp3s. Copied the folder to my 4gb SDHC and it works just fine.

Zoom button: nice when you want to view an image in a bit larger format. If using pixs in slideshow, it will pause to this image til you click play. It will actually resize to 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, and 200%.

Rotate button: for you folks who don't rotate you jpgs before copying into your SD card, you can press this button.

Registered this product on their on-line site (30 day warranty); no extended warranty available.

Even with it's shortcomings, it's definitely worth it!


"Bad luck ou bad product?"
I've bought the AXN-9702 Axion Digital Frame during my vacations in USA to regard my wife. Arriving in Brazil, the product worked no more than 5 minutes and then blacked out. There's no international warranty from Axion and the mail cost to deliver the product to Amazon.com is unaffordable.

Now I'll have to pay the bill or trashout this junk!!!

"Absolutely Rubbish"
This frame worked for two months and then it went dead. No customer service available for this frame and they don't honor the 1 year warranty. It would be wise to spend a little extra to get quality product. Stay away from "this one"

"No customer service"
I sent n email with the following question to customer service:
"Which formats may I play on Axion AXN6079 7-Inch Twin Monitor Portable DVD System?"
First email answer:"This unit will play most formats." Signed by Reginald K. Johnson.

Asked again:"Will you be so kind to tell me exactly which formats does it play? There are more than 30 video formats...
Textual Answer:"All excerpt VCD's." Signed by Reginald K. Johnson

Third email: Are u sure you want to work in customer service? I'm planning not to buy the equipment due to your help.

2 weeks and still no answer...
