Packard Bell Eclipse multimedia player review

There are three buttons available on the front of the Eclipse for managing music, pictures and videos. Furthermore the top side of this MP4 player carries a slide-button that turns the Eclipse on or off and locks the MP4 player. The last two buttons are found on the side, one of which is a scroll wheel that can also be pressed down, with below it a button to return to the previous setting.
