Seriously, if U wanna buy a FULLHD capable player but only wanna use the TV and no amp, might as well don't use it lah.

But then again, DTS downmix confirmed coming on 15 Aug firmware update. tongue.gif

i know HD should be the combination of visual and audio,but for the poor people like me at least we still can enjoy the visual effect although the audio effect sooooo crap right? sweat.gif

hmn..after conversion about RM600.. seem good. can drop by SG soon.

anyway.. anyone know how does playon DVr Tv compares with playon HD besides the recording capabilities?
Was keen to have the recording feature to record some astro content.
But after some research, seem that the DVR tv is using a different chipset and it older generation. Not sure it the performance is on par with the newer playon HD.
some review seem to give playon hd pretty good rating but not as good for the DVR TV. anyone expert can shed some light?

anyway, during my research, i notice something interesting.
there is a china made player which look very similiar to the playon Dvr TV but almost half the price.

check this out, look at the back panel.. look the same to me.

Guys,
I just got my brother in Singapore to get me a unit of this media player in Carrefour, at the price of SGD237 (after a 5% from the orginal price of SGD249). At the conversion rate of RM2.4 to SGD1, it is slightly less than RM570. I will hook it up to my 1 TB WD MyBook loaded with MKV's for a start. I intend to stick in a 1 TB drive. What would be your recommendation?

Wokay, I will post a little FR next week, based on my collection of MKV files when I get it over the weekend. Eventually, I hope to have it play BD-ISO from my friend's collection, so I really hope that this player can handle it. I will be displaying it on my Panny 50V80H which I bought from Htkaki.

I checked many places in KL, but sumua tarak. One google for it in Spore and I got several hits. Infact, when I called up the first shop in Spore (Media Mart), they said they got it and selling for SGD229. I called my bro and he said he already bought it in Carrefour for nett SGD237. I wonder why no incoming stocks in KL but there seems to be plenty in Spore.

Horny,
It's stated that this player will handle HD DTS MA in the next firmware upgrade this month, although I won't be enjoying it. I am going to hook it up to my old Pioneer DTS AV-AMP nia.
