Geramnya, can't support Dolby Thru HD and the DTS HD MA will also remux to normal DTS 5.1, what the hell is this. I thought can straight away play the Blu-ray with support all the HD audio format, now really upset. Does anyone know which firmware support the HD audio format?

It won't ever happen unless GOD intervene. Been a big issue before but now everyone seem to have given up hope already. Not only POHD, it is the same for all Realtek 1073DD players.

I already read that part.. does it means I must install all the things in PC first? cannot just install firmware with YAMJ, coz I dont link my POHD
with my PC, if so complicated I think I dont want to use YAMJ..

Don't have to link also can. Just plug your movies hdd to your pc, when the yamj indexing is done connect it to your pohd.

not sure if windows can detect it that way.

Didn't you get a special USB cable when you bought the POHD? One end Mini USB slave (connect to the POHD) the other end regular size USB (connect to your PC). Once connected to your PC, switch on the POHD. After a few seconds, it will power down with all lights off and become like any other external USB HDD. Your PC will detect it as such.

I tried "The Incredible Hulk" BDMV & BD ISO yesterday, POHD play it flawlessly, the only shortage is lacks of menu......but the strange thing is, Avatar BDMV & BD ISO cannot play in POHD, anyone has encounter the same problem for Avatar BDMV & BD ISO?

I thought I mentioned before to press the 'Menu' button on the remote to activate a simple Menu during the movie.

Ya, I tried, even after I press the "Menu" button, nothing is appears, but the time seek function works fine

No wor. after playing folder..straight away the glass breaking thingy no menu wor....or u mean I hv to press the menu button also?? - let me check this Evening..

after I update to the latest firmware, I got the menu now and the Avatar bdmv works fine, but there is some sound problem for bd iso

This new 3875 FW has problems with BD.ISO (Stuttering, sound loss) especially if you use the Next chapter button or the Slider bar. Problem is worse if you connect to external USB.

Only way is use BDMV for time being until they solve the problem in later FW. I have already posted the problem in AC Ryan POHD Forums.

BDMV plays everything OK.

Added on May 8, 2010, 12:21 pmYou only get the Menu when you press the Remote 'Menu' Button after the movie starts. Don't expect the Menu to come out before the movie starts, because POHD can't activate the Real BD Menu. They can only provide a simple non-graphical replacement Menu during the Movie.

If you just want to play the next Chapter (next song) you don't even need to activate the menu, just press the 'Next' button on the remote.

So which firmware you are using?

3875 of course, since it got playlist support. Playlist support is very impirtant. For example if you use 2901 (no playlist support) you can't select chapter. If I want to play David Foster BDMV I can't go directly to a certain chapter (song). Now with 3875, I can go to any song I want.


I can put up with the FW 3875 ISO problem for time being as not all ISO suffer from the stuttering (only high bitrates ones I presume).

Do you put in internal hdd into your POHD? Do you using the YAMJ feature?

Yes and no. I expect YAMJ to slow down browsing so I am not too keen.

Regarding the 3875 problem with certain BD ISO , even playing from Internal HDD also got some stuttering but it is much less compared to external USB HDD.

I tried the latest f/w and revert back to 2388, it is the best for my setup and all f/w after 2388 does shift the screen to the right when display in native mode.

I do notice the PQ is the best in native mode vs full. anyone try that before? When you set the display to native mode, you will see 2 little >> arrow on the top line of the POHD main menu.

There is a screen adjustment feature in all the FW, but I don't know if it works or not. I have tried it before but it doesn't have any effect on my LCD TV.

Cool tested..Yeah having the simple top screen - Audio, Subtitle, Title, Chapter & DVD Menu...Too bad the DVD menu not functioning..others simple menus OK..
