Added on March 19, 2010, 5:22 pmWah, very good idea! Just for fun I tried but alas, I cannot have a spare remote for my HDPro. Only one button works and it always bring up the file copy screen, so it is useless.
Anyway, no need for another remote in emergency since the HDPro has the front panel buttons for the basic functions. See below.

cannot.

Realtek 1073dd chipset support WMV9 only.

WMV7, WMV8 are not supported.

Anybody felt a slight electrical tingling when touching the casing of the HD-Pro when operating?

maybe ur electrical outlet not properly grounded.. check with test pen

If you have a unit of the HD-Pro, you will know it has only a two-pin plug on its adapter, therefore no 'earth' for the plug. Since there is no 'earth' on the plug design, I am trying to find out whether the electrical leakage is by design or is my unit faulty as it is.

my unit is ok, try connecting to different sources.. u'll get what i mean..

I don't think you understand what the 'earth' point on a plug is about. The 'earth' point on a plug serves as the grounding source for the electrical item in instances when there is power surge either through faulty internal components or from the power supply. Unless your unit comes with a three-pin plug as standard, then there is no difference whichever source the power plug is connected to, as there is only two pins on the plug for 'live' and 'neutral'.

Secondly, some computer component design uses the metal casing as a sort of grounding as well, similar to the concept of car batteries grounding on the car chassis. So, if this is indeed the design employed by the manufacturer on the HD-Pro, then it will be a normal instance to feel the slight electrical tingle depending on whether the person touching it is directly 'grounded' or not.

However, my question again is if there is anybody that has the similar experience, please do say so. I do not wish to make a hasty warranty claim from Yangxi, nor do I wish to risk the safety of my harddisk inside the HD-Pro in case this is a sign of it being faulty.

Go to Setup. Select MISC. Under this you can set Slide Show Timing from 2seconds to 2minutes, the Transition Effects and Ken Burns effect on or off. Try with the Ken Burns effect on for your slide show, quite cool.

New firmware: 11/3/2010
http://tinyurl.com/ybotyw9

*xunlei download temp can use.
*chinese version.

(please help me compare 2/3/2010 version.. any changes)

AFTER flash...please restore default.

Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive and connect it to the USB host port of the player.
Enter the Setup menu, System, System Update, System Upgrade and Enter to confirm.
Please wait for the flashing to complete until the player restarts by itself. (sometimes need twice)
Do not power off the unit during the flashing process!

thanks for the prompt reply yangxi, but what are the fixes?

Will it fix:
1. Youtube? ( should this be in english anyway?)
2. BTsamba installation?
3. background music play from playlist when view photo?

As long as the unit on. the leakage is there. Yes the 2 pin plug will not have any "Earth" there. My unit does. However my unit works, yes my unit has hdd put inside. The leakage is found to be the problem on the AC-DC SMPS Adapter. ( just plug in the adapter n on without connect the hdpro, use ur hand to touch the dc voltage plug which suppose to connect hdpro, its shock.) I think what u mean is this.

However, do anyone face this problem? sudden black screen and restore while playing the movie? (Using HDMI Connection)

Sharp LCD? Realtek might unstable output 1080p for certain LCD model.

try this firmware.

after flash finish..please restore default.

yangxi,

I guess this new firmware only for the 2 item you mention below:-

*xunlei download temp can use.
*chinese version

So I wont be updating my HDPro firmware until these fixes arrived:

1. youtube
2. play background music from playlist when view photo.
3. fix BT samba installation.

let us know when you got these fixed. thanks.

Is this firmware can make the mkv in-built subtitle being loaded automatically?
I've tried another 4G mkv movie with another same name srt file, subtitle can be loaded & shown.
But for 2G mkv in-built srt, hdpro cant display the subtitle automatically, everytime have to reselect the subtitle & turn it ON. (A6&S7T don have this problem).... Is there any firmware possible to handle the problem?

today I tested B&W Audiophiles flac songs. I'm really surprise with the result. my AVR is Yamaha RX-V465 with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1. Play direct with stereo speakers. They sound really warm... nice.
