Hello guys.

I'm looking for a media player for the living room in my house. It'll be used by my parents and my teenage sister, since i won't be staying at home for the foreseeable future and I want them to enjoy watching movies a little bit more. I'll try to make this easier by listing down the few features I'm looking for in a media player:

1) accepts internal hard disk (3.5"). I'm recycling the hard drive I'm currently using for my desktop.

2) simple user interface/GUI, as my parents will be using the device. I'll be around once in a while, so firmware updates will not be an issue.

3) wide range of file support out of the box, with minimal configuration. This is one of the reason why I'm looking at a media player from AC Ryan over other (Chinese) brands. Little things would be thought out (I hope), so the player would be as plug-and-play as it gets.

4) USB 3.0 ports would be a bonus, but not necessary.

5) My budget is RM500 or below, do tell me if that's not enough/excessive for my intended purpose.


If there are any other features that I should know about, I'm more than eager to find out. Thanks fellas!
