i think when u first u got HDD u didnt format it with pohd. if not i guess u need to redo it (format using pohd) or theres an option (go to acryan forum - how to section), how to create partition etc.

if possible try to format using firmware 1402 because with this samba and bt is automatically installed in the HDD. whereas later version of firmware 2388 and above, u need to install the additional service pack in order for you to use bt and browse your pohd in your network.

currently i have 2tb samsung install at the pohd formatted with 2901 so everytime (basically i like to toy around with the firmware) i update pohd firmware i need to reinstall the additional service pack whereas my other 1.5 which i format using 1402 firmware i dont have to install the service pack.

currently the best firmware i'm using in my environment is 3875.

p/s: careful when turning on your pohd if u didnt format it using pohd coz like ngto said one day u might accidently deleted (format) your hdd.

ok share with us the outcome.....if too troublesome...reformat using pohd is only choice....

hi anybody interested to get a used POHD big comes with Compatible Wireless Dongle? if so kindly PM me as i want to let go mine....comes with official firmware 3875.

p/s: i'm jumping ship to other media player.....

i'm already confirm and registered as participant ! u better send yours now coz seat is limited !

that one too high end...cant afford.......

after all "why pay more" eheheh...

i'm just waiting for confirmation of HD supported Firmware only...before switching...

i'm getting Pro but i have already made my reservation with Boxbuilder. thanks for the offer

i'm not sifulah but i do acknowledge that i play around with pohd. in fact i have tested almost 95% in the acryan how to section (from tweaking speed to enabling service) hehehe....just to get the best out of it.

the best firmware in my setup currently is 3875.

yes. but if the internal HDD is formatted with later version 2388 then u might need to reinstall the additional service pack.

p/s: to be safe please unplug your internal HDD prior to flashing / upgrading / downgrading firmware.

Added on July 12, 2010, 3:43 pmif you using HDMI then u dont need to use the optical link. HDMI will carry both audio and video.

then in pohd under setup / audio u need to set HDMI RAW.

bro, sorry your HTIB is not capable of handling 5.1 from pohd. it will downmix to 2 channel stereo. i just ran thru the manual. suggest u get proper AVR to do this like most of us.

Added on July 13, 2010, 8:56 amagreed. look for 2nd hand AVR that can do DTS and Dolby decoding only unless u got a newer chip of pohd then get a HD capabilites AVR .

if not mistaken anything DTS-XX (MA/ES/HD) will be downmix to core DTS. Older generation of AVR should be able to pick it up.

Unless u want full HD sound then u need a newer chip POHD (wait for firmware) and AVR that support full DTS-HD and TrueHD

errk so whose coming for the workshop?

i got 1 extra seat !!! hehehe

errk...i didnt submit anythinglah...specially qs to boxbuilder...perhaps..just go there and later when open qs to floor straight run to the nearest microphone and shot the qs ! heheh....actually i got few in mind but dont wanna share....maybe better ask him in person !
