what does that say about HiMedia product??
(here all seller trying to sell their products while flaming other ppl's products)

Any actual user reviews?

Setoyo's info is from the manufaturer.

egreat R200 is good , just dont like the outlook. buy here warrnaty easier.
i had meet 2 customers who bought the eaget player from shanghai and singapore and when they find me to help them to claim warranty,
i find out few problem. normally china market only 1 year warranty but oversea longer warranty. finnaly they pay me at least RM150 for the warranty claim

there are few local distributor start carry china brand. buy local u get better support. some player brand in china not give u full accessories like hdmi. see Eaget player we FOC all the accessories which differnet in china.



i never flame other good brand like himedia. go for it. i had talk with 2 seller who selling the himedia realtek 1185. the player just the surving internet section not perfect, others are ok.
it selling like hot cake in malaysia for realtek 1185. go for it

Bro I understand that you believe in your product and I am sure it is good. I opened this thread is to get feed back on the HiMedia brand. Just hoping that there are users here in Malaysia that is willing to share their experience with the product. I heard that it is big in China but so far only one seller I see in LYN carries the brand.

Himedia price quite high. no market here.

ACryan price higher rite?

suggest u wait 1 more month .. compare 1185 price.

ok. Other than Eaget, anyone else release using the 1185 chip?

Any reason for the price quite high?

the pioneer brand who come out the 1185 player will sell at high price.
the Himedia price is ok. why not pay a visit to digitalmall to try it first. his stock is limited.

not in KL anymore....

First i got Acryan HD mini2 ---> 1st dat got wifi restart problem and return ASAP to seller... got a bad experience from Ac ryan...

and request to change player, then I look at HD600B and booked for it!
Same chipset but different stuff... hehe...

can deal with him by post mah.
forum can check his thread.

every brand got the failure units i think. acryan quality still the best.

But cannot test it first...

There's a good reason why I choose Himedia HD600A to be my 1st HD media player. Seeing that people tend to give good comment regarding their firmware support I felt it'll be safe to bet on them for a 1185 player.

My decision is correct, at least I think it is ^^; HD600A is officially released on 10th April 2011 in China. 1st batch HD600A comes with 1.0.1.17 firmware I think. On 15th Apr they released 1.0.1.21, on 19th Apr they released 1.0.1.24 and on 25th Apr 1.0.1.29 firmware. You have to admire their dedication to fixing bugs. Also there's even DIY firmware for 1.0.1.29 out today, but I have problem downing from the China file sharing site

I think although price factor is important, but you can't really go wrong with what brand most ppl use in China. Himedia, MyGica, Kaiboer, Eaget are some of the more brands HDPfans seems to favour. It doesn't matter who made these player brands, the key is you have a better chance of having better firmware with more IMS, features, etc.

Back to HD600A. Comparing it the Eaget M9 (1283) I just bought for my dad. I find that HD600A plays 1080p movies better over the network. M9 after playing a few mins might freeze a little, but H600A doesn't have this problem. This was also mentioned in a recent China review for HD600A.

HD600A is slim and nice, with a metal casing. The heat generated is acceptable, but if you put a SATA HDD on top, it becomes a little too hot^^; So do look into the casing if you were to get a fanless design 1185 player.

M9 have more IMS compared to HD600A, but the player had been out barely a month. Give it sometime I think the firmware goodies will increase^^ Web browsing is a plus for HD600A, I believe most (if not all) older players don't have this. Tried connecting USB keyboard and mouse to HD600A, I can surf the net, but the typing interface could be improved. It's good for very basic surfing.

Youtube don't work well for HD600A yet, but YoutubeXL works nicely. PPS doesn't work, although M9 PPS works for me.

Hope my sharing will be of use to u.^^

edit: Based on a review, HD600A build-in wifi works better than 1073DD+ player. On his network 1073DD+ gets 3xxx but HD600A get 4xxx.

Regarding AC Ryan, I suggest you look in Singapore WHZ forum.

Thanks for the review.
You have PS3? how is the surfing experience compared to the 600A?

Thinking if I need the wifi. Cause actually my modem is beside the media player.
I can use the wireless in my ps3 and connect the modem to the player. But how to play SSF4 like that? Sure lag.

I don't have PS3, but I do believe HD600A is worst than PS3. The whole interface is still buggy. Surfing net is still better on PC lol

When I put the modem closer (about 2-2.5m away), my wifi speed is about 5xxx to 9xxx. Enough to play 720p movie over wifi without too much interruption.

So you streaming from your pc?
I wanted the media player so i dont have to use my laptop.

Any other use for the wifi?

Ya I'm streaming from PC. I bought a media player cost want to save electric bill lol <15W vs 200-300W (on my HTPC).

HD600A is also reviewed to work better as a NAS than it's precessor. What other wifi usage u thinking of?^^; Stream movie, play IMS, browse internet. Is there anything else?

Hi, about the build-in browser, how good is it? Does it able to run flash multimedia, online movie stream like youtube for exampleor ? What's your experience so far.

The only gripe i have on this HD600A is it is still using USB2.0... otherwise it fits most of my requirement ie. LAN/DLNA/NAS support, frequent fw support, brower. etc..
