Going through the topic here, the player sound very powerful. Wonder how much this player cost and what model? Any spec?

There is a seller selling here in LYN. Price rm350/430 I think for the HD600a with and without wifi. Do a search. But stocks haven't arrive...

many brand stock arrive on mid MAY

specs for HD600A

specs for HD600B
http://www.himedia-tech.cn/en/product_show.php?id=25

it's as powerful as what other 1185 player. The only diff I find is they really work hard on their firmware support and they make effort in the design for their players.

Firmware is important to me cause it's a new player, there're a lot of bugs. A good company normally will get the bugs fix faster, where as 3rd party or unknown brand will wait for other better brand. Also there are a good user based who are willing to DIY firmware. Like yesterday, Himedia release .34 firmware (.33 was 1 day before), within 18hrs, there's a DIY firmware out

I do advise if you wanna get HD600B, wait to see if there's any heat issue. Fanless 1185 player with HDD may have heat issue if the casing is not well design. Also if you intend to put HD600A (aluminium case) in an enclosed area (like small gap in tv rack), it might get a little hot but still acceptable. I don't think plastic fanless casing will be good.

BTW China Taobao sellers just gotten their HD600B stocks yesterday I think. So it'll soon be in Singapore and Malaysia^^

edit: Here's a seller in TB who had gotten the HD600B stocks^^

Added on May 6, 2011, 1:16 amJust got my HD600a. It is really small...
Seems to be working great. My first media player. Will need sometime to play around.

Wanna ask what is the latest firmware?

latest firmware is 1.0.1.34, but it's buggy. Suggest you use .29 which is more stable. It's a nice small compact player with network function^^ I believe I'd also pm you the DIY firmware, but do remember to use at ur own risk^^; Have fun^^

Woow... that fast... im still waiting the 600b...

So the iphone thingy, DLNA right?

already help u flash firmware to 1.0.1.34(2011-4-29)...

no chance to view the HD600B. but HD600A a good player. i like the remote control! it very sensitive and high class look.
UI is very user friendly. just they need do much effort on firmware to improve the internet browswer.

Added on May 6, 2011, 7:29 pmSomething I dont understand. How does the player sort the files? Dont seem to be sorted by name. Is there a setting where i can choose the file sort?

ya it's a good player^^ actually there's a design fault for wifi version, think it'll be valid for HD600B too. The fault is the metal casing and internal wifi, it reduced the connection speed by quite a bit >.< Maybe getting a non-wifi version with a usb wifi dongle might be a better choice (at leatst I think it'll work).

enter use menu button, u can choose movie view by name, size sumthing de....

Bro don't have le. When to press the menu button? At selection menu only got view by List, Thumbnail or Preview.

can give better directions ar? Manual in Chinese....

there's no indexing for HD600 yet.

edit: Just found out there's a new firmware^^ http://dl.himedia-tech.cn/HD600/HD600_1.0.2.0.rar

just try found view by name, size.... only can working under movie file, if under folder then only can view by List, Thumbnail or Preview de...

now only remote is english de, Manual book i think nid few month later then can get english version de..

Yet to try, but based on my understanding of it's log, 1.0.2.1 (released today) have included file sorting^^

http://dl.himedia-tech.cn/HD600/HD600_1.0.2.1.rar

Do give it a try and update.

I won't be updating the official 2.1^^; I prefer to wait and get the DIY version^^

What is different with the DIY version? What additional features?

Main diff is maybe some download features and more IMS^^ If you don't wish to risk ur warranty, I suggest you stick to HiMedia or your seller firmware^^

Edit: Just tested DIY 2.1 firmware^^ Ya name sorting/indexing is working in file manager^^
