I am thinking of buying 600A.  Can it play BDISO or BDMV or BD java with full menu and smooth playback and off course with DTS-MA passthru?

I have several 20GB MKV files on my NAS and can confirm that the HD600A plays them fine.  It even bitstreams the lossless audio to my AVR

According to ccs221, post #321:
600A and 600B all the spec and functions is the same except 600B can plug 3.5 inch hdd, usb 3.0 port and front touch pad.

As your mention, 600A have no issue to handle 20GB .mkv .
Can I assume 600B also can handle the same?

Now I’m still considering whether worth to spend extra RM80 just for USB3.0 on 600B ……


Anyone can recommend which shop at Lowyat able to find this player?

Himedia A and B series is always differenciate by B being able to host a HDD internally..  Other specs are the same except the USB2.0 in 600A and USB3.0 in B.  But mind you, himedia forum has many post about the heat generated in 600B..so pls read more to decide whether u r ok with this 'design defect'.

Hi numbertwo,

The heat issue is it cause by if fix internal hdd into the box?
As i didn't plan to put any internal hdd, i will always play big video file using external hdd.
That is why i'm still considering whether need the USB3.0 to ready for coming USB3.0 external hdd smile.gif

the heat issue is not caused by internal hdd. the entire 600b is freaking hot and i can confirm that. but if not much ppl complain it dying anytime soon then i dont care. makes me think the reason why they created the 600c was to put a fan bcoz too many ppl worry and complain.

and imo, the usb3 is nothing much unless if u plan to xfer stuff from the player to the external, which most ppl rarely ever do that.

how big is big ? 30+gb bd-iso ? ive seen this demo unit at lowyat, if not mistaken is just the 600a playing bd-iso.

=============
now on to my question :

do you guys use the torrent feature ? i've  tried  it and it kinda suck, the most stripped down downloader ive ever seen.

is there a way i can add trackers to it ? and sometimes it gives error saying its not a valid torrent while its perfectly readable on pc.

Thanks on your advises, i think i understood now.
USB3.0 nothing help in playing move, it just helpful in transferring files.

Seem like should be enough go for 600A, cause i just need play 20GB-30GB mkv file through USB external hd, and no worry on heat issue on 600A as well smile.gif
Any one try before can 600A play movie on external USB DVD or BD room?

Anyone can recommend which shop selling 600A at Lowyat?

I am thinking of getting Himedia 600A but now I see 900A which is Rm100 difference.  I don't really need the 3D now but the 750Mhz is very good. 

My only concern now is whether the 900A firmware very problematic?  What I really need now is being able to play blueray iso with DTS-MA or Dolby True HD passthru.  Is 900A so far ok in this area?
*
Ya, agreed with you, only Rm100 difference to get more functions and better in spec.

But anyone tested can 900A support those 30GB above size .mkv file?

not sure though...in my opinion, I don't think they are exactly the same but they may have similarity in term of circuit board and wiring design
seller told me that accessibility of hd900a is slightly faster than hd900b...probably because hd900b is more complicated..


Added on February 18, 2012, 3:24 pmquestion,
can anyone share how to play android games on hd900a pls?

Are HD900A or HD900B have the function that can set to play on which desire track or clip location?
Mean can set where you want to start movie playing, not must play on start point of the movie.

Thanks.

that depends on the type of movie file you are downloading..  If you are just downloading normal 720 .mkv  for example you won't have 'tracks'..but if you are downloading miniBD or bluray ISO file then yes u will see the tracks.
*
What i mean is.......
Let say a movie clip (RMVB) total movie length is 120mins.
Today i play and watch till 80mins and stop playing the movie.
Tomorrow, I want to continue watch the same movie, can I set the time track and start play the same movie clip from 80mins?
My current old player can’t do that, I need to play the movie from start and fast forward till time track at 80mins then continue watching.

Thanks.

Hi 600A will ask me whether I want to resume where it stopped yesterday whenever I play the same movie again.  This is a default feature, no setting required.  btw..I'm playing .mkv movies 100%, so I cannot say .rmvb movies will behave the same..  But I guess it should!

hmm...... or any HD900A / HD900B owner can share your experience on this function?


One more question:
Any 900 owner can check your player and confirm this?
HD900A - only have Optical output
HD900B - have Optical and Coxial output.

Thanks.
