guys, let say I buy this player
I got 4k tv, but my amp don't think its 4k ready
but the amp has HD audio, non Atmos nor X

how should I connect this player?

Player (HDMI Out) to Amp (HDMI In)
Amp (HDMI Out) to TV (HDMI In)

or
Player (HDMI Out) to TV (HDMI In)
TV (Optical Out) to Amp (Optical In)
or
Player (HDMI Out) to TV (HDMI In)
Player (Optical Out) to Amp (Optical In)

If TV no Optical slots, then RCA cable.

:thumbsup:

still can't fully utilise 4k then
is there a switch/splitter where  q10 media pro hdmi out split 2, one goes into avr for audio, another goes straight to tv for video?

I bought it at 6099 before sst.during movie playback the options for soundtrack are usually dolby true hd or dts 7.1. No atmos selection or dts x selection eventhough the mkv have either dolby atmos or dtsx in the filename.im using the native himedia video player.
There is a panel which shows dolby atmos when my xbox one x is switched on. Im connecting all my source to the sound bar to get proper audio. The only thing im losing is the freesync feature in the xbox one x. Had to connect the xbox to the tv to get freesync but have to give up Atmos. Since without freesync its still ok, i wired it to get atmos.

Where to get cheaper? It was usd1699 before launch and i thought 6099 was ok since i had to preorder it from senheng

reposted from another thread:
i quite agree with the comments.

as i hv always maintained, the local playback function is probably the best thing about himedia boxes.

esp playing back with home theaters with higher video and audio capabilities.

I guess the comments were more for himedia then.

With android9 already launched, i will find it hard to buy anything new with android5 or 6.

You havent bought a new box yet?

no new model in sight...

i am also in buying mode to replace an old box.

but i will only buy one that does bd menu and do all the audio types.

if there is "q16pro"... like q10pro but w/o hdd compartment, android7 or 8, all else the same, i am quite happy to get one.

Hi, my Q10pro is Android 5.1.1

I wish to upgrade to Android version 7

There is no support page in Himedia website and the Futeko no mention how to upgrade 5 to 7. Only mention how to downgrade 7 to 5.

Anyone got links on how to upgrade and the files?

Thanks in advance.

i repost yr question here so that anfieldude can comment on atmos/dtsx... and OPT to comment on zidoo box.

i myself am a big fan of 1080p/2160p BDMVs and HD audio!

Q10pro...

Fimrware 2.1.1 is available.

Some people in futeko reported skipped subs fixed..? Not sure.

Will see over next few days.

Hi, am user of Q10PRo. Is there any risk of update to the latest firmware?  Am scare to see the phase "THIS FIRMWARE IS FOR EUROPEAN HIMEDIA Q10 PRO ONLY" in the webpage. Seeking your advice and your experience here.

can help if u describe;

.. where did u buy yr box?
.. hv firmware ever been upgraded and from where?
.. what firmware version is it on now?

How about the long overdue subtitle issue? Hope it's been fixed in the new firmware.

yes, some old videos esp old DVD rips can't be played.

afaik, there is not patch for them.

easiest way is to use MX Pro; VLC can so too but will not give DD/DTS like MX.

new Q100... just a bit of news...

available in moscow now.
from futeko, available 30 aug.

2 considerations:

1. what do u usually watch with the box-TV?
if mostly 2160p hevc playback, set to 2160p 24hz as this is most common.

if mostly 1080p playback and other apps... best to set to 1080p 50hz... becos most live streams are in 25hz, some 30hz.
if yr firmware is up to date (2.1.4), it does auto frame switching; so this part is actually taken care of.
only that it is annoying to see the messages flashing on the tv every time there is a hz change when u change a video stream.

2. how good is yr TV upscaling?
if v good, u might want to set to 1080p for 1080p/lower streams, let TV upscale.
the box can be set to 2160p to upscale too but it may come out not as good on yr tv - this u gotta try and see.

you can use those printer USB cable.
