maxed-out on sarcasm meter...

LOL!!

Can we use this - i.e Optical cable to carry the audio signal (DTS/DD) to our reiciever and decoded by the reciever??

It only output raw audio signal from our movie files.

If you use ur TV to output the sound, only stereo sound can be heard. Not DTS.

for DTS, u need at least a home theatre set or AV receiver with DTS. Either via optical cable or HDMI also can, no RCA jack.

jsy got my WDTV this eve. Not yet try HD movie files yet. Only avi - season series...
Anyone wanna share their collection of 720p/2080p movie files??

Erm, planning to get one for my cousin tomorrow at Low Yat. Anyone know which shop has it in stock? The last time I was there (about 3 weeks ago), I couldn't find any. Also, what would be the average price..RM 400?

Thx in advance!

Welcome to join the WD TV owner!

can get around RM365-RM405....All IT selling for RM419
i saw few units on display at Cycom

I have try out the WDTV units for 2 weeks now. In fact I have sold many units of it now and still have a couple sitting in my house waiting for delivery. Now I am not a dealer or anything like that, but I just help my friends purchase it and setup for them.

All I can say is that the WDTV rocks! It can play HD mkv files up to 1080P. When you say the quality can't compare to the Bluray, I fully agee with you, but I can tell you that the quality of mkv files can be damn good that you can't really tell much difference between bluray and mkv. With 1TB WD HDD that comes with 1000 movies/concert...i can tell you that this guys is going for quantity and not quality. I have a few WD 1TB Essential HD and I can only put around 200 HD movies in it. And those mkv movies that I have is only slightly inferior to bluray and i really don't mind at all.

I have a few 1080P mkv movies that is more than 10GB in size and I can tell you that the quality is absolutely great.

So the bottom line is that the WDTV can display FULL HD video with clear, sharp and details video if you have the right HD contents for it.

The WDTV does carry audio on the HDMI. For those who would like 5.1 or 6.1 surround, you need an optical cable. The WDTV can decode AC3(dolby Digital) but has no on board DTS decoder(common guys...this things only cost RM399) so you need a receiver with DTS decoder if you want to enjoy DTS sound.

The WDTV can also support multiple audio channels and subtitiles which can be turn on & off.

Besides that the WDTV can even play your favorites music and supports FLAC lossless audio for the audiophiles.

For the price and features...I think this is the best media player money can buy.

I am not sure about HD audio passthru because I don't have a receiver that support it and I am not planning to get one soon. For me those DTS and Dolby Digital sounds that comes with the MKV files already sound awesome on my Denon AVR3808 and you can hardly get mkv files with HD audio. So far I am absolutely satisfy with the picture and audio quality of my 300+ mkv collections.

as i said m2ts with hd audio rather than mkvs. Yes most mkv is dd or dts. Cant argue about free mkvs though. Hehe.
