Measy A8HD2 Home Media Player

I purchased the Measy A8HD2 Home Media Player the other day.

The Measy web site says this concerning the player.

"The A8HD2 is really a total HD entertainment center. Appreciate your music, video and pictures when and exactly where you would like it--in your living space, bedroom, den, or anyplace you've a Television. As soon as linked for your home network, the A8HD2 accesses Computer stored media content material to play HD music in your surround sound program, view your home films and show a slideshow of one's pictures all in your large screen Television."

I discovered couple of issues installing it. I've a Measy AirPlus(TM) G DI-524 Wireless Router which I've utilized to make a wireless netowrk right here. The Home Media Player discovered the network and linked effortlessly.

The home media player server software program was not fairly so intuitive nevertheless.

There had been a couple of small issues that had been not apparent so I had a number of goes at setting it up prior to obtaining it correct.

Initial off the software program only runs once the Computer is logged in, not only turned on. I set up it on my SBS server after which logged out. Whilst I was logged within the software program was operating and also the HDD Media Player picked up the server and immediately discovered all of the shared files. Nevertheless as quickly as I logged off the server the Media Player couldn't discover the server. I've compromised on this for now by logging in remotely towards the server after which killing the login session whilst leaving myself logged in.

Second the Media Player can only connect to 1 server at a time. We've media files spread across a number of machines on our network right here. The SBS server holds all of the music, pictures and some home video. My Computer includes a difficult drive with film files on it and among the children PC's includes a folder with all of the children cartoons and children films. So my initial try at establishing media servers on every of those machines, even though succesful, was aborted since the media player could only connect to 1 at a time. I needed to create it as easy as you possibly can for the loved ones to navigate. The answer was to map all these drives onto the SBS server, after which share them from there.

Lastly I found that my folder structure (whilst fine to get a Computer) is probably not the very best to get a media server. Getting plenty of folders is not the simplest method to navigate once the hdd media player lets you only navigate via a page of eight folders at a time.

I'll most likely finish up purchasing a few 250Gb drives and mirroring them inside a raid array on 1 Computer and setting the server up on that, after which moving every thing to it.

When it comes to the operation with the media player it operates nearly flawlessly. Definitely I had no issues when I attempted the wired network connection. We've noticed the odd freeze of each music and video when operating wirelessly. Our media space is 20 metres away from the closest network connection (also the Wireless Router) - and about 35 metres in cable run distance so we favor the wireless connection.

The setup menu is nicely laid out and pretty intuitive. Program is exactly where you discover the choices for the media server, which was probably poorly named. Nevertheless every thing else is great. You are able to alter aspect ratio and video and audio outputs. Sadly you cannot do this around the fly from inside media (eg pause a film and alter aspect ratio) but its a easy matter to exit the film, go back towards the primary menu and alter the setting then go back and restart the film.

Sound and video is fantastic and upscaling for low resolution materials onto the large screen is fantastic. I have not attempted it using the projector but but I'll later.

We're operating the optical audio out and also the sound is extremely clear. It's now displaying up my home cinema five.1 surround program. It's because of be replaced in September with some much better HiFi gear.

I rate this home media player extremely along with a fantastic addition to any HiFi or home theatre program exactly where the user includes a great deal of media around the Computer that they would prefer to have the ability to see on their Television, large or little screen. It could just as effortlessly be relocated towards the bedroom temorarily to view a film in bed. Our small bedroom Television linked effortlessly even though only composite audio and video connections the image was crisp and also the sound clear.

In this expanding globe, technologies is expanding at a super speed and also the hd media player is becoming probably the most essential option of utilizing info and storing with CD players and computer systems. You'll find that these players should be accessible in each and every household item. The powerful benefits of those devices are comfort, individuals can shop a big quantity of info correct in their hands.

Contemporary individuals have more powerful interest within the newest technologies simply because they generally have disposable money in their hands. Educated and young clients ought to purchase these goods with wisdom. It is essential to create comparisons in between various kinds of devices and select the device that meets the person customer's requirements.

Individuals can use this hdd media player utilized for playing songs like audios and videos and to shop info. In CD players you are able to shop as a lot as 30 songs and no much more, and also you need to alter the CD each and every 20 to 30 songs within the CD player, so it is much better to go and select HD player. However, HD media player can hold a large number of music files at 1 time and play them. The amount of songs truly depends upon the quantity of memory area accessible around the device.

The much more gigabits the HD media player holds, the greater the cost. The HD media center can have 2gb, 4gb and 8gb that will hold songs someplace in between 300, 800 and 1500 and so on. And also you can shop a minimum of ten hours of video area in 4gb player. Many people wish to play all kinds of files and however, many people stay stuck to particular kinds of files. As in comparison to mp3 device the mp4 device is fairly new 1. The new name indicates the following version of HD media player.
