1
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:15,400
today I have a media Network media player box to unbox and this is from a

2
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:19,840
new brand that most of you probably aren't familiar with but based on what I

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,320
know about the company and the people involved I am I have very high

4
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,359
expectations for this particular product so let's have a look at what we've got

5
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:33,600
on the front here in terms of features so it's HD ready full 1080p okay

6
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:39,239
supports hard drives up to 3 terab we have optional uh optional ability to add

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:45,640
Wireless N okay we've got gigabit LAN USB 3 that's a cool feature supports

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,960

9
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:52,760
are both supported it supports UPnP as well as DNA we have support for

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:01:00,320
subtitles including SRT SMI and SSA we can download files from HTTP SMB

11
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,519
or FTP it says allinone here what I

12
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,520
think they mean is in terms of file format so you got TS MKV mov M Peg all

13
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:14,159
of that on there it has a browser it supports web TV it supports bit torrent

14
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,240
and supports RSS so this is the AOS from

15
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,040
pivos let's go around to the back it supports USB wired or wireless keyboard

16
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,960

Bluetooth in this context bit torrent

32
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,800
files all right let's open up the box

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,480
and have a look at this guy like I said I mean the boxes for these Network media

34
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,640
players can say whatever they want but at the end of the day it's going to come

35
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,840
down to the software and like I said from what I know about the team behind

36
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:43,760
this one I have very high expectations for this

37
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,840
box all right so let's pull out the unit

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,319
itself and put it aside for now and then

39
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:55,440
I'm going to go ahead and have a look in here at what we've got in terms of

40
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,920
accessories so first thing we find is a

41
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,239
very large remote so unlike some of the barebones remote you see with these

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,959
Network media players this guy's got all of the numbers we could want uh you can

43
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,319
well it's got like record button and all this stuff here going on okay so I'm not

44
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,440
going to go too much in detail about which buttons are on there but you can

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,280
feel free to sort of here want to get in close and then just do like a pans shot

46
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:21,480
of everything that's on the controller okay runs off ablea batteries pardon me

47
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,080
AAA batteries and it comes with a couple AAA batteries for you to use next we

48
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,200
have a power brick pretty standard looking power brick nothing out of the

49
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,560
ordinary here and a power cable for the power brick plugs into the brick and

50
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:40,760
Powers the Box finally we have a USB 3

51
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:47,879
cable and that oh okay that's handy so the usb3 cable presumably plugs into the

52
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,799
AOS unit itself and allows you to yeah

53
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:53,120
to uh plug into your PC and transfer files to the internal hard drive that

54
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:57,439
you install very nice very nice feature so you'll be able to transfer things

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:02,040
much faster than competing players we've also got a composite cable which I would

56
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,840
definitely not recommend you use we've got a couple hard drive screws but yeah

57
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,120
you should definitely use um HDMI with a unit like this it is HD ready after all

58
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:15,760
here's your user guide including how to install a hard drive connect things to

59
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,959
it stream via UPnP all that good stuff so hopefully you can see everything

60
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:25,080
that's in there all right and next we have a quick guide get acquainted what's

61
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:30,840
in the box how to connect it to various things including your router your NZ all

62
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:34,160
that good stuff tips tips and more more

63
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:37,080
tips and let's have a look at the unit

64
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:42,680
itself so the front of it is a very sort of clean slick professional

65
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
look there we go it's glossy on the front and then it's got kind of a

66
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:52,240
brushed aluminum brushed Metal finish on the sides here it's got a little readout

67
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:57,400
for time little re readout indicating that it's playing back there's a USB

68
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,880
connection there's your IR receiver for

69
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:05,240
the remote on the top you can see we got a brushed Metal finish there as well

70
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,240
very professional look for uh AV

71
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Equipment look at that look how easy it is to install a hard drive oh that's

72
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,400
cool so all you do is you throw the drive in with these two pegs in the

73
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:19,759
right spots and then you put one screw here and one screw

74
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,360
here and Slide the oops you got to be right side up to do that and Slide the

75
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:30,440
whole thing back into the unit look at that very easy

76
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:35,840
cool I think I did it wrong yep after all that I did it wrong

77
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,720
again there we go that's how it goes back in nice and flush this time okay so

78
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:45,360
moving along to the other side not a whole lot going on there we got rubberized feet on the bottom once again

79
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:50,560
very nice brushed finish overall to the unit there's a USB 2.0 Port didn't see

80
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:54,440
that before so that you can just have this at the front of your media center

81
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:58,080
you can go ahead and plug a USB stick in there or whatever the case may be and

82
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:02,759
you can easily play off a USB stick now in terms of output options You' actually

83
00:06:00,039 --> 00:06:06,639
got a very wide variety on this unit because of it's slightly larger size

84
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,000
than some competing solutions that gives you a little bit more room on the back

85
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:17,759
for different options so you've actually got component composite coax and optical

86
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:22,599
digital audio out Lan here this is gigabit Lan mind you two more USB 2.0

87
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:28,520
ports so that was the one on the front and two on the back HDMI out USB 3 for

88
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,639
transferring files to the internal hard drive that you can opt install finally

89
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:37,919
power in and an onoff switch it does have a fan and hopefully I'll have a

90
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:43,639
chance to let you guys know if it gets loud but I wouldn't really expect it to

91
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:45,639
there's not uh not too much in here that

92
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:50,680
you'd need to have like a tornado style fan going on in order to get the full

93
00:06:48,599 --> 00:06:54,000
functionality out of the machine so actually give me one moment guys so I

94
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:58,919
missed one other handy feature there's actually an SDHC reader on the other

95
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:02,479
side of the unit opposite the USB 2.0 Port so if you take a video on your

96
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:05,240
camera for example and you want to show it to everyone you go ahead you take

97
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,840
your video you pop it out you throw it in there and now you can play it back so

98
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:14,199
with the included HTML 5 browser you can access all the best content on the

99
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,280
internet with your network share capabilities you can actually access all

100
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,759
the content that's on here from elsewhere including your other computers

101
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:25,960
at home with the file with the network browsing on the unit itself you can

102
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:29,560
access files that are Elsewhere on your network and finally you can access files

103
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,520
that are stored on the internal hard drive so it's a very fully featured

104
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,039
Network media player and I hope to have some time to check it out in the near

105
