So today we're going to be having a look at the ASUS oplay air so this air
version the biggest most obvious upgrade they've made to it is where the air name
comes from and that is that they have added Wireless support to the older ASUS
o play so let's have a quick look at the box here you can see right there they've
called out on the front Wireless that is the big feature okay but let's have a
look at the features that they list on the side so if I can get the cameraman to have a look you can see where we've
got full support for most of your important HD movie format you have
support for photos now as well as a bunch of different audio and subtitle
formats okay they have a look at the unit itself multiple format support blah
blah blah isata is present it now has a card reader which is another cool
feature and then here we've got easy Wireless file sharing complete card
reader support to share photos on TV large screen with your family and
friends as well as o photo picture manager to organize your pictures by
date folder okay so let's open up the box itself here and oh okay there goes
ah a liner piece so you got a Slick Black Box and let's just take out the
opl air itself and have a look at the accessories first so you can see we've
got a pretty good accessory package let's see what we've got first of all
you will find a media remote that looks kind of
like a shortened um if you've seen the OEM Microsoft Remote it looks kind of
like a shortened version of that with no number pad so that is your oplay remote
and they've been kind enough to include a couple of AAA batteries for you
awesome okay then we have composite cable
all right if you're using an HD player though try to avoid using this because
yeah you're not going to get the best for you're not going to bet get the best
possible quality out of it then you've got a power cord a power brick as well as an O
playay HD Media Player user manual as well as the o link network connection
utility okay then inside we have an oplay HD Media Player quick start guide
so this is going to give you a general overview of what all of the different
connections are as well as the remote control buttons and wow then they
basically show you how to plug it into your TV so the setup better be pretty
easy otherwise people are going to have trouble with that so let's take out the
opl air itself and have a quick look at the
Box okay so it's not particularly large
by these media player standards it's a little bit bigger than a wdtv or wdtv
live but it's obviously much smaller than a popcorn hour so let's just take
this uh plastic cover off you can see it's got a very nice glossy finish to
the go away ah to the ASUS logo on the
top and then the rest is a matte like a matte black that'll fit in very nicely
with other media devices and then the front is a glossy black finish as well
as the side and the other side you can see little air ventilation holes up at
the top here because I mean you you've got a 1080p video Processing Unit inside
so you are going to need a little bit of ventilation for it so this side is where
you'll find the card reader so you can see we've got support for compact flash
SD as well as memory stick and memory stick Duo and then on the other side we
have support for USB as well as EA and
that's where you'll find a little Hardware reset switch should you need to
reset the device if it locks up and then on the back that's where we'll find most
of the gut so you can see all we've got here is composite so if you're using
analog you're using composite period and then we have HDMI as well as optical
audio out so that is your digital connection so they haven't given a whole
lot of connection options but this should service most of the people out
there then you've got a landport if you don't want to use the wireless as well
as a power plug the bottom of the unit has four little rubber feet and thank
