00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:09,120
It's been a long day, but I'm doing an unboxing anyway. Today, we are unboxing

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:11,120
the ASUS O Play, and this is the world's

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:17,119
first network media player that can play back RMVB. Now, uh being the sort of

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,880
person I am with the color skin that I have, I don't really understand the

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,880
value of that. But my understanding is according to what people tell me, that

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:29,439
is the best format where you can download Asian soap operas. So, that's

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:35,120
really important to a lot of people. So, let's take this plastic cover off. Now,

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:40,000
this is very similar in terms of the overall functionality to something like

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:44,320
the Popcorn Hour or the Western Digital WD TV. Now, let's have a look at what

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:49,440
we've got for connectivity. We've got right and left analog audio. We've got

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,280
just a composite video. We have digital audio. Then, we've got an HDMI cable.

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:57,840
That's the one that most people are going to be using because this is for HD

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:02,000
content, folks. Then we've got LAN power. And then on the left side of the

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,360
unit, we've got a USB connection. We've actually got an ESATA connection. That's

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,760
pretty awesome because that means that you can just throw your media files onto

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,840
an external hard drive and then you can play them back over ESATA. So there's

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,360
the top of the unit and then the bottom of it. Now, let's see what else we've

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,439
got in here in terms of accessories. So it comes in like a nice black packaging.

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,640
Oh, this is great. It comes with all kinds of stuff. So, here we've got a

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,439
composite video cable and audio cable.

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:34,320
Then we've got a power. This is an AC power cord. So, that'll plug into the

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,880
back of I'm going to find a Yeah, there we go. So, there's an AC to DC power

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,680
adapter. So, your whole power setup is going to plug into here, plug into the

24
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:48,560
wall, and then plug into the back of the unit like this. And then we've got a

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,799
fairly robust looking remote. Actually, I would have expected to see something

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,600
along the lines of the WDTV, but we've actually got a fair amount of

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:02,000
functionality here. So, there's your menu navigation. Here's where you're going to uh play, pause, stop, all that

28
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:05,520
kind of easy stuff. You got volume control, and there's a bunch of other

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,599
stuff on here. Frankly, I haven't done a lot of research on this thing, so we're

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:15,200
just mostly doing an unboxing here. Here's your quick start guide. It actually only comes with a quick start

31
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,640
guide. There's no full manual, but it does show you all of the different

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,599
connectors, all the functionality for the remote here. So, oh, a lot of that

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,200
other stuff was you can change the subtitle and the language, which is

34
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,360
great for the target audience because a lot of those are going to be subtitled.

35
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:34,319
And that was pretty much it. It shows you where to plug it into and then it

36
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:39,920
goes on to another language. So, that is the ASUS O Play. Here is your users's

37
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,879
manual disc. So, I was mistaken. It does come with a user's manual. And then

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:49,840
you've got some batteries for the remote. Thanks for checking out my video blog on the ASUS O Play.
