WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:11.120
the ASUS O Play, and this is the world's

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:17.119
first network media player that can play back RMVB. Now, uh being the sort of

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:20.880
person I am with the color skin that I have, I don't really understand the

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.880
value of that. But my understanding is according to what people tell me, that

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:29.439
is the best format where you can download Asian soap operas. So, that's

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:35.120
really important to a lot of people. So, let's take this plastic cover off. Now,

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:40.000
this is very similar in terms of the overall functionality to something like

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

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:49.440
we've got for connectivity. We've got right and left analog audio. We've got

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:53.280
just a composite video. We have digital audio. Then, we've got an HDMI cable.

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

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:02.000
content, folks. Then we've got LAN power. And then on the left side of the

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:05.360
unit, we've got a USB connection. We've actually got an ESATA connection. That's

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.760
pretty awesome because that means that you can just throw your media files onto

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.840
an external hard drive and then you can play them back over ESATA. So there's

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

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.439
got in here in terms of accessories. So it comes in like a nice black packaging.

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

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:29.439
composite video cable and audio cable.

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

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

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:43.680
adapter. So, your whole power setup is going to plug into here, plug into the

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

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.799
fairly robust looking remote. Actually, I would have expected to see something

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.600
along the lines of the WDTV, but we've actually got a fair amount of

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

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:05.520
kind of easy stuff. You got volume control, and there's a bunch of other

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

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

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.640
guide. There's no full manual, but it does show you all of the different

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.599
connectors, all the functionality for the remote here. So, oh, a lot of that

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.200
other stuff was you can change the subtitle and the language, which is

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.360
great for the target audience because a lot of those are going to be subtitled.

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

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

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.879
manual disc. So, I was mistaken. It does come with a user's manual. And then

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.
