Lots of bad reviews out there so I fugured I would help this product along. While I am sure there are better units out there, this only cost me $33 shipped with no tax. The only downside I see is the lack of network connectivity. I have a Xbox 360 at my main and bought 2 of these. 1 for bedroom and 1 for a motorhome. They are nice and small. About the size of 2 packs of cigarettes. Great remote, HDMI, Digital audio. If you use HDMI the audio will be passed throught the HDMI cable. I tried a 2 gig thumb drive and a USB powered 2.5 external hard drive and it played the AVIs, JPGs and MP3 no problem. Picture was great but the AVIs were not HD, so more like DVD quality. Some minor skips but nothing major.
ReplyDeleteI would not be scared off by all the negative reviews and if you can get it at the $30-40 range it's a steal. I notice the price on these changes daily. The lowest I have seen it was $28.96.

I got this as part of a Black Friday deal. I returned it this week. I liked the size, for me smaller was better. I had no problems connecting my USB flash drive or connecting this to my tv with an HDMI cable. I was unimpressed with the menu. I was able to see all my files, photos showed up, a video I took with my cell phone played. But then I got to the videos, supposed to be AVI files, that would not play. This was the main reason I purchased this unit. So, I made the decision to ship it back since it was basically useless to me.

Decent little media player for the home but does not play all file formats so beware! I own one now and can't use it

This was a fantastic idea and reasonably priced. I thought I'd use it to play my existing library of mp4 content. It turned out that it didn't support my content, and it didn't support all standard usb drives. I was expecting a plug-n-play device that just worked, and it isn't. Maybe it works fantastically well if you do have the supported media and supported USB drives. I don't know. I returned it. I'd consider the next generation model, but only after reading all the reviews.

Priced Appropriately for the Functionality. Make Sure You Read the Specifications Carefully. External Hard Drives Must be FAT32 Formatted. Divx (xvid + mp3) @ 704-width seems to work well. If Sony Supplies a Firmware Patch that gives this device Full-HD support, it'd be 5-Stars...
