[skamalpreet]

1- yes
2- yes , just remember muting the tv audio or you'll have an echo'y kindda sound.

Okie dokie...finally ended up buying the mini via ebay where it was available for 3440 as special of the week as highlighted in the post above

Any others on the forum who bought this as part of the same deal? from this dealer from harshacorp from Ahemdabad, Gujrat?

 

[shamnadsn]

does it supports USB hub???

It supports. I am using iBall Piano 423 - 4 Port USB Hub. I connected two pen drives and one 2.5' WD 1T HDD. It works. But some times it slows when you switch on the mini because of initial scanning.

Kindly confirm whether the Mini plays MKV files in correct aspect ratio.How will a file with 1280 X 528 pixels play in the Mini ?

Will it play the file in correct aspect ratio adding black borders up and down or will it play in the 16:9 ratio trimming the left and right side of the video ?

Kindly confirm.

when I refer in Asus site they have mentioned DTS 2.0+ Digital Out for all models that means we get only 2.0 not 5.1 for DTS tracks ???

I am not using this player so I don't know exact detail but I saw this detail in asus player in their website also.

i had the same query before getting it hyeah:

don't worry you'll get dts 5.1 , here's your answer:

DTS-HD 2.0 + Digital Out denotes the ability of outputting
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio 2.0 Lossy channels directly to a
TV or external amplifier through analog outputs. Also capable of
outputting DTS-HD High Resolution Audio streams to an
external decoder such as an A/V receiver or pre-amp/processor.

[drkavint]

please consider hd2 before buying, because at 7,500.. u get extra 2 usb and wifi option also can add 2 tb hard disk.. i use the 1 tb hard disk to store devotional songs, videos, kid photos.. so morning i just switch on hd2 and play it. also stored vmy favourite comedies and movies downloaded on u tube.. though bit pricy is worth it. remote also better than mini.

 

[mailalok]

Switch off the player. Remove the stick. It's simple.
