I have been a long time looking for a Media Player to allude in our home theater all the multimedia files that are about on various PCs in our household. Really thought of this BluRay player LG 390 has a total flop in this regard but turned out to be.
The Emtec N200 but I have finally found a solution. For a price of about 99, - € to get a media player, the files from both USB disk, SD card as taking place over the network. He not only supports FAT32-formatted USB media, but also NTFS, which is especially important for high-definition videos, as FAT32 only allows a maximum file size of 4 GB. All my USB devices - different drives and hard drives - were directly detected without exception (which is not of course). The detection of network computers is working very well, be set up without even taking the PC as a UPNP servers must be sufficient, easy sharing of folders. With an optional adapter, the integration of WLAN instead of LAN is possible.
The N200 is extremely compact and has also elegant. The housing is made of metal, so finally no plastic part. In the picture he has HDMI connection for digital multi-channel optical digital output, but also analog outputs (YUV, RCA video) not be missing if you do not have digital connectivity.
The great benefit of Emtec N200 is the number of supported formats: ZunÃähst was important for me that can be played on HD DVDs copied. Here he not only plays - from how many other devices (such as the WD HD TV) - the VOB files themselves, but supports the IFO files, so that the DVD "normal" look, so with menu, chapters and language can. Super!
The number of different video formats speaks for itself: AVI, MKV, TS, MPG, MP4, MOV, VOB, ISO, IFO, DAT, WMV, RM, RMVB, resolution up to 720p/1080i/1080p. Codecs: MPEG- 1, HD MPEG-2, HD MPEG-4 SP / ASP / AVC (H.264), WMV9 (VC-1), Real Networks (RM / RMVB) 8/9/10, up to 720p. So far, everything geklaptt smooth and fluid, except for a MOV file (720p), the jerky over the network. However, I have obviously not even able to test all of the formats.
The audio formats (MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, AAC, FLAC) are extremely diverse: In addition to the standard MP3 and WMA and WAV fact he plays, and does uncompressed ripped CDs, and even Flac, ie lossless compressed audio.
Photos can of course also look at other information, as a slide show with music and various Überblendoptionen
Internet radio is also possible (not yet tested).
Overall, I am fully satisfied, because for me the important formats will be played with pristine quality.
Some Minsupunkte:
- The remote control is quite small and looks cheap.
- Turns the device you go with the remote control, it completely out (no stand-by, and therefore no power consumption), but you can turn it on again, therefore, not with the remote control, but must use the pressure switch setlich attached to the equipment.
