ASUS O!Play Network Media Player Unboxing Linus Tech Tips

2009-10-01
it's been a long day but I'm doing an unboxing anyway today we are unboxing via soos o play and this is the world's first Network media player that can play back our MVP now being the sort of person I am with the color skin that I have I don't really understand the value of that but my understanding is according to what people tell me that is the best format where you can download Asian soap opera so that's really important to a lot of people so let's take this plastic cover off now this is very similar in terms of the overall functionality to something like the popcorn hour or the Western Digital WD TV now let's have a look at what we've got her connect connectivity we've got right and left analog audio we've got just a composite video we have digital audio then we've got an HDMI cable that's the one that most people are going to be using because this is for HD content folks then we've got LAN power and then on the left side of the unit we've got a USB connection we've actually got an eSATA connection that's pretty awesome because that means that you can just throw your media files onto an external hard drive and then you can play them back over eSATA so there's the top of the unit and then the bottom of it now let's see what else we've got in here in terms of accessories so it comes in like a nice black packaging oh this is great it comes with all kinds of stuff so here we've got a composite video cable and audio cable then we've got power this is an AC power cord so that'll plug into the back of I'm gonna find out yeah there we go so there's an AC to DC power adaptor so your whole power set-up is gonna plug into here plug into the wall and then plug into the back of the unit like this and then we've got a fairly robust looking remote actually I would have expected to see something along the lines of the wgtv but we've actually got a fair amount of functionality here so there's your menu navigation here's where you're gonna play pause stop all that kind of easy stuff you got volume control and there's a bunch of other stuff on here frankly I haven't done a lot of research on this things we're just mostly doing an unboxing here here's your Quick Start Guide it actually only comes with a QuickStart guide there's no full manual but it does show you all of the different connectors all the functionality for the remote here so Oh a lot of that other stuff was you can change the subtitle in the language which is great for the target audience because a lot of those are going to be subtitled and that was pretty punch in it shows you where to plug it into and then it goes on to another language so that is the asou so play here is your users manual disk so I was mistaken it does come with a user's manual and then you've got some batteries for the remote thanks for checking out my video blog from the assuit Oh play
