Try ko later. When you say embedded subtitles, you mean hard-coded right? So part na sya ng video talaga. It's just a question of whether it will play MKVs or not.

Pros
1. Read the powered 2 and 3 TB hdds.
2. Read mp4 and mkv files with audio.
3. Read some flv files not all.

Cons
1. Recognized my 2 2TB portable hdds but will not read the files. Di siguro kaya i-power nung usb port.
2. If may default subtitle yung file it will display it but in a gray box (bad trip). There's no way to turn off the subtitles or change it to other subtitle files (mas lalong bad trip).
3. Seems to not support DTS contrary to what is indicated in the box (bad trip na naman!)

got the dv1402 wednesday last week. it broke 3 days after.

was watching a program in channel 2 when all of a sudden, the signal stopped along with all the other channels that ive scanned. ive tried re-scanning and was not able to pick up a single channel. placed the supplied antenna everywhere and re-scanned about 10 times but no good. hooked it up to an external UHF antenna and nothing. went to Taytay, Rizal(im from Angono) and hooked it up to a friends tv who also has the same unit and nothing. went back to Angono and tried it to my titas tv(shes in the rural area of the town) and nothing.

sent it back to SM Appliance for testing. they texted yesterday saying i need to get the unit back, take it home and call the suppliers(Search) tech support hotline for a documented troubleshooting but i told the manager that ive done everything thats on the manual and also added the other steps i did. she went back to the supplier and a few minutes later, was informed that the supplier will have my unit upgraded to DV1501 to ensure that i get better signal quality. the only downside is, i will have to shell out the price difference(roughly Php300).

im ok with that. sayang lang yung 1402 dahil its so small, its gonna be a great addition to the car.

Did they tell you why it broke down, sir?

I've been using the DV1501 for 2 months now sa bedroom tv namin, happy naman kami and using the provided antenna it can get a signal even without any open windows(because of aircon). Using the media player almost every night to watch movies & tv series, the PQ is better than the built in media player of our Samsung tv. I haven't encountered issues with default subtitles with gray box, though I can always add/remove that background box in 3 different colors & change subtitle files via the menu by pressing "CC" button & select using left/right/up/down arrows.

Koolkat · « **Reply #127 on:** Oct 12, 2015 at 12:35 PM »

Got the DV1501 last Saturday. Glad I chose this over the ABS-CBN one. The media player is very useful. Signal is great sa Paranaque area. Very clear and walang stuttering. Free ba talaga yung Jack TV? Yun lang ata ying wala ako eh.

Tlaga boss meron kaka lahat ng channel? Ako kabibili ko lng kahapon pero abs cbn1seg,abs cbn,gma,gma1seg,sports&action lng nakkuha ko.pero bkit ganun boss,blurred ung 1seg sakin na channel like gma 1seg and abs cbn1seg?

And ung about boss sa ABS CBN HD,nasasagap ba un ng dv1501?

Yung "seg" pagkaka- alam ko pang mobile devices, medyo mababa lang talaga resolution nun.

Kier · « **Reply #131 on:** Oct 19, 2015 at 11:18 AM »

Presently, sa area ko kahit yung abs-cbn tv+ hindi rin kasama sa nakukuha yung abs-cbn hd. Pero dati yung tv5 may test broadcast sa hd pero hindi rin naman magiging hd sa tv+ kasi rca lang connection nun. Mas maganda siguro yang RCA brand dahil kapag may nag broadcast ng HD eventually, mapapanood mo in hd dahil hdmi na ang RCA.

hindi boss e. they only asked why i returned it tapos they wanted me to take it back, take it home and do the actual troubleshooting over the phone para daw ma-document nila.

i have the 1501 now, btw. so far so good, malinaw lahat pera na lang sa Jack TV, etc at iba pang channels na hindi ko nakuha dahil according the isang online source eh sa Mandaluyong yata naka base yung transmission at baka mahina na ang signal samin.

sayang nga at matagal pa bago gawin mandatory yung pag switch off ng analog signals sa Pilipinas. di mo din masisisi dahil halos lahat ngayon di pa nakaka led/lcd tv at para makapanood yung meron eh kelangan pa nila bumili ng ganitong tv box. tuloy itong mga local networks kahit nakaka regular viewing ka na, ok lang magpatay patay muna yung transmission nila dahil pinag aaralan pa yung system.

and to update: the weather yesterday had no effect on our digital signal. brown out lang ang kalaban, buti hindi pa nangyari hehe. so ayun, malakas ang ulan at hangin - tuloy ang regular programming. at magaganda ang mga chicks sa Wowowin lolz

Koolkat · « **Reply #138 on:** Oct 21, 2015 at 05:33 AM »

^^When I first tried my unit, ganyan din yung akin. Ayaw basahin yung flashdrive ko. I just rebooted it, then gumana naman. One time pa lang naman nangyari.

Pag naka standby ba ung RCA box nyo mga boss,naka display ung TIME?

Koolkat · « **Reply #140 on:** Oct 22, 2015 at 03:51 AM »

Akin, hindi. Naka red light lang pag naka standby. Although I haven't read the manual yet so baka hindi lang naka set sa time.

silent_loud21 · « **Reply #142 on:** Oct 25, 2015 at 09:03 AM »

dv1501 user. I had hard time

switching back to original screen aspect ratio while usb movie playing . The "red button" indicate "preview/fullscreen" is the only option I noticed while on "usb" menu. Even I set it before to menu setting "screen ratio" still the same. Is there any other option to play usb movie to original aspect ratio... please help $:-\$

deist · « **Reply #143 on:** Oct 25, 2015 at 04:43 PM »

Go to menu, then under "option" tab (globe/world logo) change the digital audio to "raw".

Guys need some help in deciding what to get.
1. The RCA DV1501 cant be used in the car without an inverter since the power plug is fixed and not an adaptor type?
2. The RF loop is used for what?
3. Either using the RCA or HDMI still have the same picture quality?
4. What is the Coaxial connector for?
5. USB drives should be powered or it can run self powered drives?
6. How long is the antenna cord since I like to place it near the window?
7. Does the older model be used in the car with an adaptor?
8. How does it do recording?
Thanks in advance.

7. Pretty long. But in any event, you can add an extension. Just purchase a cable and a connector. That's what I did.

Here are my best answers, hope to satisfy your concern:
1) Yup, you will need an adapter to use it in your car. That's I guess the other model comes in.
2) Antenna extension I guess? The manual says it's and RF "Out" too, so I think that's an extension.
3) Most likely HDMI is better as RCA cables are already a thing of a past, RCAs are analog type. Besides there's a reason why there's and "HD" in HDMI.

But don't forget that picture quality is also affected by the signal received.
4) The coaxial looks like for media setup as stated by the manual.
5) Do you mean the large SSD usbs like external HDD? I am not yet sure, but the box is powered by ac so I think it can run those kind of devices.
6) Around 5-6m, plus the magnetic base is a good trait for me since our window frame is metal.
7) If I remember they're also selling a car adapter for the old model of the same brand.
