That might work well provided your usb hub is sufficient powered. Kung gusto mo sigurado, just connect the wifi dongle sa back USB port and then connect a POWERED usb hub sa front - I'm using a 10-port usb hub right now with my A200.

makahanap nga ng Powered usb hub, parang makalat kasi pag sa front

Then use the back port for the hub and the front port for the dongle.

If you can find those cool-looking magnetic hubs, so much the better.

I use the front port for my hub because the hub attaches magnetically to my Onkyo receiver - cool!

Tokyo. Elecom and Buffalo brand.

Pero kahit na yung simple sa mga local shops there should work - basta sufficient yung amperage (500mA) per 5V port ne. Kung self powered lahat ng connected devices mo, kahit 100 or 200mA ay OK.

BTW, can the A300 play FULL-SBS in MKV?

Hindi talaga kaya ng A200 kahit in single MKV container na (as opposed to having 2 left and right files that have to be played simultaneously). I thought kakayanin pero wala talagang video. HTPC can.

Perhaps the A300's more powerful GPU/CPU can handle that na?

havent tried that yet

In my case I like to keep the front of the A300 clean. I rarely use the front usb port aside from firmware updates from a flash drive. I'm using a universal repeater functioning as a wifi bridge so I can use the ethernet port at the back. The cost of the universal repeater is a few pesos cheaper than the pch branded wifi dongle.

mga pre,

Do i need to install an internal HD sa A300 for me to use the NMJ v2 ? Balak ko kasi gumamit ng NAS (synology DS212) and have 2 or 3 PCH-A300 play from the NAS.

If hindi na kailangan ng internal HD, san nya i sa save yung mga content (pics/etc) ng mga movies ko when I use NMJ? pwede ba derecho sa NAS?

TY

[joms] · « **Reply #161 on:** Dec 28, 2011 at 11:11 PM »

How do you also turn off the unit? via remote lang by holding down the power button for 3 secs? or is there another way aside from pulling the plug?

Thanks

Can an external DVD player be installed to the A300?

scifi-fan · « **Reply #169 on:** Jan 11, 2012 at 04:31 AM »

Yes but it cannot play back retail DVDs (Dibidi's work though).

jzosa · « **Reply #170 on:** Jan 11, 2012 at 10:34 PM »

Question lang mga sir.

May nagkaproblem na ba dito about wifi connectivity?

Yung PCH A300 ko kasi minsan ayaw magconnect sa home network ko. My network is protected by WPA2 so I changed it to WPA tapos nagconnect sya. Then the next time I turned it on, ayaw na naman niya magconnect. So I switched back to WPA2, then nagconnect. Tapos next time na in-on ko, ayaw ulit magconnect.

Nagtataka lang ako bakit ganun. Pag hinihingi naman password ng wifi network ko, tama yung nilalagay ko pero sinasabi, "Could not link up. Please check password or local connection."

Help please?

Can the A300 play movies from NAS?

How much is the price?

JoeyGS · « **Reply #172 on:** Jan 13, 2012 at 02:49 PM »

Aside from being connected to a PC, what else can the USB slave port be used for?

Quote from: scifi-fan on Dec 15, 2011 at 09:21 PM

Yes it's a USB slave port.

Once attached to a PC, it will mount the internal HD on your desktop as long as you have the proper driver on your PC to read ext2 partitions.

It should work. I am just afraid the HD will die after repeated unintentional shutdowns (car ignition off).

2. Has anyone connected a BDrom or DVD rom player to the A300?

Yes. It won't play retail DVD/BD.

hi, newbie to popcorn hour, I tried dvdfab and dvd decrypter to make .iso of my dvd collection. PCH A300 does see it, but when played, black screen no sound also. My cinematube has no problems with the iso ( but hates mkv's ).

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.
