I turned it off already but hindi pa rin ma-recognize. Pero if i use it as a slave and connect it to my sister's wdtv live na-recognize naman and na-access namin yung files. Looks like i need to buy another 2TB HDD.

I don't know, I would assume it to be the same range as other remote controls.

Got my ac ryan play on essential yesterday, great player, plays everything, even the media files that doesnt play on my wd tv, pq is better, easy to navigate and fast gui, updated to the latest firmware from the website!

By the way, how can i skip parts of the movie? I n wd tv all i have to do is press fast forward then press the skip button and it would skip further, it makes fast firwarding much easier, how can i do that on my play on, thanks

Hi Guys,

Need your expert advise..this is my first NMT..i bought an AC Ryan PlayOn HD2 last week..so far i like the picture quality..colors are brilliant..GUI is great especially the movie jukebox.

Here is my problem right now..i tried playing movies with DTS 5.1 (1536kb/s) mkv files..but after a minute of playing the movie the sound disappeared and then came back after a few seconds, after a few minutes the sound disappeared again and came back again after a few seconds.  Its kinda hard for me to figure out the problem and badly need your help to solve this one.  By the way, here's my current setup

TV = LG LD460
HT = LG HT805PM (5.1 / DD / DTS capable)
NMT = AC Ryan PlayOn HD2

i connect my HT to the AC Ryan via optical.

Thanks!

As long as it has DTS audio..i already played 2 movies with DTS Audio (Tron Legacy and Transformers) and the results are the same.  Do you think its my optical cable?in my audio setting..im using SPDIF Passthrough.

All AC Ryan media players are sold with out hard drive. however I am sure that most of the stores can arrange a loaded hard drive for a small additional charge. AC Ryan Play On HD 1 is P8,300.

This happened to me before with my POHD1. the culprit was the optical cable that I was using. after changing the cable, audio was back to normal.

Guys, do you know what port I should set on my router for port forwarding to the AC Ryan PlayonHD. I'm using r3966 firmware.

For those trying to access the web interface, type the IP address and add :1024 at the end

Nevermind, found the answer. Port Forwarding should be set to 80 on your router with latest firmware r3966.

Only the power button is in the front, everything is operated by the remote.

to my fellow ac.ryan nmt owners, I just woul like to share that our realtek based nmts are capable of playing 3D mkv like the SBS type, just connect it to a 3D ready plasma/led/lcd then select the proper 3D setting that match your mkv 3D file type then you're go to go, enjoy 3D content from our ac.ryan. in my opinion its pq is comparable to a 3D blu-ray player. ;D
