Fujitsu Siemens Activy Media Player 150 – All-Rounder with HDMI
The A/V client we received from FSC comes with a very elegant enclosure made of plastic. The receiver is barely larger than a thick DIN-A5 schoolbook. Audio and video connectors are found on the back, while the front sports a power button, the status LEDs and a USB 2.0 jack. Thanks to the USB port, you can easily attach external devices such as thumb drives or external hard disks and play back movies or music from them without going through the network. The AMP 150 is very easy to use thanks to its oversized remote control. The remote is comfortable to hold, and its build quality is good, too. We did find the multitude of options it offers a bit confusing though, since some of them don’t make sense at first glance. A closer examination revealed that the remote can control is designed to control up to four devices,, provided that they are compatible.
After completing the very easy installation of the box and its cables, you can configure the A/V player using the remote control. A “wizard” helps you choose the best settings, and after only a few minutes you’re ready to receive your movies or MP3-files from your uPNP server. UI navigation is simple, and even less experienced users should have no trouble using the AMP 150.
Try running your tests with a X-Box and PS3 as the end-point devices.
Mmm. I thought you would have looked that the TVIX HD M-4100SH. I have one, and it is truly the monkey's nuts. I'm using it with an NSLU2 unslung. Awesome combo....
