AmoiSonic NDP9200 NetPlay DVD Player

[sicrecords]

What have you people heard? I just bought this player because the features look very impressive. I haven't found much by the way of reviews though so I'm very curious to know others experiences. Has anybody used this player yet?

I should have it tomorrow and I will post my findings as soon as possible. I see it just got added to the DVD Players list today (I submitted it on Saturday)

I've found the amoi player to be near perfect. While watching some videos through my network, I experienced some problems with the included 802.11b card. I purchased a $25 dollar wired pcmcia card from compusa and hard wired the dvd player. This has worked better for me.

It has played everything I've thrown at it: Divx, Xvid, VCD, SVCD, mpeg-1, mpeg-2 etc..etc.. For .asx and .wmv files I just encode them with tmpgenc first and then the player will work fine. It plays all my MP3's through the network and also plays my pictures/.jpg's fine.

So far it has been everything I wanted. The player itself is really suseptable to static electricty and a small shock and make the player go to la-la land. You have to unplug it and re-plug it in.

I can't find the code on my universal remote to control it, which would be nice so I don't have to use their remote, but it's okay because their remote has a lot of the network functions that my universal remote couldn't handle anyways. Also, the amoisonic remote can't control my volume because you can't program different codes in to it.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a solid 9 or 9.5. I wish the 802.11b was better but I blame the protocol and not the player. 802.11g just seems like it could handle things better.

Email me if anybody else has any other questions concerning this player.

Thanks
