EHP 606 Review

For specifications, please refer to http://gainxs.blogspot.com/2009/01/ehp-full-hg-networked-media-player.html

From what I understood, my model is based on a older version of Popcorn Hour A-110 which is also based on the same Networked Media Tank (NMT) platform.

Opening the package

I got mine with a 1TB WD hard disk. In the package:
- Elektron EHP-606
- Remote Control  (2 AAA Batteries)
- AC Adapter, USB Cable, A/V Cable (Video with stereo audio) and one HDMI cable.
- User Manual

The remote control

The built quality is bad, after installing the HDD, I have “forced” the screws in to closed the cover

Before installing the HDD

I connect it to my Panasonic 37” LCD with the provide HDMI. On first power on, the set was trying searching/loading the system and after a couple of minutes, I call the support and was told that I need to press “TV Source” and “0” to set it to auto detect, else I need to connect it to a VGA.

Once on, I when to the setup to configure it to auto-detect.

I was happy with the quality of the software and ease of use. I so far only tested watching some HD movies and used the podcasts.

More review as I start using the device.
