First of all thank you for purchasing our product. The player model that you have can stream free online movie from known streaming apps like fanshion, PPTV etc. For you to access this feature you have to browse "Internet Media" from the main menu, select "RSS feeds", select ""VST" wait for it loads may take 1 to 2 minutes or so depending on your network. Upon loading it will provide many options, just select "Dian bo" (in chinese) and it will provide all the streaming apps where you can watch movies and TV shows.

Hope this helps.

Hi, External 4TB can be detected via USB connection. Not going to work if youre going to use it Internally or connecting it directly to the player.

May I know is HD3 able to surf web and streaming web site like PPS etc?

Can this player play a MKV file with Dolby TrueHD? My current PV73100 could not extract the stream, it plays the MKV file without audio.
Can it also play MKV file with DTS-HD Master Audio with full bitstream of the audio? Again the PV73100 could only extract that original DTS core stream.

Is there BD-Lite for ISO and BDMV? PV73100 tends to jump around the playlist, I get random chapters thrown in halfway through a movie.

Suggestion: consider a trade-in for older AC Ryan models. those who have had a rough time with PV73100, including me, would really like to appreciate a good media player.

Which firmware are you using? Do you choose downmix or passthrough? If passthrough, it depends on your AVR whether it could decode Dolby TrueHD.

My AVR can decode DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD.

Downmix to stereo is merely a work-around solution. am referring to passthrough for all instances.

What I have asked about is a well known limitation of PV73100 - the Realtek chip inside was not licenced for Dolby TrueHD passthrough and hence there was never a firmware update to address this. Pls read the old AC Ryan forum about this limitation for PV73100.

I am assuming that you have used the PV73100 and know what is being referred to. I am on the final firmware version but this is not relevant to the query, those who have used PV73100 would understand this.

Hope to hear some useful info from the AC Ryan rep.

Hi, it does not have PPS but you can use other streams like PPTV, Fanshion, Youku and a lot more. It is also not through the website, its via the pre-programmed apps running on the player.

Hi, this could be to the chipset version of your Player. Dolby and DTS HD audio is supported by PV73100 with C+ chipset. Other than that an amplifier or AVR must have HDMI input to support this feature too.

Thanks for the info.

Whether my AVR can decode HD Audio or not is actually irrelevant but since the questions have been raised, my Onkyo TX-NR1010 and Denon AVR-3311 have been used to play Bluray Discs with both these HD Audio with no problems using Wireworld Starlight 6 HDMI v1.4 cable, so let's stop trying to "trouble-shoot" my setup.

Since this is a Playon HD3 thread, let's refocus on the Playon HD3.

So can this new player passthrough embedded Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA in MKV files? I really am interested to know because I would like to upgrade my player!

Trouble-shooting Help needed

Hi TS

Just got my PlayON!HD3 from Challenger. I had updated my firmware to v10.1.4.r10128

I got some questions that the answers are not very clear to me. Please if you can, help me out. Thanks.

1. Changing of password
I tried to change the default password via Setup > Misc > Password.
After entering the default password of '0000' I entered twice my new password say '8888'. Immediately, the player asked me to enter the default password again without any prompt. Obviously my password change was not successful. Why?

2. Enabling/disabling File/Folder locking
I tried enabling folder locking. I browsed to the folder that I wanted to lock, but there is no option for me to set "Lock". Why?

3. PPTV
I cannot find this app pre-installed. Why?

Thanks.
