***** ***** Reference Up Thumbs :-)

The Mede8er MED400X mini is well thought out from start to finish and perfectly implemented.

Media Server, the Dolby 5.1 can play, there are now a dime a dozen, but ....
Here is information coming to wrong tone format in a film shot by SAT receiver. This means that a film will indeed be broadcast in Dolby Digital 5.1, but in the file a soundtrack information of 2.0 is present. For the satellite receiver itself not a problem, but for many media server very well. The audio / data for 5.1 are in place, but it is only 2.0 (ie stereo) output. For example, the WDTV Live from Western Digital is not to recognize the actual audio format capable.

Not so the Mede8er. Here Dolby Digital is without complain, 5.1 output. Even if the info file is incorrect.

Furthermore are covers and Movie Sheets possible without detours and also on NAS drives. Via a hub, any number of USB hard drives connect.

The remote is clearly and extensively. Operation in the menu thought out and a manual really not necessary.

The device itself is solid and like visually.

In sum: 5 STARS "reference class"
