Setup is very limited in case of the Conceptronic CFULLHDMA as there are only 2 options, the “Network Setup” and the “System Setup”.
Network Setup is limited by selecting the DHCP or Manual IP configuration. IP Address, Netmask, Gateway and DNS can be entered manually when disabling DHCP, DNS is found automatically but can still be altered.
The System Setup holds more options pertaining to the Video and Audio settings amongst others. The language can be selected / altered here as well as the TV-Mode Settings, Audio Setup, Video Setup and finally “other” settings.
A quick run through the options available follows next: TV-Mode offers a selection of 3 video output configurations being S-Video & CVBs, Component and off course HDMI. For HDMI a range from 1080p up to 1080p is available in 50Hz and 60Hz (no 24p), while for component there is PAL/ NTSc and a range starting from 480p, 576p up to 1080p (25, 30, 50 and 60 Hz).
Aspect ratio can be set to Letterbox (4:3), Pan & Scan (4:3) and widescreen (16:9). The last option, where you select the use of “EDID” (auto HDMI), is disabled which indicates my TV does not support it according to Conceptronic. Correct, as it is connected to PC for screenshots. When setting the player to HDMI and 480p, output is active on the SD outputs as well. Audio Setup contains 2 options for Analogue and Digital where you can select SPDIF OFF/RAW and PCM for digital and Stereo, MONO L, MONO R and Mix Mono for analogue.
During the setup, we missed the option to enable/disable sound over HDMI, but this also make the selection of these outputs more accurate. Options for specific types should be offered separately for WMA Pro, DTS, AAC (if supported), where now one setting is forced for all types which might cause consumers to change the setting over and over again because of its general character.
In video setup, options to set BCS are available (not sure these belong here as we need them during playback to adjust movies that are darker or lighter than others). Some more options are stored under “Other settings”.
Initial setup
The player can handle external MKV subtitles. Conceptronic also stated the Grab 'n Go collection name is not because of grabbing the player and go somewhere, but "grab your media" and "go have fun"!
As stated, during the review conceptronic issued updates and that's one of the few things we missed updating along the way...
That corrected now.
Enjoy
