To choose a home multimedia player, you should consider the basic requirements that must be met by this unit, as well as highlight a number of issues that need to be resolved in order to determine how you are going to use the player.
It is necessary
- - Media player;
- - remote control.
Instructions
Step 1
Explore the convenience of device management before purchasing. If possible, turn on the device, see if the buttons on the remote control are conveniently located, at what angle the remote control operates normally with the player. The larger it is, the easier it will be to control the media device. It may be better to stay with a remote control that works over obstacles.
Step 2
Appreciate how easy it is to navigate the media player menu. You will be very annoyed if you have to perform dozens of difficult operations to switch the movie. Check the screen quality and sound volume.
Step 3
Pay attention to the operating temperature of the media player. Some modern devices do not have active cooling, so you have to make sure that there is no overheating. This situation is exacerbated by the hard disk drive installed inside the chassis. As a rule, HDDs get hotter than the player itself, and their heat falls on the player's boards. Overheating of the device may impair its performance and functionality. To solve this problem, many manufacturers today install additional active cooling: fans in the player's case.
Step 4
Choose a suitable price segment. The most expensive models are those equipped with active cooling. In this case, there should be no problems associated with overheating of the media player boards, and this is not surprising, because the most advanced systems for playing multimedia files are installed here, which require appropriate cooling. It should be noted that in this case, the noise level during the operation of the player increases. Cheaper systems have a modest set of functions, but they heat up and make less noise. Choose a device based on how often you intend to use it.
