Aria Media Centre Compact

[shavenlunatic]

Hi aria peoples.

I am pondering buying a 320 or 500GB media centre, do you have a shot of the back of the box (i.e. the connectors and layout) ?

When it comes to AV stuff I'm not in my comfort zone and I just wnat to make sure I have the right cables/connectors available to get this running out of the box. Basically it will be running on a TV (most of the time) which has scart and AV (those 3 coloured plug things, i think its AV.. *shruggs*)

The image would help as I can identify stuff on sight, just knowing what stuff is called has me feeling wary.

I think I have an svideo>AV converter, and an AV>Scart converter.. so I \"should\" have it covered, but I would still like to be able to see the back before I buy.... any ideas?

[quote:bcb413223d=\"PrivatePyle@Work\"]read up on here, there are people who have had issues getting the Aria media PCs to handle certain file types..[/quote:bcb413223d]

what file types specifically?


to be honest, that isn't really a concern of mine as if it doesnt play a given file type, i'll just convert it to divx... pretty much 95% of my movies are divx anyway and if they aren't, they should be :)

also, tried finding codec problems and/or other file problems (other than initial setup) and I couldn't

reviews seem ok, so got any specific examples?
