I was looking for a simple & inexpensive player for a family member so they could watch various videos and digital pictures on their TV. This player did the trick. It doesn't play mkv files, but I realized that from the start & was more interested in something cheaper that would simply & mainly play AVI files. For the price of around , you can't beat it & it has performed well. I personally have a Western Digital & Seagate media player and they play a lot more formats as well as being able to connect to my home network via an ethernet connection, but they also cost substantially more so its all relative.

This player also doesn't have full HDMI capability (like my Seagate or WDTV have), but my family member doesn't have an HDTV anyway. Rather, they have an old "tube" TV with several RCA inputs so HDMI would be useless for their needs anyway. Again, its all relative as the price reflects its features.

I like the fact that it allows media to be played from either a SD or USB device. This gives it a little more flexibility as SD cards can be gotten for cheap these days as well as easily being able to view digital pictures since a lot of cameras use SD cards.

Another feature I like is the fact that it will resume videos when powered on. This is useful so you don't have to worry about trying to fast forward & figure out the point where you stopped watching.

As mentioned before, it does initially start up in Chinese so you have to do a few key strokes on the remote to get it to switch over to English. It would have been better if it defaulted as English, but this wasn't a deal breaker for me. Its not hard to do & once converted over to english, you are good to go for the rest of its use (unless you totally reset it).

If you are looking for a "simple" non-networkable, non-HDMI capable player that plays limited formats (no MKV) compared to other more expensive players, but for a low price, then this little device will satisfy your needs. Simple & cheap is the motto here and accomplished rather well.

Having now worked with Jack at Micca, I can say that I am thoroughly impressed with this company. I originally left a bad review, but Jack at Micca swapped out for a new unit at their expense and this one worked very well! I think the problem with the old was just a bad cable. The updated manual can now be downloaded from their website, and that helps a lot.
