Firmware Version 1.03

July 2019

What’s new:

• Added a Video resize mode function supporting Letterbox or pillarbox, Pan & scan and Fit to screen settings.
• Added a Custom video display area function to set the position, the size and the rotation angle of the video display area^[1].
• Added support for .OPUS audio files (OGG container).

Fixed issues:

• Enabled the LPCM playback in WAV and MKV containers for the most common sample rates (previously limited to 32 kHz and 48 kHz sample rates).
• Fixed an issue that made the playback of PCM multichannel audio files impossible after playing a large amount of files.
• Fixed an audio noise issue that occurred when the file played at startup was a multichannel audio file.

1. This feature may have an impact on the playback performance. When the video display area is rotated or when a part of the video is positioned out of screen, the video file resolution must be limited. In this case, the 4K resolution is not supported, and a 720p resolution at 25 Hz or 30 Hz is recommended.

Installation

The logic and functionality of the player are defined with an internal program called firmware. This program may evolve to bring new features, to change the behavior of the player, or to fix issues. The firmware can be updated or replaced by following these instructions:

1. Connect the player to a display device and to an Internet connection.
2. Turn the player on by plugging the mains adapter.
3. When the player is fully started (the status LED to turn green), press the key (or MENU) on the remote control to display the menu.
4. Select System settings, then System update, then Check for update and follow the on-screen instructions in order to complete the installation of the new firmware.

Note: to perform an “offline” installation with a removable storage medium, visit the support page of the player on http://www.id-al.com.
