Philips SLM5500
Who on seek goes to a compact mediagateway, will certain its gading find at the Philips SLM5500. The apparatus is scarcely half as broad as the rest of our tested hifi-equipment.
The selections exits is earlier limits - because the apparatus so small is - only especially the flaw at a HDMI-exit falls us on. On the other hand state source that the Philips SLM5500 via its Component Video-exit image material can scales to 720p- or 1080i-resolutie.
The manuals is awful limits, but that was to be formed scarcely an obstacle. Connect on the network goes without note-worthy problems - also on our wireless network. As source the bijgeleverde Philips Media Manager-software as the menus on the screen its awful usersvriendelijk and logically built up. The SLM5500 supports moreover a lot of sizes.
As he can play for instance also AAC-audiofiles. source news thus for iTunes-users, you would think, but the bought songs from the iTunes-store remain refuse; there is no support for the FairPlay DRM-protection. Truces in the WMA-size may on the other hand source protected be.
On videogebied its we especially in our nopjes because we determine that the Philips SLM5500 no single problem has with the reproducing of HD-material (till even 1080p-files in WMV, MPEG2 or MPEG4 (DivX)). The DivX-support is otherwise very good and goes actually almost nowhere in the wrong.
Only with subtitles and several sounds ties, it goes wrong; we find no single manner the subtitles to set at or to change see foresee is the sounds tie - very strangely there in the manual and mediaserversoftware clear support for SRT-subtitelfiles. The remote control is certainly no model dared of design, but works source excellent.
