  • Transforms viewing experience, Looks professional and sleek, Makes your HD TV internet ready (if it isn't already), Extensive list of supported video and audio formats, Excellent value for money
  • Menu system in GUI can be slow, HDD cooling fan should be temperature controlled
  • We’ve seen plenty of publicity surrounding AC Ryan’s PlayOn! Range both at events and around the web but this is the first time we have come to consider one of their products for review – What impression has the HD2 left us with? Well it’s definitely ...

  • With so many features, it's hard not to like the AC Ryan Playon HD2, but we can't help think that it could be so much better. A few interface tweaks, some added functionality and a little more speed could make it one of the best media streamers on the ...

  • Multimedia decoding, Nice interface, High performance, welldesigned multimedia jukebox, Network playback, SDHC reader / USB 3.0
  • Low network speeds when copying files, Browser sometimes slows down, Web services poorly thought out and too heavy, Audio part needs improvement, Remote a bit cheap looking
  • A very good media centre that will delight those wanting to playback video files easily and effectively. Compatibility is excellent and the jukebox impressive. It doesn't get a 5-star rating because the audio side could be considerably improved....

  • When looking at this next generation player from AC Ryan one of the biggest new feature is the inclusion of a USB 3.0 connection. When connecting the HD 2 to a PC via the new USB 3.0 port, using the blue high-speed cable provided in the bundle, it tur...

  • Abstract:  Another day, another media player shows up in VR-Zone's office, where it sits on my desk awaiting its judgement in the form of a review. And this time, it is A.C. Ryan's Playon!HD2 which will be in the hot seat. How well will it fare when put to the test?...
