Elonex LNX Cube Multimedia System Comments

I agree with all of the above, except that i dtried hard disk connections. firstly it needs to be Fat32 format. NTSC just won't be read. I tried 3 disks, 750Gb, 500Gb, and 300Gb.
with the 750Gb which contained a large selection of mpegs, it got to about 98% read, then locks up. It did find the 300 odd films on (list number found), but does not get as far as showing the browser. by locking up I mean that only te Elonex screen is shown and no remote buttons work. Yoiu have to reboot to get it working again. the same thing happened with the 300Gb disk, whick only contained 20 mpegs. Leaving it for a while (assuming it takes time to read a large disk) results it it ressting by itself back to DVd source. with the 500Gb disk (2000+ MP3 files), it read the fist 1200, and reached 18% disk read before locking up in the same manner as the other disks. It would appear that there may be a limit to disk size or number of files found for a hard disk to be read. I posed this question with lonex support, and I am awaiting a reply. i will update this review when I have an answer.

On a lighter note, and something that is NOT mentioned in the manual, the DVD drive read all my mpeg DVDs (up to 5 films/disk), and played without a problem. Also, in addition to a "normal" mp3 cd, it also read my DVDs which contain a number of albums on each one.
