Separately want to note the presence of HDMI-cable is available in this model. This is a definite plus.Introduction
Frankly, until recently, I thought the thing in a media player, which are gradually replacing the TV with support for video playback from external media. However, a recent survey 3Q F216HC found a positive response from readers, so I decided to write about media players, given that the same company 3Q there are some interesting models. On one of them will be discussed in this review.
The appearance, size
At first glance, we see the usual black "brick", nothing stands out. But this is exactly as long as you do not take F232HWS hands. Housing player made entirely of metal, it's nice a cooling hand. The prints on this material is almost invisible. I liked this performance shell.
The front side is a push button with light ring (it glows red when the player is off and blue when turned on) and USB-port. The decision to place the port in the front is definitely good because it does not need to look for it in a dark room, just know that it is the right of the glowing power button.
On the back of the audio-video connectors, and to connect to a TV via a cable-tulips. Next to them you can see the charger slot, HDMI-port, Ethernet-port and a connector for speakers (S / PDIF).

On the left there is only SATA-connector.
Size of the player: 163x31x163 mm, weight 855 grams. In his hands he feels like a solid metal bar. However, hardly anyone would ever carry it with you.To build no claims, the player is well made, all parts fit tightly together. The only moot point - it's glowing red LED when power is off. I would like to be able to disable it somehow.
Panel
Included with the player is a full remote control with many buttons. In addition to the usual volume and rewind buttons, there is a separate joystick and buttons "home" and "back" to navigate through menus, and quick challenge and change the settings screen (aspect ratio, zoom). The keys have a short mild stroke, in general, I would have appreciated the convenience of remote control to "four".
Menu
The first thing that catches your eye - a file manager called ... "The Director of the file." This "fun" error immediately spoils the impression of a product, in my view, such "mistakes," prohibitive for the Russian company, I can only hope that this defect will be corrected translation in future firmware. In addition, there are other poorly translated or not translated at all points. Upd: updated the firmware in the Russification of fixed, download the firmware update may be out of here.In the file manager, you can quickly open the desired file on an external drive or a remote computer (when connected to the network via Ethernet-port).Applications. When you connect to the Internet via Ethernet-port you can use adapted for this purpose applications. Of the most popular it is worth noting Youtube, LastFM, Picasa and Flickr. In fact, this is not the most useful function, because the player no Wi-Fi module, and Ethernet-cable is not always located near the TV.Options. All settings are divided into five sections: audio, video, network, system, and others. You can change the language system, update the firmware your player, configure the network to change the resolution for video and view the current firmware version.
Play the video
The manufacturer declares support for the following file formats: MKV, AVI, WMV, ISO, VOB, MOV, ASF, TP, TS, TRP, MPG, RM, RMVB, video codecs: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, XviD, DivX, H.264, WMV9, VC1 and audio codecs: MP3, AAC, Ogg, M4A, WAV, FLAC, DTS.In fact, the player is really almost "omnivorous," he copes effortlessly with easy DVDRip'om, and with a heavy Blu-ray Rip'om in FullHD resolution. By the way, external drives formatted in NTFS, work fine with the player. For video, there are a lot of settings, such as changing the aspect ratio or zoom.The player copes with subtitles in the format. SRT, you can change their color, size, position, and even the font, but, unfortunately, does not play. ASS (this is a problem of almost all media players).You can adjust the playback from the point where you left off (translated, of course, a nightmare, "To approve the start of the last game").In addition to the usual rewind, rewind joystick is available, the average step - ~ 1% of the length of the video. However, if you use a rewind, then after it is now a blue box, it is removed by clicking the «Subtitle».
The player supports moServices 3.
Please pay special attention to the fact that moServices three other models have been developed by players from other manufacturers. Therefore, some of the modules and services may be inoperative or incorrectly behave. In case of such "inconsistencies" delete the appropriate module and continue with the rest.

Conclusion
The average price of model - 3000 rubles. For the money you gets a good media player in a metal case, with more functions and HDMI-cable included. Among the shortcomings I would point out the bad Russification (very much hope that will fix in future firmware) and nondisconnectable LED. In my opinion, the 3Q was a good model for those who want a regular room media player.
Pros:
Metal housing,
a good assembly
full board,
Support most popular audio and video formats
HDMI-cable included,
