Korean text/font on the NW-A800 serie

[tjenna]

1. Has anyone tried if Korean song titles are displayed correctly on the European version of this player?

2. Is the volume high enough in the european version? If you compare it to the w810i, is it lower, higher or the same?

I've read some reviews and there's been complaints about the volume being to low.

3. If you convert a 700mb avi with the included software, how big does the file become? And does it split the video if it's long?

4. How is the fast forward function when playing longer videos?

The 1st question is the most important one, because if it can't display Korean text then I won't have any use for it.

because my whole music library is in Korean.

Thanks in advance, and I hope that someone can answer this. Or maybe try transferring a Korean song to their players. Please help me

1. I think you'll need Microsoft AppLocale if you want to transfer Korean songs. This is because SonicStage doesn't support Unicode, yet. Check this thread here. You can also set the player language to Korean if you want. I've transferred Korean songs before, so I know this should work.

2. From what I've read on other threads the volume limit is gone (correct me if I'm wrong).

3. In Image Converter software, you can set the bitrate to 768kbps or 384kbps, so I think it all depends on how long the movie is. A 40 min. episode is around 300mb (or around there at 768kbps). Image Converter also lets you "Divide the video into segments of the specified length" (5 min. to 390 min.). It is just a 2 inch screen, so you probably don't want to watch too many videos on this.

4. It's decent. When the video is playing, you can RW/FF in 1x, 2x, and 3x speeds. It's much faster if you pause the video, then RW/FF.

So yeah, it displays Korean song titles fine, but you have to get SonicStage to display it first, then you'll be fine. If you do plan on getting this player, I'd recommend downloading SonicStage, AppLocale, follow the tutorial I mentioned above, and see if the Korean characters display in SonicStage. If it does, then it should definitely work on the player. Hope this helps.

thank you so much for your answer. Now I'm definitely going to buy one!

I'll try downloading it and follow the tutorial now.

I'll let you know if it works later
