The AC Ryan Playon! HD2 is very similar in design when compared directly against its predecessor. The front looks almost identical with the name of the company highlighted above a large power button. There are four large rubber feet underneath the unit to hold it steady on a variety of surfaces. It is 230mm x 165mm x 60mm in diameter and weighs 590g.

On the side of the HD2 there is a card reader, two USB 2.0 ports and a single USB 3.0 slave connector. This unit can be connected directly to a PC for quick transfer of media files. This is a great idea and we love the USB 3.0 connectivity, as we hate waiting for large media files to copy.

The rear of the product covers all bases. There is a HDMI 1.3 port which can output up to 1080p @ 60hz. There are also composite video and audio connectors, component video connectors, and a Gigabit capable lan port (10/100/1000). Digital audio out is also offered with coaxial and optical output.

On the other side of the unit there is a ‘quick access' hard drive panel. This means you no longer need to whip out a screwdriver to get access to the hard drive bay, for example if you are upgrading storage.
