Closer Look

On either side of the HD2 we have various controls and functionality. First of all on its left side there is an SD slot for reading data, 2 x USB2.0 ports and a USB3.0 cable slot to connect the cable provided to and from a another device with your media on.


Variety of ports for reading movies, photos and music


On the bottom-side of the HD2 there are a series of AV out jacks, HDMI port, LAN port, optical and coaxial audio ports and a DC-IN for connecting the power pack to. As you can see from what we have covered so far, there are plenty of options in terms of how you can interact with the HD2.


Further functionality options at the bottom


On the right side of the HD2 there is a small door that opens out to reveal the 3.5” HDD. There are different versions of the HD2, one comes without a HDD so depending on what version you buy you may or may not see a drive here. It’s quite easy to remove or install a HDD inside the HD2 it simply needs to be slid into the compartment with the connectors facing the inside – these then marry up with the SATA connectors inside. In the next section we will take a closer look at the internals.

On the base of the HD2 there are 4 rubber feet to keep the unit from slipping around and 9 screws cross-head screws hold this back panel on. In the next section we will remove this back panel to take a closer look at the internals.
