The Product:

Please click on thumbnails for bigger pictures
The unit comes packed in this white and purple box with a image of the unit on the front. Inside you are greeted by several manuals in different languages.

Inside you will also find cables so you can hook the unit up right away; there is a component cable, USB cable, and also a remote. What I find odd is that they have not included a simple 1 meter HDMI cable with the bundle of items. The remote looks like most remotes on the market these day meaning that it’s simple to operate and the buttons feel comfortable.
