    RS232 is for serial control (Crestron, AMX, Control4 etc) - protocol attached.

    Think you're getting confused with the internal UART socket on the main board which allows U-Boot access.

    Thanks for your answers. Of course I have read the forum, but could not find those answers. Don't be so...

    1. Actually the differencest between Z9X and Z10 Pro are more.
    2. Obviously I am asking about the new 4K formats, not some old AVIs.
    3. Good!
    4. From the official support told me that it is possible. Are you sure it is not?
    5. Which few?
    6. I hope I don't have to use it
    7. They are offering it as possible, actually it is an Android app.
    8. They are offering it as possible.

    Nothing is sure or clear here, that is why I am asking.

    I'm sorry it was late and I was pissed of because I'm working for tinyMediaManager and maven doesn't work as it should but this is an other story.

    So back to topic.
    As far as I know:
    1. I'm listing only the differences from the specs
    Z9X
    16GB eMMC, rs232 3.5mm, 3.5mm AV output
    Z10 Pro
    32GB eMMC, one hdd bay, coaxial, RS232 3.5mm, RCA Cvbs, RCA Audio L/R Channels
    Z1000 Pro
    32GB eMMC, one hdd bay, coaxial, RS232, RCA Cvbs, RCA Audio L/R Channels

    2. 5.1 and high res audio for 4k mkv and iso does work

    4. I was wrong regarding my answer because I though about digital output. For analogue it should work then, but I think to use the A/V analogue output for high res audio doesn't make sence

    5. @Nice Monkey is the pro when it comes to high res audio playback

    6. Sorry I was wrong. Thank you @Markswift2003 for stepping in

    7. Since the devices running Android 9 for mobile not every app even when it's offered in the Google store work as expected. Eg. I have a Disney+ subscription, the app works to the point when you hit the play button, the nothing. Other apps like netflix, youtube or prime might work but with limited features like no 5.1 or no hdr.

    8. I've just checked on my Z9S and it offers ~90 different language settings for the gui, audio and subtitles. So I'm pretty sure cyrillic is supported.

    7. Can I install HBOGO and enjoy 4K and 5.1?
    Do you know that HBOGO nativly is broadcasted in HD format and stereo so how can you expect it to be played in 4K and 5.1???

    However there is a trick and you can install it via KODI and it works fine for me ( Poland). The app in useless unless you use Bluetooth mouse to scroll the page down and has problem with internet connection . Unfortunately Zidoo support is not the strongest. I have been waiting for support in HBO case fro some time now and I did not get any satisfactory answer to resolve the issue.
