Z1000 PRO

No - there's no setting other than press and holding the power button which lets you chose between On/Off or StandBy.

I must admit that on initially pressing it seems as though nothing happens - If it's anything like the Z9S there is a delay of about 10s from pressing the power button to final shutdown but if watch a terminal log of the OS you can see the process starts immediately the button is pressed, either power up or power down.

 

THANKS! I will try that

 

What does pressing the button on the front of the unit do exactly? I am constantly pressing it once to turn on, whilst my better half is watching the TV and pressing it once more after say transferring titles from my pc to "turn off". Does the latter simply put it into standby? The Zidoo's settings are very confusing. I suppose what I'm asking is, is there a setting for "deep standby"- just a wee bit concerned, when the red light on the front of the Zidoo shows red, what the current draw is.

 

updated to .66 and now the sub title on/off global setting no longer works. Subs have to be turned off each time I view a show. This box sure has issues.

 

After using mouse button on remote, how to you end using mouse button?

 

Press mouse button again !

 

In poster wall is there a way to select the language in the trailers?
Solved!
The problem now is the messsage "there are no available trailers"

 

If you are using the mouse button a lot you might want to consider an airmouse:

I use it as my main control and it's smaller the the original remote and it has a keyboard.

 

lol, that was, of course, the first thing I tried. It had zero effect. Had to restart the unit.

 

When I tried to register for the Google play store function, the remote would do nothing until I used the mouse function. Otherwise, never use it. Thanks.

 

odd !
Dont use the mouse function a rarity but when i do always works and dissengages after .

But i often re - set as such the unit .

 

I have an episode of The Mandalorian in 2160p.
In the info I see it's 16/9 picture, but why do I get to see black bars top and bottom of the screen.
Is there a setting that I forgot to toggle in order to get full screen, or is it correct I get these bars?
In the menu while playing the file, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I select fit, full, original.
What am I doing wrong here?

 

It's correct - it's just the file that's 16:9, the actual presentation is 2.39:1 so has black bars encoded in the video. Very common.

 

Thanks for your answer @Markswift2003

 

It's me or the 2 hdmi ports are upside down on this player?

 

It's not the ports, it's the world that's upside down at the moment....

 

Lol maybe but that’s weird to have to twist your hdmi cable to plug-in. I suppose that it’s to make another difference with a Z10 Pro, and all the other zidoo players. ​
