Vellfire/Alphard Home Theatre questions

CSYONG — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:33:54 +0800

hi all,

I recently bought a 2009 toyota vellfire with original home theatre.
Was hoping some sifus here can help with the following:

menus are all in japanese - anyone came across the translations on the net before? maybe an online manuscript of the menu in english i can use?

the dvd region i suspect is locked to NTSC. Bought some dvds for the children from speedy. apparently they are all in PAL format... anyway to unlock the player to play all regions?

Many thanks!

Asus A42jv or N82jv or Alienware m11x?

CSYONG — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:28:00 +0800

guys help pls,
i'm thinking of getting the N82JV, or save myself RM720 by getting the A42JV + RM180 to 4GB ram upgrade.
requirements: portability, work@home/coffeeshop/plane/airport, gaming: plays diablo3 altho i know its not out yet, and some popular FPS at med gfx settings. I also intend to get a 22inch monitor at the side for excel work

A42JV (RM2950)
-ve points include, no USB3 port, slower CI5 at 450M, lower webcam quality at 0.3mp, and 500gb HDD
+ve points include, cheapest alternative, bezel keyboard

N82JV (RM3850)
-ve points include, only 2 usb ports, higher price +RM720, and seems other users have experienced some issues with the optimus driver on this model
+ve points include, USD3.0, CI5 520M, higher webcam, 640gb HDD, nice cover (fav color brown)

additional consideration: i'm also considering alienware m11x CI5 at RM4199, without dvd drive and a longer wait. but specced out with 7.2k rpm HDD, 5.1surround, 1333mhz ram and of course its AW...

question: which to go for?
better question: anyone can suggest a place with more discount?

thanks
