I returned my Ainol V8000HDG to Ownta for a refund, because the V8000 does NOT support HDMI when used with American (NTSC-only) televisions. I tried the HDMI connection on three different NTSC-only televisions and it failed on all three.
Buyer beware: The Ainol V8000HDG does NOT support HDMI on American NTSC televsions.
Buyer beware: Ownta only returned 70% of my payment (and none of the two way shipping costs, which cost me around $50) because Ownta plugged the V8000HDG into a Chinese market PAL television and it worked over HDMI, so Ownta claims it isn’t defective. It is defective, because it only supports PAL (50Hz) signals over HDMI, it doesn’t support NTSC (60Hz) signals over HDMI.
Buyer beware: Don’t buy the Ainol V8000HDG and don’t buy from Ownta if you plan on using HDMI on an American NTSC televsion. It doesn’t work and you’ll lose your money.
Question: what will I do with my Ainol V8000HDB? I just stopped working and won’t open, I tried charging it, I have also tried connecting it to my laptop, but it won’t start? I do not know what is its problem? what should I do? I can not even understand the manual because it’s written in chinese. is there a restart button somewhere?
