The last one from Sigmatek, it's going to replace the XM-300F. It has almost the same specification, but with a slim design. Furthermore, its price is also attractive around 50 Euro.
Equipped with a Mediatek 1389DE chipset, it does not innovate by its features, but since the last firmware release it makes all that we can expect from it.
The only reproaches we can make are it can't play WMA streams in AVI file and it's not at all compatible with DTS streams (decoded or pass-thru). Otherwise, it can play without problems DivX 3/4/5 and DivX 6 (multi XSUB subtitles and multi audio streams), XviD (including those with option "Packed Bitstream") and subtitles in SRT, SUB, TCT, SMI and SSA format.
A good player for a small investment, wiating the next generation of new players compatible HD, Nero Digital, DivX Pro (with all option), etc. |

| 2005/12/20 : New site for the Sigmatek XM-380 Pro |
|
Again a new site, this time for the Sigmatek XM-380. And with this new site, there are new unofficial firmwares to improve your player.
Thanks to MTZ and Cocute for the following improvements:
- Charset update (2 differents charset) to display special characters
- Increase subtitles size
- Long filenames are displayed in file browser
- Lowered subtitles area
- Volume at top-left
- Introduce Laza icons
- Turn Off elapsed time at the beginning
- Zoom Icon to Disapear after a few secs
- Remove the JPEG preview in file browser
I remind you upgrading a player with unofficial firmware stops your garanty if you crash the player accidentaly. So please take the time to read the upgrade guide to minimize the risks. |

Here we go! The new site for the Sigmatek XMB-510 is alive, after a long work to recreate from scratch the new version 3 of the Sigmatek-players site.
This player is really beautiful and can be fixed on a wall, near a flat screen.
This site is going to grow step by step... you can already visit specification, the FAQ and the pictures gallery. |

Here they are, but take care, not a lot of pieces are distributed, so if you're impatient...
The first one to announce availability is Pixmania with the Sigmatek PVR-820 at 350€ (in France and it will be different depending on your country).
Don't hesitate to come to discuss about it in our forum. |

With a different design compared to the other Sigmatek players, the XM-380 Pro also points out by the presence of an USB port.
filoufilou, a lucky user of this player, just come to receive one piece.
He's going to give us his first feed-back.
Waiting for a new site dedicated to this player, you can join us in the forum part already created for it.
And if you're already convinced it's becoming your player, then you can already buy it using DivX-Compare. |

| 2005/02/17 [ Sigmatek-Players ] : Important changes for Sigmatek After Sale Service! [UPD] |
|
Sigmatek is not accepting defective equipment under warranty directly from customers any more. You will have to contact your retailer or other supplier.
For example, if you used Pixmania and your player develops a problem, you need to contact them to return the player, not Sigmatek.
For non-French people, probably like you, it's not really important, because you probably already use your retailer in case of a defective player, because your contract is with the seller or retailer, not Sigmatek. Because of this change, Sigmatek will be able to handle your after sales service questions and be able to better serve you!
Thanks to Natalie for translation ;) |

Dear websurfers, new technologies afficionados and all faithful Sigmatek non-official site readers: I wish you an excellent year-end and have good time with your family and friends during these celebrations days.
I wish "us" too a lot of firmwares for the next new year to improve again your favourite player.
And if I had to give you a last council for these celabrations: "The one who drives is the one who does not drink!" ;o)
See you, your Dukevador! |
