Audio / Video

---

Capable of playing formats MP3/WAV/WMA/eAAC +, and DivX/Xvid/MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV
Audio player features owned Optimus 2X supported by a variety of existing counterweight, ranging from the Virtual Surround to XtraBass. Although each equalizer will give effect, but not too good sound output. In fact, if converted to a maximum, feels shrill and very annoying. And if we activate Virtual Surround, the sound from stereo speakers located on the bottom will be optimal; but still it is not maximized. It is unfortunate they do not use Dolby as is done in some previous series.

For video player not found the problem. His ability to read many formats make you more flexibility to watch videos on television with the help of HDMI.
