## Questions & Answers

**Q: How quiet is this device?**
A: Very quiet in use, disks spin down when idle and you can customise the noise levels with the inbuilt software, be aware that silent mode means it runs a little warmer, I parked mine on one of the cloth faced spongy rubberised mouse mats (1/4in thick) which totally kills the drive hum when it's working at full chat, the only time I notice it now is when the 2 hard drives spin up from sleep, and it's about 5 feet from my workstation.

**Q: What is the difference between this model and the synology ds218 2 bay desktop nas enclosure**
A: the play is intended mainly as a media server whereas the 218 is more of a regular NAS. Buy the play for media use, the 218 for home use and the 218plus for home/office, heavier usage.

**Q: There is no hdmi connection on the box, how do you play your movies to a tv**
A: The NAS supports DNLA. Smart TVs can usually see DNLA sources and allow you to browse and stream music, video and photos. Failing that if you have an ordinary TV with a spare HDMI connection you can plug an Amazon Fire stick or Cube into you can use the Synology apps to view and listen to content. Other music and video streaming boxes will work too. It helps to be familiar with IT stuff to get the best out of a NAS like this and one may be expensive overkill for your needs. If your TV has a USB connection and can read external drives it may be easier to copy your movies on to an external drive and plug it into your TV.

**Q: Is it bivolt? 220/110?**
A: Auto selection
