how to get it to play dvd's

Hi, It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

It has no problem in playing DVDs. You can use the software that comes with it or use whatever other compatible software.

I am sorry, I can't help you there as I am in the UK and bought the DVD player for my partner who lives in the US so she could watch Region 2 DVDs. I would suggest you contact Toshiba. Otherwise, you can sometimes get a universal remote that can be adapted to work on your player.

If it is a DVD you probably will have to get a dual layer blank DVD. Some if the DVD blanks that are single layer don't have enough space

From the back of the DVD player in the aux in use RCA jacks then to the back of your direct tv box or whatever cable provided box put the RCA cables in the audio out!

The simple answer is, 'no, it does not play DVD's'. You have to do that through your computer and one of the USB or HDMI Cables; it does however accept USB Sticks.

I just checked my son's game. The instruction booklet is minimal but there is an adaptor plug that seems fairly standard. His portable Sony DVD player adaptor worked

I already had a little headphone jack gizmo that has the red and yellow RCA jacks at the other end, that I pugged into the DVD RCA female receptacles in the back of the receiver. The HiRes DVD player connects via a HDMI cable to a HDMI jack provided by the receiver. I use an iPOD. I already had this wire thing, you can get one at Amazon or down at a mall, I guess, if you can't wait...

You probably won't like this answer. I could only get the player to work on one or two DVDs. I did lots of googling to try to find a fix. Nothing worked. I ended up just trashing it, since it was so cheap. Lesson learned. Find a used one at Goodwill or pay more for a decent unit. You gets what ya pay for.

With the dvd player, there should be a cord with three plugs on one end - red, white, and yellow. Match those with the same colors on the left side of the TV as you're looking at it from the front. The other end goes into or should already be in the player. Plug in the power cord, turn the TV onto AV3 from the input button, and you should be set to play your movies.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

I have no idea as we could never get ours to even play a DVD. I do not recommend this item. It is poorly made, and odds are it won't work. You'd be wasting your money.

Yes. Mine broke and will not play anything. I would look at another dvd player.

you have to make sure the radio that you hook up the tv to is comp. with dvd and cdThe Tv does not have a dvd/cd slot.

It's hard to say, however it is most likely your laptop. You do need software on your computer that can play DVD's. I've personally used this drive to play DVD's without issue.

It did in the beginning and then it just quit playing them. I took it to the Geek Squad and they were unsuccessful in getting it to play DVD's again. Evidently, it has something to do with the Windows 8. They told me that I could buy a Video Media Center from Microsoft to resolve the problem but since they were not able to install a "Free" Video Media Center, I declined their offer.
