As long as you have a DVD player. This model is optimized for office work. So laptops etc. it works great as a starter home theater though.
1541622
Yes, sort of. you will need a DVD player to play the DVD. This comes with all the wires you will need. The down side is that it does not have speakers so if the DVD player does not have speakers then there will be no sound . So you may Ned to buy external speakers

As far as I know, This projector will work in conjunction with any device that plays dvd's, such as a laptop, or a DVD player. This projector image can be viewed on any flat surface. Such as a wall, screen, hanging sheet, or bedspread. I have this particular projector and I love it.

In contrast to one person's answer, this projector provides a great image. If you want to spend $300 to $400 more for a 1080p you are welcome to do so. As for DVDs, etc. I would recommend a BluRay/DVD player as it can play both types of media. To this I would add an HDMI pass-through adapter that provides audio outs (around $39 for a decent one) and if you expect to have more than one HDMI source, such as an AppleTV, etc., you can get a switcher than accepts multiple HMDI ins and channel them to an out for the projector. Cheaper switchers come with a remote (and who needs yet another remote) but you can get a 4>1 auto switcher (with buttons for optional manual operation if desired) for around $69.

i didn't use for DVD'sSure you can project on the wall but the quality of non 1080 projectors (likenTV's) is not that good

This is only a projector! But, you can hook a DVD player onto it. I believe EPSON does have an all in one dvd, projector combo. I am more than satisfied with the quality and performance of this projector as a stand alone unit. Be aware that while the unit has a relatively useful speaker, I use it as part of an outdoor movie unit, so I hook speakers to the DVD player.

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.

You can project anywhere you want. Onto a plain wall is perfectly fine. It cannot play DVDs directly, but you can attach it to a computer and use the DVD drive of the computer to play the DVD -- it works like an alternate display. Or you could play a video file from a USB drive, but most DVDs cannot be directly copied that way. I think you could also connect it directly to a DVD player, but that would depend a lot on what kind of connectors it has.

If you want DivX/XVid playback consider the Philips range of DVD players. The model I have has a USB slot up front - great for loading up something from your computer on a flash drive and enjoying it on your TV minutes later. Another interesting thing you can do is get an external hard drive (formatted to FAT32) and plug it in through the USB slot - it will read like normal like a giant flash drive. That's really awesome when you think about it!

Yes, put either dvd or cd in and it will figure out which disc you have loaded and play it.

Chloey C.,I just attached two leads to USB ports on my Windows 7 PC and put in "Matrix" DVD and it instantly played. I did not purchase for that purpose and did not realize the unit would play DVD's. Do realize that you may need two USB ports to operate this unit, I think I ran into that with my old tablet, my guess is not enough power to run unit from one USB port on some tablets or phones, but not sure. I got around this by attaching second lead to a USB power supply. I can operate with one USB attached to my computer. Hope this helps.Gerry

Yes. Mine broke and will not play anything. I would look at another dvd player.
1859343
I guess you could. But it's size may be too big meaning the platform by which the DVD player would test on
964962
yes, though it may take a little bit longer to load and start playing than a DVD

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

No. It is not a dvd player. Dvd's are almost antiquated now as we move into the digital world.
459342
You can indeed. It has a DVD player on the right-hand side of the monitor. I haven't played with it too much, but I think it reads & writes most DVD formats.

It creates a folder on your hard drive to burn to the DVD. I have been able to play the file from the hard drive.

Yes into the wall, but it's has crappy sound. Not what I expected from a Sony product.

everything I play I just put .avi on the end of it and it plays it whether its a avi or not.

No this DVD player is designed to hang on your wall like a painting you sit and stare at its beauty

No, it is an access panel for USB. You have to buy a DVD player separately. I bought a 4 port USB hub (powered) and plug what I want into the hub like mouse, DVD, USB drives.

Did you try turing on the DVDO, first ? Then turn on the rest in sequence - (1) DVDO (2) Projector (3) AV-Receiver (4) DVD Player... Something like that?
2039028
Yes, it does. I just ran a test on a home-recorded disc - no problems playing it.
