Can you hook up a dvd player and stream from that?

Even if your DVD player had a USB port, it does not work this way (USB port would most likely be for upgrading firmware or plugging in compatible media). The media-share device does not have the neccesary drivers to allow it to act as a "Host" device, even for USB DVD/RW drives.

Only if your DVD player has a USB port. The Verbatim comes with a USB cord to connect it with your computer. My family loves this for family trips!

No it must be a digital storage drive like a hard drive, usb,or SD card of some sort

Hi,It's not possible to do that, you can just insert USB compatible things as flash drivers and SD cards.

This will only stream digital media stored on storage that can be plugged in via USB or a compatible SD card. DVD's are optical and output the decoded video digitally via HDMI, they are not compatible. Sorry. The DVD could be decrypted and stored digitally on a USB stick that the media-share device could stream, but I'm guessing this is not what you require.

Yes! You can hook up to anything that make sound. TV, DVD player, tv receiver, mp3 player etc...

It can be connected directly to dvd player, IF it has an input. Most DVD players don't have input, so the answer is no.

i don't see why that would not work. i have a dvd player and a roku 3 hooked to it and they work just fine.

Of course, or any dvd player. I run the fiber optic cable off the tv though. I can run the home theater from any source input to the tv that way.

Any DVD player you can hook up to a projector will work. I think you're question is more about the projector and not the DVD player, as the DVD player can't project by itself...

It has 1 optical in. So if you wanted to you can connect it that way or by the analog audio cables (red and white) from DVD player

No it cannot by itself. The unit will only stream from your main hard drive inside your computer (usually drive C:). You can stream from an external hard drive connected to your router if you have a media server program that was included with your router's software or with a third party program such as Twonky. However, the formats the player will read are limited and even then it may not read those formats.

Yes. You connect an HDMI cable to the back of your DVD player and the HDMI connection on the back of you tv.

Yes, this tv can be connected to a DVD player. Mine is connected to my cable box and the DVD players to the cable box, but you can connect directly to the TV.

Yes the unit has HDMI and Video connections that will allow you to connect to most DVD players in the market.

We took the receiver out and hooked it up to our TV. It will hook directly to an audio source. Not sure about plugging it into a DVD player, but will plug in to the television the DVD is connected to.

You should be able to if the tv has output RCA jacks coming from the tv or dvd player. I believe most still do.

I don't think so. The wifi on your dvd player is probably for connectivity. What you need is something that generates a wifi network that the receiver will detect and connect to.

yes you can. It has a pass thru features that enable you to do it. I can watch cable tv, dvd and ps3 even the receiver is turn off.
