Portable DVD Player with TV Reception? Does anyone know of a portable DVD player that includes the capability to watch television?

Great idea, and think how useful it would be in eg a hurricane type emergency when the electricity cuts out and you're left wondering what's happening! (in our area radio stations just ignore hurricanes and suchlike.)

Just to let you know, this projector can be used to watch both TV and DVDs. However, in order to watch a DVD, you need to attach a DVD player to it. The sound from the DVD player also needs to be run through a stereo, since the projector only has one really crappy speaker on it. Concerning watching TV, you need something to "tune" the TV signal before the projector can display it. In other words, you need something that will change the channels for you, such as a VCR. In short, if you have a DVD player and a VCR (or a cablebox), you will be able to watch both DVDs and TV on this projector-- again, just make sure you have a separate device (such as a stereo) to run the sound through. As well, you can also play video games on this projector.

Nope. It can play DVD's; however, the inlet for the CD/DVDS player on mine came broken so I can't even do that. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RADIO!! Spend just a little more and you'll be glad you did.

I am sure that it would be easy to attach to a DVD player. It is a new enough television that it is set up for that.

Yes, it does work. If I had it to do again, I probably would buy a cheap dvd player to go with a tv. But that's just me. So far it has worked fine and I play a lot of dvds.

Also both AppleTV and WiFi capable DVD players I have seen allow you to watch YouTube....

Yes you can hook your DVD player to it but it is not a surround amp and has no video functions

Nope, no physical DVD rom/player. You can connect external DVD rom/player via USB port. Better if you copy DVD file unto FlashDrive and plug it in USB.

Yes. It absolutely can. You hook the rca cables from the portable DVD player to thetelevision. We do it all the time!

Thanks for the response. I did expect that to be the case to some degree. I did some re-adjusting recently and am pretty happy with what I have now.With the dvd issue I used component video instead of the rca and it's a huge improvement. It turns out to be pretty solid tv after all.

Yes, I think so. I play DVD's on tv and portable dvd player. I am not sure about cd's, for I have not tried burning cd's in this unit, and I'm not sure it even does cd's???

No.. it does not have a DVD player, you'd have to buy an external USB DVD player.

Dear Mark, Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Bluetooth feature is there for you to be able to stream music from a portable device such as a smartphone or laptop. To play sound from your TV or DVD player you can connect via Digital Optical audio cable or standard RCA audio cables, depending on what features are available on your television. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you! Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I agree I need a SD player which can plug into any hdtv. I've read toshiba has developed a 32 gb SD card. It would be nice if Sony, Panasonic or someone else would build players which accepts the SDHC cards and plays all the different video formats.

No one seemed to mention you can buy a $20 signal amplifier and an extra coaxial cable at Radio Shack and you should get a little better quality TV. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2463965&cp;=2032057.2032187.2032189.2032207&parentPage;=familyThese where all over my house back in analog days.HDMI is the way to go for the DVD issue. Upconverting DVD players sell for as low as $40 on slickdeals and HDMI cables are a couple of bucks on monoprice

Hi ajs,This TV is a fantastic choice for DVD viewing. Setup is really intuitive and the picture is great even if you just use the out-of-the-box settings, though I'd recommend changing them for the best picture.
