can it play dts format disk? (dts decode?)

yes...it has two "digital audio outs" one is coaxial, the other is optical...of course you'll need a stereo receiver that will convert the signal to 5:1 audio, but you can do it with the DV-420...one thing I'd like to mention is the video quality from this player is terrible...I've played with all the settings, tried different HDMI cables, and had no success in making the picture quality to my liking...I wish that I had returned this unit...my advice, spend some extra money and buy a Sony...

If you are asking if it decodes 7.1 DTS and has 8 discrete outputs for the total of 8 channels, then the answer is no. I don't know of any BD player that does this. Maybe one of the very expensive players does. Just look at a picture of the back - does it have outputs for 8 channels.

Not true! You can d/l firmware updates onto your computer and transfer to a USB stick and pop it into your player. Done!

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

Nope. It is an amplified speaker system, not a player. No DTS. If you're into DTS and think DTS is the only way to get good sound, it's not for you. But if you want great, loud, room-filling, full-range audio in a single box that requires only one wire to hook up, it's a very good option.

The end of your question was cut off but I think I have enough to answer. The WDTv Play has a USB port. I use it to connect directly to an external drive with movies on it. It plays most of the movies I have but not all. I haven't looked into it in more detail to see why some play and some do not. My current guess is the format. I have AVI, MP4, MPG, MKV, and WMV formats. I believe it will play AVI, MP4 and WMV. I think it doesn't play MKV. If we pick one it doesn't play we always just try another one.

Yes - I've got it playing just fine off a 320Gb WD Scorpio blue (5400rpm drive) in an enclosure. Takes about 10s to read the folders and start playing which is nice (pay attention Pioneer! slow load times are frustrating).

Yes but you will need a program that can decode the HD disks. You will need to search the internet for the program.

Huh! Figure!I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit.That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

You have to put the disc in the drive to play. Hope this will help you. Harold

No, it does not play hdd (hard disk drive) in any format. Note that NTFS is not the same as NTSC video format.

Yes. Supported disk formats are: BD, BD-R,BD-RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-VIDEO, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW. Video Formats: H-264, VC1, MPEG 1/2/4. Audio formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, MP3. Photo Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF. I just quoted the specs in the manual; it is a very versatile player. But I believe I read a review somewhere stating there was an old and a new VCD format; this unit will play the new VCD format but perhaps it may not play the old VCD format.

Thanks for your question. I don't think this will play DSD. You may want to check with the manufacturer for both format verification as well as transfer procedure. This is an incredible sounding player.

Yes, you can decode DSD. I have Pioneer BDP-62FD and bunch of SACD disks, they all play through HDMI to Yamaha no problem. It supports 2ch to 5.1ch DSD's.

no, it fits where the disk goes in. I don't know if a disk is already in will play

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.
