Can one hook up a video gaming console to this portable dvd player such as a xbox or gamecube? i've searched, yet am still confused. can one who owns this product inform us on this issue?

The unit has an AV input jack, so the answer should be Yes. Since it's a single jack for audio and video, the unit comes with an AV cable: Composite AV on one end (Red, White, Yellow), and a single connector on the other.

I was not able to hook it up directly. I plugged the DVD sound to an external speaker and I plugged the video to the projector. Plugging the sound cable directly to the projector did not work for me.

Hi Phil, can you elaborate on the question? DVD disc cannot play on a VCR player as it needs a VHS tape. Are you trying to say if the VHS tape can covert the file to a DVD disc? (that is more of an editing question than a product question). Or are you really saying can a dvd disc play in a regular dvd player?

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

No you won't be able to. Newer consoles are not compatible with this device. I bought this and tested it on my DVD player, which worked but then I tested it on my PS4 and a friend's Xbox One and it did not work with either console.

Peter, can you share names / websites of these independent sellers of blu-ray disc players? I'd like a blu-ray disc player that plays PAL and NTSC blu-ray and DVD discs from all regions (if such players are available). Thank you.

On the newer version, that is correct. You can get an external DVD player and plug it into a USB connector and it works perfectly.

If you are trying to hook up any sort of composite device designed for a TV, (DVD player, game console) then this will not work when connecting it to a VGA monitor. It will not support the video as this cord is only designed for VGA out / composite in. You need a converter that supports composite out / VGA in. I did some research and ordered this just the other day. This is what you need to hook composite (Yellow, Red, White) to your VGA monitor. MyGica V2VPro Video to VGA Converter / Video SwitcherNote - that will not output sound. You need another method to get the sound out - consider buying a RCA to 3.5mm Audio jack adapter and plug those into some speakers. Hope that helps!

Mine didn't work with any game consoles. I bought it for my sons room. He has an Xbox 360, play station 3 and Wii and I bought it to keep them all plugged up. None worked; however, it could be that I don't think the actual device worked.

No. There are 3 ways you can hook up a DVD player, the HDMI being the best. RCA cable is one of the options.

As I do not own any DVD Audio discs, I am not certain, but do I remember hearing something to that effect a while back. A good place to look/ask the question would be on the AVS forum. Those folks in there will definitely know. Seek out the owners thread for the unit, the answer is probably somewhere in there.

Many portable DVD players use proprietary 3.5mm cable scheme. So the conventional wiring will often not work.

no problems with mine. you should at least be able to use the DVD player. should return it!

Hey Pugh, let me know if you have any of the compatibility issues I've had. You're using the Xbox Slim, and I'm thinking of upgrading to one especially if it works better with this reciever. Does your Xbox 360 turn off by itself everytime you switch to another input on your receiver?I'm using a Samsung LCD HDTV and if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe the TV is actually the culprit

It did not for us. In fact, seller was kind enough to send a replacement, but that also did not play our gamecube games.2/11/16 update: after working with the seller, received STELLAR customer service, and was able to receive a unit which plays both wii discs AND gamecube discs. Seller sent a total of 3 units, and went out of his way to be sure we were satisfied!

I'm not a gamer, so I've never had or used a wii or gamecube, or any other gaming device, but if those gaming devices have and use regular RCA jacks and can take regular RCA cords like most traditional games and TV sets do, then this box should work just fine, cuz all it is is a bunch of RCA-style inputs and a couple RCA outputs, all using the traditional red-white, and yellow jacks. This (and other 8-in, two or one out boxes like this) has no power supply, and doesn't need one, so it's what's called a a totally "passive" device that only switches between channels and that's it, so there's no impedance issues to worry about and so ANY combination of devices that use all-RCA jacks & cords should work just fine. These boxes aren't made or even are available from anywhere in the USA (I checked), and only come from and can be gotten from China, but I've had good luck with three slightly varying different models made by three different Chinese companies and they all work just fine. Shipments took only a couple weeks for each one, which is pretty good from that distance. Once China owns all of the USA, which is their eventual goal, shipment should take even less time, cuz they'll probably have warehouses in America, but by then, you will have been forced to abandon English and learn to speak Chinese. It would be a good idea to start learning Chinese now which will make it easier for you and your kids in the slave-schools they will eventually set up here. At least you'll be able to get quality electronics gizmos faster.
