I believe that you can record anything you wish on to a compatible drive (SD card or USB flash drive) and the unit will play it.

Depending on your disk drive (it has to be rated for Blue Ray) able to play . You need proper drivers for what windows system you are using. I have a E6500 in my system and I have a DVD recorder and with no problems.

Yes, it will play CDs, as well as burned CDs on either CD-R or CD-RW discs. Also, if you have any dvd-audio discs, it will play those as well. It does not have the compatibility to play SACD discs, which is strange since Sony developed the format. Also, if you have any movies that have been burned onto DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, or DVD+DL discs, it will play those as well. Hope that helps.

Yes, but don't buy this. Wherever I play a dvd it switches back to the VCR side And won't play the dvd

I have had many DVD recorders and players and have never had a problem playing them back on a different machine. If Finalizing is an option under Disk Management, then you do need to finalize before removing it from the recording device.

It will record on either one. The - discs a have to be finalized to play on other machines.

It's not a recorder. It's just a multi-region player. If you are just looking for a multi region Dvd Player, "their great. I have two of them. Tuner ? I couldn't tell you, I don't know.

Yes! BD-Video, BD-RE, BD-R DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW DVD +R/+RW/+R DL Compact Disc - Music CD CD-R, CD-RW I have many movies that I record from my DVR to DVD-R and DVD+R discs. I also have many thousands of music recorded on my DVD+/-/RW discs that I listen to with this player. Unfortunately, this player will not do any SACD discs. I hope this helps you out. It's a great player. Very well made and the DVD and Blue-Ray movies color are super brilliant. Amazing for such a inexpensive player. :)

It will play and record regular 8mm tapes only. The discription for this product is wrong. I purchased this camcorder to convert my tapes to cds but had to return because my 8mm tapes are high definition and this camcorder will not play them. I purchased another one afterwards (Sony DCRTRV350 Digital8 Camcorder) and it worked great for the high definition tapes.

It plays DVDs but I haven't burn CDs or DVDs yet. The machine I got comes with XP operating system with Roxio CD burning software. I hope that helps.

Yes, this machine will play DVDs on other machines. THERE ARE TWO STAGES to finish recording. The first is hitting of the "off" button after you are finished (which will probably allow you to run the DVD on the SAMSUNG and no other machine. The SECOND State is to go to the Disk Manager menu and FINALIZE the disk. I played my recorded DVD on two different computers plus a SONY component. Again - two stages 1) hit OFF button when finishing recording;2) From Menu, go to Disk Manager and FINALIZE the disk.Another nifty feature, the machine automatically places 5 minute chapters on what you record.JV - cfnjv@localnet.com Yes, this machine will play DVDs on other machines.

Sadly, this unit just plays DVD's. You'll need a combination VHS tape & DVD recorder to do what you asked about.

It doesn't. It plays DVDs and plays/records VHS tapes. It's main advantage over other combo units is the HDMI interface. No more separate audio & video cables for each component.

I think you misspoke...this machine makes copies of DVD's. To the best of my knowledge the DVD's will play back in any regular DVD player.It also will copy CD's.It will not copy any encrypted or copy protected materials.
