I do not know. I sold my mini after about six months because it never truly worked properly. I would not buy a Toshiba anything ever again. Their customer service was not at all helpful.

I use mine sometimes in Win8 so it should. Double check that Windows has BluRay playing capability built-in from a software perspective. I think it does but wouldn't say I'm 100%. The drive itself will work just fine though.

I don't see any reason why not, assuming you have the proper drivers for the bluray.

You don't need drivers, you need, simply, a program that can process blu-rays.The external drive only reads blurays, u need third-party software to utilize it to its fullest.

I am not sure how to do this. I rarely use the CD/DVD drive. If I do use it, it's only to look at a movie or listen to a CD. Sorry.

To add to the others responses - you want the bluray player plugged directly into the receiver, rather than plugged into the TV and an optical cable running from TV to receiver. Then you should hear any sound produced when you have the blu ray and receiver on. You may need to turn on the TV to navigate menus on your Bluray.

You can buy an external CD/DVD drive($25 and up), convert the game to an ISO image and installed using a USB device, download to a USB drive. The best method so far is is to buy and external DVD/Bluray drive that will allowed you to install the game and also watch Blurays, it has worked great on 1080P, the Blu-Ray drive start around $40.

I don't know what programs you have tried, but use the LG software first to make the BD readable and playable, then you need to use a blue ray playing program such as Roxio or Power DVD etc.

Yes. I've got this in a home theater system so I purchased an LG external for $24. It then decided not to boot. I had to go into the BIOS to make it work correctly.

You need BluRay player software. If you do not have it, this unit will play CDs and DVDs on the players that work for those, but you need BluRay software to play BluRays.Jim

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

I just use a usb-attached cheapy. Works great for me (which is rarely). The brand is LG. Portable Super Multi Drive. Had it quite a while, so it may likely be no longer available

It won't play blue ray files as they come in blue ray discs. They need to be remuxed or converted to Mkv or Avi. You should be able to plug your 2TB drive.

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.

I bought the product for a friend whose computer's cd/dvd player was not working. My friend had already an external CD player, so he uses the LG Super Slim just to play DVDs.

I'm not sure. For what it's worth, we have a Panasonic Plasma with several USB ports on the back of the TV. We just plugged an SD card into the Saicoo and plugged that into one of the USB ports on the TV, pressed the "Apps" button on the remote, then selected "Media player" on the screen and it showed the photos from the SD card. We could then view them one at a time or do a slide show, etc. That probably doesn't help you at all, but we don't know how similar your LG TV is.
