I see that this player has a video out port. Does it have an audio in port?I'm trying to run a 3D DVD player thru my Bose Solo so that the sound comes out with the Solo quality. My DVD player doesn't have this capability. Would it help to get a...

It doesn't have an audio in to my knowledge. Only audio out. I would download the instruction manual to be sure, but I would buy a separate receiver. Sony receivers offer the most bank for your buck in my opinion if you are on a tight budget. I currently have the Sony STR-DH820.

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

I would suggest checking the settings on the DVD player. Many will have multiple options for audio output.

Possibly, but highly unlikely. I've never seen a DVD player that has an 3.5mm audio output. DVD players will have outputs to accommodate these possible plug formats: RCA (the red/white round plugs like you see pictured here), digital coaxial (looks a little like an RCA plug, but there's only one and it has an orange circle lining the plug), digital optical (has a little fiber optic bubble at the end of it), and HDMI (looks kinda like a USB slot). Additionally, most external speakers get their signal from stranded speaker cable that you strip the insulator off of and plug directly into the speaker's input ports. This is a pre-amplified signal from an amplifier, meaning that the speakers themselves do NOT have any kind of AC adapter that plugs into a power outlet. NOW. One thing that IS possible is that the external speakers you're talking about is a small set of powered speakers that are usually used for computers. It would have a 3.5mm input (like a headphone jack) that accepts the stereo input, and then there's a wire that connects the speaker with the input to ther other speaker, and the one with the input also accepts an AC adapter that you plug into a wall. If this is the kind of setup that you're talking about, then yes. This WILL work. Plug the RCA plugs into the RCA output of the DVD player, and the 3.5mm plug into the 3.5mm input on the speakers, and you'll be good to go. If you could provide details on your speakers and what they're plugged into, I could give a more concise and accurate answer.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

No, it has *composite* in. Component in is a cluster of 3-5 cables with separates for Red, Green and Blue channels and sometimes the Audio left and right cables are included. This projector does NOT have that type of connection. Yes it should work with a DVD player, but you will need a *composite* video cable. This is the yellow RCA plug type cable. Most DVD players will also have RCA left and right audio output, so if you want to run audio to the projector and not your sound system you'll need an adapter that goes from female RCA left and right to stereo 1/8" male plug. It can also use an S-video cable for video input, but you'll still need the audio cable and adapter I mentioned.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

No, there are Video Audio outlets you need to connect to DVD player or Play Station.. By the way, it comes with build-in speakers.

It does have a USB port.... but all the AVI & mp3 & mp4 files that i compress plays on this Phillips DVP3880K All Region player. So far there is no problem with it...& i hope it stays that way. Im waiting for my SONY DVD Burner i purchased last week & hope it arrives tomorrow. But UPS says by weeks end at the 20th of Sept. As i mentioned this player has a USB port, but never tried to use it yet to play files from another USB drive & get it recognized. Cordially, Chas.DeQ.

This player only has HDMI out and optical outlet for audio. Must have HDMI or you have to purchase a separate third party adapter.

Yes it has audio out, the built in speakers work surprisingly well too. I have had it on through 4 consecutive movies and had no problems. I imagine you could run it until the bulb burns out. Works great on the side of our RV using 120-Inch Spandex Projector Screen. 5'x9', 16:9, 3D DLP Ready, Portable, Lightweight, Wrinkle Free with both Front & Rear/Backlit Projection (Compare to: Favi, Epson, Da-Lite, Goo Systems, Elite Screens, Camp Chef, Mustang, Black Out Fabric...) screen picture is best from 12'-14' away.

These speakers are not self-powered. Thus you need to have the DVD player go through an amplifier or receiver before going to the Bose 161's via speaker level output.

Can anyone with this DVD player answer Keith's question? I'm interested in buying it but only if it upscales with component cables and not just HDMI

I never hooked up sound, so I can't speak to that aspect of the device. I think that this is a very old model, it's probably been sitting in the warehouse for a long time. I returned this model immediately after receiving it. It wouldn't power up, when it finally did the screen was obviously damaged - googling suggested the damage was from being too hot. Sorry, that's all I've got. It would be helpful to know what source you have it hooked up to and how you've plugged it in.

I used to play DVD movie and it works fine. I never tried hook this to stereo but I think it can do as it has audio jack as well
