It does play everything I wanted it to play, from multiple regions. There have been a few times when it stopped reading a disc, but not often. And I regularly find that when I first turn it on, there is something wrong with the signal to the TV, but a restart fixes it.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

Actually Alan, your widescreen movie presentation is determined by the DVD movie you are playing - or sometimes the settings available in the setup selection on the menu screen of the movie. There is full screen and wide screen, as well as letterbox. Check the package on your next movie rental or purchase for 'wide screen' version. As mentioned you can adjust the TV screen to compensate, but it doesn't always look right. Hope this helps.

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.

It could be that IR option is turned off in the DVD player. See the manual.

Yes, press Stop button then press Menu button as soon as the DVD loads. I think it's called Direct Play feature.

After reading over that page, I found that this does not support DVD menus. Hopefully this functionality will be added sooner rather than later.How difficult is it to switch between two video output sources if you are unable to see the menus?

via iTunes it shows across the entire screen, with the black bars across top and bottom. But I don't ever use it in TV mode. It's strictly a computer monitor for me.....and a good one

I don't know how you play game on the DVD player. I bought it as a gift for someone.I don't believe that you can play games on them.

If a disc is not formatted for widescreen(16:9), it will only show whatever format is on the disc. Does your TV have the ability to stretch or zoom the picture? If so, just do that.

I have a Sony DVD player and this happened to me on a DVD I made from an old film - I solved the problem by NOT upscaling the picture to 16:9 but keeping it at the original 4:3 format.I isolated the problem to my player when I watched the DVD on my PC - it never got out of sync there...

I have. Less than 1 week old. Using HDMI cable. Played "Polar Express" (Full Screen Version) and player "stutters" every 5 minutes or so. Tried two other "wide-screen" discs and the "stuttering" did not happen. Playing to a new Magnavox 47" LCD. Home burned vacation DVD's upconverted and played just great! Very Good for audio CD's also!

I tried it - when I stopped playing of DVD, switch off and again switch on (no open of disc) then it started to play when I finished before. It is sufficient reply? Roman

Selection is done automatically by the Player. The player reads the DVD after it is loaded and makes the correct selection to view it perfectly. I have been using this Yamaha DVD player quite satisfactorily for several months now with DVDs from all zones and regions and I recommend it for anybody looking for a multi Region/Zone DVD Player.
