Yes it can. It will play movies and videos right from your stick or usb hard drive. Plays formats like avi,mp4,dvix,xvid,matroksa,wmv,flv and much more.

Mine does. I made some little movies on my digital camera and they play on the TV using the USB port.

I recommend using a playstation 3 for that. It'll play movies from usb stick or sd, pro duo memory cards. I also use mine for blueray and dvds.

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

Type in the following at YouTube. Watch a movie on your TV from a USB drive. This video shows you how.

I would guess no. Your tv would need software to play movies. So unless your tv explicitly states in the manual that it has the software to recognize and play dvd and bd's from usb, I would say no.

no because usb does not function that way. this is to put audio / video on your computer from a device that is limited to rca hook ups, not to transmit in this format

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

Not sure if you can play the USB audio, I tried and couldn't "find" the file to play it after I plugged it in. You may be able to play the disc, I've never tried that option, but you won't have the words on the screen. I also use mine as my DVD player for movies, etc when not using for karaoke

No you cannot. There are RCA, 3-RGB, 1 S-Video and 1 HDMI ports, but no USB.

The usb port is just a port. Not a driver. It can play videos though your computer, DVD player, etc. It will not play directly from a thumb drive.

I am not a tech guy, but I have been unable to play 4k content using USB. Toshiba said that the USB drive can only recognize flash (Fat32) and that only holds up to 4 gigs. A 30 second clip is about 4 gigs. I believe you can loop it though.

I never try loading movies from USB and SD card, I always watch movie from DVD. My model is 4 years old so it does not have SD card slot.

I'm pretty certain it does. I used to plug an external hard drive into it and play movies from there but I don't really remember what types of files they were. It should say in the manual somewhere though, and usually those manuals are available online for free.

no.It is not capable of recognizing operating systems.The usb works as a input,not output.In other words not both ways.It does play mp4s from a usb thumb drive,but output via hdmi.so you'ld have to have hdmi input on laptop or tv/monitor.
