can I plug this in to my PC with an S-cord and play DVDS?

Hmm. Good question. I play DVDs directly in my computer. But if you want to hook up the Toshiba multi-region to your PC and are playing another region DVD in in it, I wonder if the PC will reject that other-region DVD?

No, you cannot play a DVD on this machine, but it will reproduce a DVD player with a USB plug connection, as well as a pen-drive.

Yes, but you need a third party software to play DVD and blu-ray, it comes with a Cyberlink bundle, to do this trick.

Try plugging the USB port to a power supply (computer or outlet or the DVD player itself) and plugging in the aux jack (headphone jack) as well

I don't believe so....it is a DVD/CD player only....also can read/play from a USB drive.....John Bonney

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

I'm certainly no electronics expert, but shouldn't you be able to use this to play movies on your TV by hooking the drive up to your laptop, and then running an S-video cable from the laptop to the television, and changing the video output (screen) from the laptop screen to the TV screen? I've never tried it, but it seems like it should work. I use my internal DVD drive on my laptop to play movies on my TV by this method all the time.

I have a DVD auxillary device to connect to the laptop. It connects thru the usb port.

It does have the native ability to play DVDs, but I'm not sure about taking from or sending to external video. Mine is not cabled to be able to do such, but there might be an additional input/output that I'm not aware of.

that would depend on what cables you have and what ports your laptop has. This t.v. needs an a/v hook-up (the yellow one is video, white is sound, red is power) So if you can find a cable to transfer a/v to hdmi or vga (that depends on laptop's ports) Try cable made to connect dvd to pc

I have my computer, a dvd player and surround system hooked to it. You can direct connect a dvd player with an HDMI cable.

Yes, you can, but not directly use the DVD or other audio devices hooked up by cable or optical.

Suzi - I think that you need a DVD "Player" for that job. This is a DVD "read/write drive". This DVD "read/write drive" WILL play your movies on your computer; but I do not think so on your TV.

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

Yes, you can watch movies with this device. You need to have software on your computer that will play DVDs.

the only way you could do that is to hook up an external power source, and then run an e-sata cable from the drive into an e-sata/usb input on the laptop, if it has one. not a viable solution. you need and external dvd model.
