Can I hook-up an external USB DVD player?

I cannot specifically say that a "USB Player" will be recognized. I plugged in a thumb drive and it worked. I have also plugged in an external hard drive through a "Blac X" (USB) and it works flawlessly. I assume that any standard USB device will be recognized and therefore should work. I read the first comment about lousy product and service. That has not been my experience. I emailed a question about using thumbnail displays and received a prompt reply the following day that addressed, and answered, my specific question - it was not a generic automated response.

Unlikely you would be successful connecting anything useful to that device - Micca makes terrible products - Micca has terrible customer service - suggest you buy from a decent manufacturer!

It does not have a built in DVD drive so you will not be able to out of the box. You could get an external DVD drive if you really needed it.

Yes connecting a USB external DVD is the best way to install an OS like windows or Linux. I recommend W7 64-bit or W8.1 64-bit

The USB slot is in the main unit with the DVD player. I guess that is unit A.

I use my external hard drive without problems, but my external DVD drive will not work properly -- keeps losing connection. Both are USB powered. My work around for the DVD drive is to attach it to my USB hub that has its own power cord.

I'm not sure if you can plug an External USB device and play the files, you could however share your DVD/BluRay drive on your computer and play the files over the newtork (wired gigabit connection to be stable). It will play bluray/dvd iso or raw files. I bought a few 4TB externals and just created ISO files out of my blurays so I don't have to get up and get the disc, I can just select them from a list and play them.

No.. it does not have a DVD player, you'd have to buy an external USB DVD player.

The main dvd player connects using your basic red yellow and white components. So if you have the plug in for those then your good. Im sure if yoh have a different style hook up theres an adapter.

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.

3 usb 2.0 ports. I have used an external usb dvd drive but not tried playing media. External hard drive works too, but have not tried media play on that either.

Additional USB DVD driver is also available. You could download the software from internet or USB stick, potable hard disk etc....

No, you'll need a PC to have any functionality. It's a simple external DVD "Drive" and not a "player" of any sorts.

We have our DVD hooked to one of the two HDMI ports, there is one USB port. Our Direct TV is hooked up via cable.
