when it starts the loading screen for gathering information on DVD it just stops working.Does it really take that long or am i doing something wrong.I followed the instructions in the manual thing

No, it is only an radio receiver with DVD, and you may plug outside cameras, USB. Navigation works for specific maps and locations

It did in the beginning and then it just quit playing them. I took it to the Geek Squad and they were unsuccessful in getting it to play DVD's again. Evidently, it has something to do with the Windows 8. They told me that I could buy a Video Media Center from Microsoft to resolve the problem but since they were not able to install a "Free" Video Media Center, I declined their offer.

We basically ordered this for a new tuner; we do do not have installed navigation. Sorry we couldn't have been of more help.

It plays discs fine. However I did have a problem to where I tried playing a DVD and it was picking it up. Like It was acting like there was nothing in it. Now streaming from Netflix is the biggest problem. It will shut off in the middle of your show or movie and cut off at the end of each show. I've been through 2 and I don't recommend it.

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

It played a few for me, but not many. With most discs I tried it told me I needed to install the latest patch. I installed the patch and it still told me the same thing. Some of the ones it would *not* play for me were The Amazing Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight Rises, and Game of Thrones. These are some pretty high-profile titles for it to not work. I think I was able to play Grimm Season 2 and that was about it. It played DVDs with no problems, but the interface is pretty terrible so it's not worth it.

When I first got it, it did. An automatic update seems to have disabled that function. To use the DVD/BluRay I have to load a disc. Then it automatically plays. If you pause a movie and turn off the unit, when you restart you have to eject the disc and reinsert. Not sure why it lost the ability to list it in the menu. May just be a flaw with my unit. You can ask Sony directly. It doesn't annoy me enough to mess with because I normally just stream movies from the internet these days or play CD's and concert videos.

I'm gonna say, no it does not. Very basic menu and selection of playback. Going thru the menu I seen no options for either of the two you ask about. Although, I haven't tried to play those either. Hope this helped.

Hey Joseph,I don't know. It dose not seem to work for me. But I may not have something set right. I was more interested in navigating then anything else, which it dose very good. If you contact Emprum at support@emprum.com I'm sure they could answer your question.

I have read so many bad reviews on this player, but it is on the NetLibrary tested list and I am trying to get set up to download and play books while I exercise. The bookmark feature seems very important. How important is it to you? How do you recharge your batterY? How do you replace your battery? How is the joystick? How difficult is setup?

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)

I had owned an older model off the Xbox 360 that did but this one is saying I need some other program. I do know that they do play dvd's I'm just not sure exactly why this one doesn't.

It's supposed to play both, however after six months mine stopped playing regular dvds and will now only read blu-ray. It is also SUPER SLOW to load. You'd be better off getting one of the new quick loading ones. You can put a blu-ray in this one, go to the kitchen, make dinner, come back, and it still might not be done getting ready. Especially with newer discs that need a downloaded update to the machine's software.
