If you don't want to play the game, but just use it as a Zumba video, will it still play? (For example, no one is holding a remote.)

You don't really have to hold the remote, the video comes with a belt for you to put the remote in while working out.

No, the remote detects movement and if there is none the remote shuts off. Shake the remote to keep it active.

Don't have a regular remote so it's hard to answer But - when it's working (iffy @ best) there's the voice search function (only does Bing- can't make it do google and only searches VOD can't seem to see netflix). If you prefer a wave moved cursor to arrow keys i guess it's worth it. There may be games that the magic remote is needed for but so far I haven't seen any games that look worth the trouble of downloading.

I don't know if this is a question, but if there is no video input it will turn itself off after a timeout period. I've never had it turn on by itself though.

The game will teach the variety of steps before you can actually go along with the dance routines of the game. I recommend the game. I have a DVD for Zumba and I rarely put it in because the game is so much easier to follow along.

I use my player for what it is, a DVD player and it works very well. I am not interested in downloading therefore I have absolutely no idea.

You get some functions, but not complete control. The up and down arrows raise and lower sound, the left and right will skip to next and last song, and the play button will pause or start it. You cannot, however, navigate menus or anything like that. Its best to start a playlist and use the remote for some simple commands

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

I encountered the very same thing. I got it to play back by messing when the buttons. But I don't know the exact way to do it. If I want to see anything, I've been popping out the SD card, then I put in another. Then look at it. I'm using mine for the drive to work (1 hr), if nothing happens I let it over ride on the 5 min loop. This would be so much better if we knew how to use all the features. I looked at the license tag feature, it's a yellow box that moves around on screen? The instructions are so vague. You just have to push buttons and hope for the best..........

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you. V/R Jackie

Yes. The video will have to be formatted to the resolution of the player. (You can get the exact information from the manufacturer website) but once you get the video loaded into the flash drive (provided) it plays flawlessly and loops without a flicker. Their are also speakers inside the unit. not great. But adequate for table side presentation.

With the "Reel 'em In" game I can play without the DVD in the drive. I use a laptop. I also purchased the "Zeus II" game and I have to have the disc in the computer to run it.

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.

No. The DVD I owned was very bad, I did not use it a lot. It won't play smoothly, it froze quite often and stop played. I throw it away.

So, it can't burn DVDs to be watched on a traditional DVD player, but can it play DVDs? Also, another customer mentioned that it can't play a u-tube video, is that true?

Yes - pretty much, you need to change the playing mode though. It works very well.

It seems specific to a playstation (not a gaming person but I use the PS3 for netflix, amazon prime, streaming) and has specific buttons similar to the PS3 remote. I got tired of issues with PS3 remote, buttons sticking, it would freeze up, etc. so bought this one as I don't need the remote to play games. It has all the features for a DVD remote but seems like overkill when you might be able to just get a cheap universal remote.

Yes, just hold the play button for a couple of seconds for activation. It works very well.
