What To Know About DVD Players And Their Benefits

By David Rolph


Most folks know what DVD players are these days, even if they do not necessarily know how to operate one. If you are numbered among these electronically challenged users, the first step you may take is to glance at your owner's manual. There is a wealth of information in there.

If you had a VHS player, you may not be intimidated by the ease of using this new technologically advanced machine. They both had power, stop, play and pause buttons. New to the disc player, however, is not fast-forward, but skip, both back and forward. It's not necessary to rewind discs.

All DVD playing machines of this type will not allow you to avoid playing all those previews. Producers want to be sure you know what is coming up soon. The government also wants you to know how unlawful it is to copy these discs. Charging money to view them is illegal, too.

When purchasing discs on which to record movies, you may be dismayed by the wide variety of different types available. The short answer to what to buy is, if it is "R", you can only use it one time. If it shows "R-W", it can be written over with a new movie, much like you could do with VHS tapes. You could do this many times over, if you desire.

While sitting in airports or waiting rooms everywhere, you may see folks viewing a movie on a small portable player. Most portables come with earphones of some kind. People nearby won't be upset by your noise, and you can still enjoy your action movie.

Car manufacturers are offering an option of built-in DVD players. If you are driving an early-model vehicle without this convenience, you can make use of a converter plugged into the lighter receptacle, to allow the use of your portable machine.
