Types of DVD Players

In this era of streaming movies on Netflix and Disney+ you may wonder if you even need a DVD player anymore. The answer is a resounding “Yes!” If for no other reason, you want a backup movie player in case your internet is flaky. There are many types of DVD players, so learning more about them can help you find what works best for your family.

Multi-Purpose Player

If you own music or audio CDs, you want a DVD player that will accept those and allow you to play your music any time you want. You may have a treasure trove of music that you’ve collected over the years, and should be able to enjoy it. You may want to get RF power dividers, splitters or combiners to help beef up your amplifier.

Smart Player

The new smart players can work in conjunction with your wireless network to stream content that you don’t have stored on DVDs. You can usually connect to these with your phone through Bluetooth, which gives you the ability to play photos, videos or movies stored on your phone through your player to your TV.

Portable Player

If you like to travel and have children, then a portable DVD player may be just what you need. The screen is larger than a phone screen, so it can entertain more than one child at a time. It can be taken practically anywhere and is usually lightweight.

Region-Free player

If you like artsy movies from all over the world, you may have found that your old player won’t accept your favorite DVDs. Get a region-free player to watch your favorite foreign shows.

No matter what kinds of movies you like to watch, you can find a DVD player that meets your needs. Your library of movies can be right at your fingertips to be watched any time.
