I bought a chinese Superdrive knockoff, and it didnt work, so I spent the extra $$ and bought the Apple USB Superdrive here on Amazon (I had to install the NI bundle this way...sucks..) It works just fine.My advice is "what is another 30 or 40 bucks after spending a small fortune on this machine??" lol

Be sure to get a good set of earphones to take advantage of the sound quality of this player. RIPTIDZ are fairly inexpensive (< $10) and work really well with this unit.

For a good after market player that does multiple things cyberlink offer a player called Powerdvd. It's one of many that you can obtain.

The best option would be to hook it up via an HDMI connection. If you don't have an HDMI cable, you get one pretty cheaply on Amazon, such as this one: AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable - 6.5 Feet (2 Meters) Supports Ethernet, 3D, 4K and Audio ReturnIf your disc player doesn't have HDMI, then the next best option would be to use component cables. It's a cable that has 5 smaller cables coming off the main cable that are different colors. The colors match up to the component plugs on the TV itself.

You will be able to run any install cd or dvd as it is plug and play. If you want to play blu-ray though, you will need to buy a separate player.

Email their customer support. They are fantastic and will help you get everything you need. You probably don't need what was on that disc anyway.

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

Any usb cd/dvd player should work. If you havn't already bought a U530? DON'T!!! Mine lasted 5 months and is now nothing more than parts. The hinge attachment to the lid is extremely easy to break and unless you wait patiently and pay a lot for a used one? You're done because due to high breakage, even Lenovo is out of stock permanently.

I have been able to play my cds and install my software from cds and dvds, so you can play them. Remember that you will need a usb port. I am very pleased with this dvd recorder.

Pro Tools 11 is the only platform that is currently available on the market. I'm sure all the drivers are there for your Eleven Rack.

Thank you very much, E. Soares - I appreciate the information you've provided, especially the link to the electronic copy of the player's manual. Although not the answer we would have liked to see, it's not at all a surprise, given the super-low price on this.If I may offer a little hint, I've had my eye on the Sherwood BDP-5004 - it's been verified by several reviewers on other Forums as being PAL/NTSC, Region-Free capable. It's the only Blu-Ray I've seen so far that has this important (to me, at least) capability. I play a lot of music DVDs that are from Europe, UK, Japan and Australia.It's about twice as expensive as this Sylvania, but the added abilities would be worth it.Thanks again!Leo Thank you very much, E.

I bought the Yamaha CD-S300 "Natural Sound" player, and it sounds great with it's "pure direct" (analog) output. It's a little pricey (~ $400) considering its a single disc, CD only player; but it delivers a precise, warm and spacious sound.

I recommend you to use the installation CD, however, you can just plug it and play.

I agree go with Cyberlink Power Director 7 (there DVD menu maker not very good, however have not tried latest); I have bought each edition since the 3rd edition; Pinnacle still a little buggy and slow; there is a software called Muvee that you put in pictures or film, pick a style and easy movie
