dvd players best buy canada image
Q. I have the cable box run to the tv and can turn it on with no problem. I have the dvd player with all the right connections run to the cable box. I got my comcast remote to turn on the dvd player (as the aux option). But I don't know what button I'm suppossed to be hittting to change from watching the cable to watching a dvd. Any solution would be great.
Answer
The Motorola DVR from Comcast has all it's input connections turned off, those are open for the consumers in other countries who have to buy there DVR ( i.e. Canada) The only connections are available are the Composite out put (RGB) RCA, and the RF out, the eaithernet , USB, and Firewire ports are closed, (but there are some who have the Firewire ports open if you have the right drivers for your computer.
The USB ports do have power so you can have a usb light or USB fan (the motorola boxes get really really hot)
The best bet would to go wal-mart or another electronics store and get a system selector they are about 20-50 bucks and allow you to hook up to 8 devices to one RCA input

Can you use a DVD player as a disc drive?

Ok, so I have an $800 gaming laptop but there's one problem. It doesn't have a disc drive. But I have a couple of dvd players and a blu-ray player lying around the house. I was wondering if I could somehow hook those up to my laptop via a usb cable or something else and use that to play some physical copies of games I have like GTA:SA or Zoo Tycoon. Any help is appreiciated. Also, I am trying this because I want to avoid going out to Best Buy or Walmart and buying a $30+ USB DVD Drive. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I have a desktop computer that I don't use, is there a way to take the dvd r drive out of it and connect it to a laptop?
Answer
No.
Standalone players cannot be adapted or modified to be used that way.
Even if it was possible, the extra electronic parts needed
would cost far more than $30.
On top of that, you would have to know what parts to use, how to connect them,
and how to write the necessary software to make it all function.
