User questions & answers

Question:	is this region free dvd
Answer:	Yes, I saw them as I was researching my purchase
Question:	Is there a limit to amount of times you can use a different region Blu-ray
Answer:	Screens typically fit in a channel on both sides. The screen slides up those channels, up into a top channel and up and over the bottom lip. Then it slides down behind the bottom lip. Most aluminum frames work this way.
Question:	So this will play blu ray discs from any region
Answer:	No.
Question:	Do we need to purchase additional software to play blu rays on this
Answer:	Just frame, no screen included.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work with an externally powered usb3 hub
Answer:	I'm using it w/ an amazon external usb 3 hub and it works fine.
Question:	Does this work with Linux
Answer:	Not well. There are many driver issues between the two and I have yet to get it to play a movie without an extensive work around. Get an internal drive if possible.
Question:	Is there an eject button for this
Answer:	Yes, there is an eject button on the front of the drive.
Question:	does it can read double layer bluray disc
Answer:	Wow, the fact that Archgon has come on here and erroneously claimed that this can write dual-layer blu-ray disc is just mind boggling. This does not write blu-rays at all. It is simply a reader of blu-rays. And yes, it reads double layer blu-rays discs fine. I'd hope nearly all blu-ray readers read double layer blu-rays as most movies are double-layer. Single-layer holds 25GB, double-layer holds 50GB. Then you have dual-sided discs which are really 2 blu-ray discs in one. Also, this reads and writes nearly all forms of CDs and DVDs.
Question:	Just got this, what is the deal with the two USB cables? One for Power, one for data? Do I need to use both
Answer:	Yes, one's for power, the other for data. Whether you need both depends on your computer. If you have a recent Mac or a PC with a high-power USB port (one that can provide 1100mA at 5V rather than the standard 500mA USB 1.1/2 or 900mA USB 3) then you just need the one data cable. Otherwise, use both.
Question:	Will this rip blu ray and DVD to my PC with out any other software
Answer:	No and yes. It only plays Blu-ray regardless of software. It will rip DVDs and CDs without any additional software as long as you already have something in your computer. Say, for example, that you already have another drive in your computer and already are burning DVDs and/or CDs. The computer will recognize the player as a another device and use it accordingly. HOWEVER, if you do not have Blu-ray software already in your computer, that ability on the player won't work. you'll just have to get additional software to play blu-rays. In addition, this situation has happened to me while using Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8. I can't says about Macs or any other Windows System software.
Question:	hdmi output
Answer:	Coming from an IT perspective, any Blu-Ray drive that says "External" or "USB" or even "Internal" somewhere in the title is meant to be used only with a computer. This is not to be confused with a Blu-Ray player. Blu-Ray drives, whether they are external USB drives or internal SATA drives, are meant for things like burning Blu-Rays, or otherwise doing more than just reading a Blu-Ray and then displaying an output to a television. These types of drives are not what you're looking for unless you want to strictly use them with computers.
Question:	Does it work on Mac
Answer:	Yes. works just fine on my mac book air running 10.8 and now 10.9. I have used with both MakeMKV and "Free Mac Blu-Ray Player" both with out issues.

Answer:	Dear my friend For cable: RVV4* 0. 30mm cable or CAT network cable for 30m(95feet) between camera and monitor, RVV4 * 0. 50mm cable for 50m(150feet), RVV4 * 1.0 mm cable for 100m(320feet) Also can use CATE cable instead RVV4 for within 100m, thanks! For lock: If use electronic lock, it can open lock directly from monitor. If use Electric bolt lock, Electric strike and Electric magnetic lock, they need extra "power supply control" for connecting the lock and outdoor camera. ASIN for power supply control is B06XRVMGDN.
