User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive. On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions. You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Question:	Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os
Answer:	This is basically a laptop optical drive in an external case with USB connection. I would think so. If the installation disk contains the installation software and the computer can access a USB device then it should. Changes to the boot device may be required.
Question:	Does this play games like sims
Answer:	It's played all my games without so much of a skip.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it work with an imac desktop
Answer:	Same thing happened to me. I tried to connect it to 2 different MacBook Pro laptops and the device kept making grinding noises, unable to read the dvd. The dvd was stuck for over 20 minutes and I kept tapping the top of the device (as instructed) before it finally ejected the disc. Neither MacBook was compatible with this device. Waste of time and money. :(
Question:	I have the latest version of the MacBook Air, will this work for playing movies and cds? Is there an eject button? I couldn't see one in the pictures
Answer:	I had the SAME question, and given that the Manufacturer said "No"... They should tell Amazon, so it isn't listed under BLU-RAY Players.

User questions & answers

Question:	Did anyone have problems using this with windows
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: It's supposed to work with Windows 10 but it does not work. I didn't return it when I should have - hoped to get it to work but I didn't. Wasted money!
Question:	Will this play cd/dvd's on my lao top? is that what it is for
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: I have been unable to use this player. I wanted to return in but since it has so many positive reviews I decided to hang on to it and keep trying but it still is not working. Am I doing something wrong? I have an all-in-one HP with Windows 10 and it usually plays DVDs flawlessly but the DVD 'door' came off and it no longer works so I purchased this...it does not work. The disc goes in, then it makes all these grinding sounds and then-nothing. It stops. Before I throw it in the trash-any suggestions?
Question:	will this cd drive work for still photos and videos
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	Will I need to download a driver to install programs from CDs to my laptop or does it work like an internal drive since it's plug&play
Answer:	From page 5 of the Amicool User Manual: Precaution: Item 3. Whether the drive can be recognized depends on the internal driver program. Almost all older operating systems contain an internal driver program that can recognize the CD drive directly without installation. Please make sure that your computer has the internal driver program. If you don't have one yet, please feel free to contact us. We can send you a link to download a driver. I am waiting for a response from Amicool.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it include software for disc burning
Answer:	Hi Ricko,If the Tv has an HDMI input available you go from DVD player hdmi out to the TV using an HDMI cable if not RCA audio & video which are yellow for video Red for right side audio & white for left side audio. Look at the back of your directive box if it has an s video out use that for video to the dvd player & RCA audio cable red/white for sound. If the directive box does not have an S video out then use RCA cable.for audio & video.
Question:	Will this work with an ipad pro
Answer:	Yes, that is what I use it for exclusively. First I record a program on my dvr, then I play the DVR'd program while recording on the Toshiba. I have a component cable (3 prongs) that runs from my cable box (video, audio L and audio R out) to my Toshiba (video, audio L and audio R in). Works great. This also allows me to control when I start and stop the recording. Sometimes a movie will not last a full two hours, but will stop 10 minutes before to show "coming attractions," etc.
Question:	Can i load software onto my mac with this? mac no longer makes computers with a drive and i need to load some software that is not downloadable
Answer:	If you don't have a cable or satellite receiver and are receiving your tv signals with an antenna, you either have a tv with a digital tuner or a separate digital tuner/ converter box connected to your tv. If you're using a digital converter box from your antenna to the tv, connect the outputs from the digital converter box into the inputs of Toshiba DR430 Recorder and then connect the outputs of the recorder to the TV inputs. You will be connecting from the video (yellow jack), audio (red & white jacks) to the same colored jacks in & out from the Toshiba DVD Recorder to an input on the TV. If you're not using a digital converter box already for your local stations, you will have to buy one to connect to the Toshiba Recorder to record local shows because the recorder does not have a tuner in it. You can buy them for about $30 bucks at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. I gave you a lot of information but it's easy to setup. They can guide you at Radio Shack. I have one box hooked just this way and it works fine. Hope this was of help.
Question:	Is this compatible with windows
Answer:	Some channels are copy-protected and will not record onto dvd....
Question:	what cables will i need to hook up to my direct tv and tv
Answer:	There is NO such thing as HDMI input on a DVD recorder. Part of HDMI is to prevent end users from recording copyrighted material so you will never see an hdMI input on anything but a TV.
Question:	can you record from cable dvr
Answer:	There are a few different ways that you can connect a cable box to the DMR-ES25S. I've mainly used the composite RCA outputs (red, white, and yellow cables) to connect with. Here is the manual that shows you different ways to connect the cable box to the unit: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/118163/Panasonic-Dmr-Es25.html?page=9#manual
Question:	This device can record tv local programs?. I mean I don't have cable company
Answer:	The DVD recorder's input connections are RF (coax), composite, and S-video. S-video is analog. If you have S-video output from your computer, and separate audio to the RCA jacks, it probably would work. Haven't tried it. If you're thinking about recording protected signals (say, play a protected DVD on your computer and record on the DVD Recorder), don't expect that would work because the electronics typically disrupt those signals from being recorded.
Question:	does it record cable tv directly to dvd disc
Answer:	Yes, absolutely.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	The key to this is the play along midi files. The expensive packet has more play along files than the less expensive ones. I got caught out with this variation in prices and realized too late that I ordered one with too little play along files. I hope that you make the right choice for your needs.
Question:	Is it good for mac book air
Answer:	I got mine as a hard copy dvd I do not know bout download I did in past download Komplete ultimate 10 but it took me forever and I learn know . also I can't believe I paid this money for this Great software its priceless and you can do a lot with it unfortunately a lot of musicians don't know bout it take yr time and dive deep
Question:	Can this play small camcorder dvds that are dvd-rw
Answer:	This program is really for the creation of Media (the making of Blu-Ray and DVD discs) rather than playback as a media player.
Question:	Will this work with a desktop iMac which has optical drive
Answer:	I believe it is the full version with all of the functions. It will stop working when the trial period of 30 days is over.
