How many dvds can you put in the machine at a time? Also can I use the system with my old analog TV until I replace it with an HDTV?

One DVD at a time. Only if you have the right audio and video hook up access

The answer appears to be no. WHY, IN GOD'S NAME no one seems to be able to figure out that I -- and I'm betting lots of others -- don't want to have three freaking different devices for handling streaming media, locally stored media, AND disks (i.e., DVDs, BRs) is beyond me. Everyone tackles ONE part of the damned problem, and totally ignores the other two.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

There is a groove for the smaller dvd's. If it is placed correctly in the machine and closed properly it is possible to duplicate them. Sometimes the rpms will 'float' it and you may get an error message.

Really simple mind HERE....so is there a DVD in it that you can take out and review daily and reinstall? I need a new system...using old tv with vcr..so I can rewind and watch the next day for camera in the back.... could someone kinds give me the simple way this works? Also can you hook to your TV and watch real time?

I haven't used it for DVD's but I did size it for you and depending on how you set it in the drawers you can set about 56 vertical+ horizontal and 51 horizontal+ veritcal per drawer. Both ways you have a little space to put something else. I hope this helped.

I just picked one up from BB today, and the included manual isn't much more helpful. According to the manual, it is going to be up to the individual production of discs as far as what you'll be able to get from components. IF the protection is enabled, without HDMI you will only be able to view 480i or 480p. 720p or 1080i, either through HD DVD or upconverted SD DVD would/could be blocked. Hope this helps. Like I said, I have the unit and I'm watching it now with SD DVDs until tomorrow, and the upconversion is MUCH better than my previous Toshiba DVD upconversion player. Star Wars III was absolutely fantastic (picture wise. Unfortunately this unit cannot yet "upconvert" poor scripts, but I digress). If anyone wants to ask anymore questions, I'll be picking up a couple HD DVDs tomorrow (Tuesday 4/18) as well as getting some from Netflix, so I'll have plenty of review material.

You can sync them together. So you can put a DVD in unit one and be watching it on unit two. Or you could put a DVD in unit two and watch it in unit one.

I have contacted Amazon to (hopefully) update this listing, but in the meantime here are the capacity specs for this model: "Capacity: 391 CDs, 189 DVDs, 320 Blu-Ray discs, 112 VHS cassettes or any combination thereof"

I noted my experience earlier. I'm using 7 shelves for a combination of DVDs, Blu Rays and VHS tape. The tapes and DVD are about the same height. With this mix I'm getting about 30 per shelf. That works out to 210. You may get more if all you are storing are DVD and still more if the DVDs are in the thinner case. Hope that helps.

I have an (old) harmony 720, hopefully the same holds for this one...You can add multiple different TVs to the device. Just put each TV in a different "activity". e.g. I have activities like "Watch TV (Fam Rm)", "Watch TV (Study)", "Watch TV (BR)". Selecting a device for just one activity turns on the devices for just that activity. If I recall, I had the option of choosing whether to turn off the unused devices. Mine is programmed with 3 different TVs, 3 different DVD players, 3 different VCRs, Cable box, audio receiver. So, I can use it to control every device in my house with activities for each room (mix of devices).

This device has 4 audio and video (RCA type) outputs. Whatever audio/video feed going into it can be sent to 1 up to 4 devices. At 480P resolution which is what you would expect from a standard DVD there is no loss.

Yes, you can store DVDs, TV shows and photos on this unit. I've got four of these and videos are mostly what I store on them. HDTV captures tend to take up a lot of space.The drive comes preformatted as FAT32 for compatibility with most operating systems and that limits the maximum file size to 4GB. If you want to store large files (e.g. DVD ISO backups) on this hard drive, I suggest you reformat it using another file system. If you use Windows 2000 or higher, might I suggest reformatting to NTFS?Unless you have a player with USB capability and support for computer files (the Oppo Digital comes to mind), you're limited to watching on your PC.

No, one disc at a time. If you have only region one DVD, or Blu ray you do not need this. It is a multi region Blu ray DVd player.
