A CD/DVD player is an electronic device designed to read and play compact discs (CDs) and digital versatile discs (DVDs). These players convert the digital data stored on the discs into audio or video signals, allowing users to enjoy music, movies, and other media. Many modern players also support various formats, including MP3 and JPEG. Most CD/DVD players connect to a television or audio system using standard cables. They often come with features like remote controls, built-in speakers, and the ability to pause, rewind, or fast-forward through content. Some players also include additional functionalities, such as Blu-ray playback or streaming capabilities.
