A DVD player is an electronic device designed to play Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs), which are optical discs used for storing video, audio, and data. DVD players connect to a television or projector, allowing users to watch movies, shows, or other content stored on DVDs. They can also play CDs and, in some cases, Blu-ray discs. Most DVD players come with features like remote controls, on-screen menus, and the ability to pause, rewind, or fast-forward content. Some models offer additional functionalities, such as USB ports for playing media files or Wi-Fi connectivity for streaming online content.
