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 some types of CDs and may include features like remote control, on-screen menus, and the ability to pause or fast-forward. Many modern DVD players also support additional formats, such as Blu-ray discs and CDs, enhancing their versatility. Some models come with built-in features like USB ports for playing media from flash drives or Wi-Fi connectivity for streaming content online.
