  • QuestionWill this also plug right into a TV without a computer?

    Asked by Bobby.

    • Answer The LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/±R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # GP65NB60, features a built-in TV Connectivity mode that allows you to connect the drive to a compatible television's USB port so you can browse and play digital media files (like photos, music, and videos) directly on your TV screen, effectively mimicking a massive USB flash drive. Because a television cannot read a standard disc file system the way a PC or Mac does, you must manually toggle the drive into this special mode. You will need to connect the drive to your TV's USB port via the included USB cable. Open the disc tray by pressing the eject button. With the tray open, press and hold the Eject/Open button for more than 2 seconds. The LED indicator light will turn on (or change behavior), signaling that the drive has switched into TV Connectivity mode. Then insert your media disc, close the tray, and use your TV's input/media player menu to select the USB device...^Ivan.

  • QuestionWill tis work well with my Dell Inspiron 15?

    Asked by Bobby.

    • Answer The LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/±R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # GP65NB60, is a Plug and Play device. When you connect it to a computer, it is designed for immediate use without hassle. Your computer's operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) will automatically detect the drive and install its own native drivers within seconds. It is entirely bus-powered, meaning it draws all the electricity it needs directly from the single included USB cable. While the hardware itself is plug-and-play for reading data files, burning discs, and interacting with media, modern operating systems like Windows 10 and 11 no longer include native DVD movie player software. To watch commercial movie DVDs, you will just need to open a free media player such as VLC or install the CyberLink software bundled in the box...^Ivan.

  • QuestionWill This drive work with a laptop that has an AMD chip as opposed to Intel chip

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The type of central processor or chip (such as Intel, AMD, Intel, or Apple Silicon M-series) inside your laptop does not matter for an external optical drive to work. The external drive must match your laptop's available ports, using a standard USB-A or USB-C connection, or an appropriate adapter. Software and driver support by your OS (Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS) matter more than the hardware chip itself. Like most current drives, the LG 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/±R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive - Black Model: GP65NB60 is a plug-and-play drive. You do not need to download or install any external drivers to get your computer to recognize it. It works automatically when plugged into a USB port on both Windows and macOS...^Ivan

  • QuestionCan this connect anyway to connect to a Samsung tablet Android and what else is needed for cord to software?

    Asked by AndroidTabletConnect.

    • Answer Hi, there! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG External Drive (GP65NB60). No, this device don’t support external USB DVD drives for reading or playing discs. Even with adapters, tablets don’t have the drivers or software needed to recognize or run the drive. If you’re looking to access disc content on a tablet, the alternative would be to use a computer to rip or transfer the files and then move them to the tablet, since the tablet can only read digital files, not physical discs.

  • QuestionIs this equipment compatible with ROKU smart television?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, there! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG External Drive (GP65NB60). The GP65NB60 is a USB external DVD drive, and Roku TVs do not support USB playback from optical drives, so the unit won’t function when plugged directly into a Roku television.

  • QuestionCan this be used to transfer music files from factory CD's?

    Asked by happypappy.

    • Answer Hi, there! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG External Drive (GP65NB60). The LG GP65NB60 external DVD/CD drive can indeed be used to transfer music files from factory‑pressed audio CDs. When you insert a standard music CD into the drive, your computer can use its preferred media software to rip or convert the tracks into digital audio files such as MP3, WAV, or FLAC. The drive simply reads the disc, and your computer handles the file‑saving process.
