  • QuestionIs this device compatible with the Samsung Chromebook laptop

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer What connectivity does your Samsung Chromebook have, and which Chrome OS version does it have? The LG 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80, connects to external devices via its micro USB port and receives its power from the USB port. Chrome OS does not natively support DVD playback. The operating system lacks built-in DVD playback software, and there is no way to play DVDs directly without third-party applications or external DVD drives. While some experimental support for DVD playback may be available in Chrome OS version 69 and later, it is not guaranteed on all devices. Users can connect an external DVD drive or use third-party media players like VLC to enable DVD playback on their Chromebooks. We strongly suggest you contact Samsung to inquire if your Chromebook is compatible with external DVD optical drives. It if is, they should have a list of compatible optical drives...^Ivan.

  • QuestionIs there a power light that remains on during usage? My player starts a CD but than stops about 5 seconds in. I have charged it. Any ideas?

    Asked by RABI.

    • Answer The LG 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80, receives its power from the USB port it is connected to. It does not need to be charged. The drive has an LED Drive activity indicator, that shows when the drive is active. What type of CD disc are you trying to play, and does this happen for every CD you attempt to play? You can try using a CD/DVD lens cleaner to remove any dust or smudges that may be affecting the laser's ability to read the disc...^Ivan. You can check to make sure the CD is clean and not scratched. A dirty or damaged disc can prevent the drive from reading it properly.

  • QuestionCan this burn DVD movies to your computer?

    Asked by KellyHarvey.

    • Answer You can read DVD formatted discs and copy to your computer. In my case, I converted old DVD's of family photo slideshows to mp4 files for saving onto my MacBook, mp4 is a more compact video format. I did need to purchase a low cost application from the App store to make the conversion.

  • QuestionCan this be used with Chromebook’s?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, there. Thanks for reaching out with your question about the LG DVD Drive (SP80NB80) model. We’re glad to help clarify things for you. While it works primarily with Windows and Mac OS, it can also be used with a Chromebook. However, there are some limitations. You can read and copy data files like documents and photos from CDs and DVDs, but playing movies directly from a DVD or music from an audio CD is not possible due to Chrome OS lacking the necessary software codecs. This unit can write data, but Chrome OS cannot burn files to a disc. To watch movies or rip music, you’ll need a different OS, like Windows or Linux.

We’ll be happy to help. ^Juvy

  • Questioncan it be hooked up to a car stereo system

    Asked by gg.

    • Answer Hi, there. Thanks for reaching out with your question about the LG Portable DVD Writer (SP80NB80) model. This unit is meant for computers (Windows or Mac OS) and not compatible with car stereos, as it requires specific software not available on them. Car stereo USB ports are designed for flash drives, not for operating an optical drive. Additionally, the drive can't handle the vibrations and temperature changes in a vehicle, which could damage it. For more details on the product, visit https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-sp80nb80-slim-external-dvd-drive. If you have more questions, message us on social media @LGUSSupport.
