A:AnswerI cannot confirm compatibility because I am not familiar with the requirements of a Cyber Power gaming pc. Please refer to the device Owner's Manual for requirements in comparison to the specifications of this unit. ^Daphane https://www.lg.com/us/support/products/documents/SPEC_SP80NB80_111608_PR.PDF
A:AnswerI don't think so unless you are running it through a laptop. It is only the dvd drive which doesn't have any drivers or decoders for sending a signal to the tv.

A:AnswerThe LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80 connects to your PC/Laptop via USB and although the drive is technologically capable of playing any DVD, you will have to change the region settings in your PC/Laptop to play region 2 DVDs. DVD Drives for computers, by default, allow you to set one region for DVD playback, and then change this up to 4 times after that. The drive will then be locked onto the last region used after the fourth time you change it...^IFV

A:AnswerHi Gary, I know how you feel. I'm using a 2014 13" MacBook with Retina Display, It doesn't have a CD drive like my last computer which is why I have to rely on external units. I bought this one which failed after 2 weeks. I've yet to find a suitable replacement I trust. I have High Sierra and it worked fine with my computer before it stopped working at all. The device Software needs to use 64-bit code in order to work with Catalina. First I would try and use your drive on someone else's computer to confirm that it's the Catalina OS rendering your device in operable and not the device itself. If the device runs fine you can look online and see if there's a way to update the software the external drive uses so that it will work properly with the Catalina OS. If all else fails I'd sell it and try to get some of your money back then shop around for a new drive. Only other option I can think of is unfortunately buying a tower desktop computer with its own CD drive. I realize that last option may not work for you at the moment but it is still an option none the less. Hope this helps!
