Title: Can someone help me find a DVD player/burner for my cp with no tray?
Post by: mccoy178 on January 25, 2006, 06:57:16 pm
I tried doing a search with no success.  I'm looking for a DVD player/CD burner to put in my jukebox that is trayless similar to a car cd player.  Any help is appreciated.


I think having MP3 burning capabilities is a must.

Do you just mean a PC-dvd rom drive, or a stand alone dvd player?

If Pc, I think Pioneer make some slot loading ones. Try Pioneer DVD-120S or similar I think...

Yes, I am looking for one that will hook up through an IDE cable.  Thanks Silver, I'll take a look.  Everyone else, keep the ideas coming!

I know I've seen one like that at Fry's but that was a while back.  The university I used to work for had those in their shuttle pcs so let me try and contact my friend there to find out a brand name.

Here's one: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4193_37511,00.html

You are looking for a "slot loading" dvd rom.  Check out google.

Don't know much about it, I just remembered seeing it while browsing NewEgg the other day.

I have a pioneer slot load DVD-ROM that i bought a few years agos.  I just looked on Newegg and the only ones they stock now are plextor models.

Thanks fellas!  Keep the ideas coming.  Based on the reviews of the plextor, I'm a little nervous about its performance.
