A DVD player is composed of sophisticated electronics, including a disk drive mechanism, a printed circuit board, and an optical system assembly. It consists of a spindle that holds the disk and a motor that spins it.
Subsequently, one may also ask, how does the DVD player work?
A DVD player is very similar to a CD player. It has a laser assembly that shines the laser beam onto the surface of the disc to read the pattern of bumps . The DVD player decodes the MPEG-2 encoded movie, turning it into a standard composite video signal.
Furthermore, what part of the DVD is read? The polycarbonate substrate makes up most of the disc, including the area that is read by the laser (opposite the label side on CDs). It is present on both sides of a DVD, even a “single-sided” disc with a label on one side.
In respect to this, how do you assemble a DVD player?
