History
↓↓
The DVD player is an electronic device used to play DVDs, a format for storing digital video, audio, and data.
DVD technology was developed in the mid-1990s by major electronics companies, including Sony, Philips, and Toshiba.
The first commercial DVD players were released in 1996 in Japan and 1997 in the United States and Europe.
DVDs quickly replaced VHS tapes as the standard for home video due to superior picture quality, durability, and storage capacity.
Over time, DVD players evolved to include features like region coding, progressive scan, and compatibility with CDs and other media.
Today, while streaming services have become dominant, DVD players remain in use worldwide for home entertainment, archival, and educational purposes.
