As configured, it doesn't appear to allow DVD movies to be viewed.

Welcome to our Ratings and Reviews section!
The Lenovo Slim DVD Burner is just as it states a DVD Burner. Although it has CD/DVD rewrite and media playback capability, the device is not a DVD Player alone. If you need assistance regarding your machine, please contact our Technical Support team at https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/.
I purchased this product for my son to use on his Yoga 910 that he purchased for college. It will not play DVD's. The software only allows for burning disks even though this was the recommended item for burning AND playing DVDs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for reviewing our Slim DVD Burner. We apologize for the issues you're experiencing with your DVD Burner. This device has the capability to burn disks and support media playback. Have you tried playing an original DVD as of yet? If the original DVD is not working, then there may be a formatting issue. If you are still having issues, please contact our Technical Support team page at https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/. Please let us know if this helps.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this, I can't remember exactly when but I must say I am loving it. It was pretty cheaper than expected and I was waiting to see what exactly I bought that cheap. I can't complain because it is doing exactly what it said it was going to be doing.
Purchased a Yoga 910 and bought this to go with it. Hooked it up, loaded the software from the included disk, all looked well. Tried to play a DVD this morning only to discover that it doesn't work. The "PLAY" menu item is missing and the help for the software tells me that, depending on what version of the software I have, all menu options might not be available. What the heck? Bought this specifically to play DVDs, and the Lenovo website says "Have access to your disks when you need it." Well, I don't have access. Geesh!!!
