[1.52] Can my DVD player get a virus?
There's almost no chance your DVD player can be
infected with a virus of the kind that infect computer software.
DVD players have simple computers in them that run commands from
the disc as it plays, but memory is reset when you press Stop or
eject the disc. The firmware in some DVD players can be upgraded
by inserting a special disc (see 1.47), so it's theoretically possible someone could make a
disc that damages the firmware of a player, but it's highly unlikely
and would only have an effect on a few models
