Supported disc formats

Insert the disc, and then select the content from the content area. Your PS4™ system must enable the disc playback feature over the Internet, one time only, before you can play any BDs or DVDs. After this feature is enabled, your PS4™ system doesn't have to connect to the Internet to play BDs or DVDs.
