You have a DVD player with speakers, not surround. For best results you need to get a real surround system. But you can use an audio DAC.

Not with gear a mere mortal has access to.

Check the audio output format in player setup.

Do a code search. If that fails, that brand is not supported, either at all or on older remotes.

You need a GPU that supports the needed security, and HDMI connection to your display.

Bku-Ray is a disc format, period. HD is HD, like your HDTV.

Try Toshiba parts. Get a universal and try Toshiba DVD codes.

Around $60, but you may not want to get cheapest for a gift. I have an LG-BP-200 that sells for around that, an I like it well enough.

You need either their specified adapter, or to use Ethernet, with a WiFi-Ethernet bridge, or run an Ethernet cable from the router to your player.

It depends on the connections. My old computers I used VGA. My new one uses HDMI.

You may not notice the difference directly in PQ, but may in features of moves, features of the player (especially network connected ones), and that at some point, new movies will only be released on Blu-ray,

You need to go buy a proper surround receiver. It is what does all the work of decoding the surround from the optical out, to 5.1 channels, processing it with a level control and other adjustments, and amplifying it for the full range speakers. You will need an active sub which has a line in.

You need to buy and install one, or buy and install a DVD player app. And yes, I said buy, because the DVD decoders that are missing need paid for because of patents and licensing.

You don't., simply. You need to connect the player to an A/V on your TV directly. You should use a component cable (RGB plus R/W audio).

You need a DVD-Video. It is more that a file format, but a folder and file structure, plus burnt in a special media format. You need a DVD authoring software such as Windows Movie Maker, Nero Vision, or iDVD on Mac. Good apps will be pay.
