How to Watch a UMD Video
Watching UMD videos on a PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a great way to watch videos on the go. The newer model PSP's also come equipped with a video input that lets you watch UMD videos on a TV. The video input is only on the PSP 2000 and 3000 models. The PSP Go model does not have a UMD drive.

Tips & Warnings
It's a good idea to plug in the AC power adapter when you watch a movie, to prevent the PSP's battery from dying. If you plan on watching UMD's regularly on your TV, keep the Component/AV cables plugged in. The PSP 1000 cannot play UMD videos on TV, due to not having a video input.
