Add USB to my existing DVD player
I tried to look into this but I keep getting stuck in rabbit holes so I thought I would ask here. My trailer (circa 2005) has a DVD player that plays out to the 5.1 speakers. I want to somehow add...

As mentioned, the Executive DVD has a built-in amp. You'll have to replace the setup. For compatibility with your 5.1 speaker setup, you may want to look at something like this to keep costs reasonable.
If you want to play both USB video/DVD, then you'll need a player like this:
Panasonic DVD Player $49.99
Or if you want Bluray/DVD/USB video, then a player like:
Ultra Mini Blu Ray DVD Player $89.99
You'll need to connect the HDMI video output of the player into the HDMI input of a 5.1 receiver like:
Wireless Bluetooth Home Audio Amplifier - 100W 5.1 Channel $122.30
Finally, connect the HDMI output above to the HDMI input on your monitor. Or if you don't have HDMI, use an HDMI female to DVI-D male adapter $5.98.
Cost would be from $172.29 to $212.29, plus HDMI cables and DVI-D adapter if needed.
Your other option is to check Goodwill. I've bought a Sony mini Bluray player for $15. And a Yamaha Dolby 5.1 receiver for $10. No remotes included, though generic ones are cheap. Both work fine.
