from what I have researched on the internet about this product that my daughter just purchased, the ACER AS1830T, (the standard configuration) does not include a CD or a DVD player. The good news is there are extra USB ports to hook up an "External" CD and/or DVD or Blueray player. She bought the Samsung DVD player listed as an accessory for the ACER AS1830T to ensure compatibility but this one isn't the blueray type. You would need to research which Blueray DVD external players are compatible with both the hardware and the software which is Windows 7 Home Edition, 64-bit. hope this helps

Yes all blu ray players will play regular DVD... Make sure you burner will burn + discs

Yep. Just download the blu-ray app for free and it will play blu-ray discs.

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

I recommend using a playstation 3 for that. It'll play movies from usb stick or sd, pro duo memory cards. I also use mine for blueray and dvds.

It doesn't play cd's and movie soundtrack cd's on the one I bought. I have it connected direct to my TV via HDMI cable. Course if it had a troubleshooting guide or users manual, that might help. Course I am over 55, so maybe a 5 year old could help. Plays movies ok.

It will only play blu-rays with a software program. The one I use is powerDVD 13

I do not know if it will play these disks. I have never tried to play any type of audio disc on it, only out of region DVDs is all I use it for.

I'd like to know the same thing. I own the computer but have not gotten it to play a blu-ray movie. ??!!

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

Yes, I have successfully played DVDs on this model. The user manual says it plays DVD-video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL in addition to Blu-ray. It also plays CDs, SD cards, and USB media.

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.

The does not have a CD or DVD or Blu-ray drive so will not play Blu-ray dics. I bought a portable disc drive to burn CD's / DVD's that attaches via USB.

For sure it plays normal DVD discs. I haven't tried 2D blu-ray myself, but the promotional literature says it will. In fact, it won't play 3D blu-ray unless you have a 3D TV (obviously).

Typically, in the electronics world, players are backwards compatible. Since this is Blue Ray DVD technology, it should play the older DVD formats the came before. I'm not an expert on this, but I don't recall ever having a DVD (Blue Ray, HD, SD) or CD that would not play in this player.
