blue ray/ dvd: does this play both blue ray and dvds?

Yes, it does. In fact, all blu-ray players are backward compatible so it can play your regular DVDs and even upscale them which improves the quality over standard dvd players. Blu-ray players also play many kind of formats such as music CDs, mp3 CDs, jpg. CDs and several more. Streaming ability of services like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc. is actually why most people buy such systems. In other words, you get much more than just blu-ray capability...

No...it's just the receiver. You have to have a separate DVD or blue ray player. You connect the player to the receiver to listen to it in surround sound.

It isn't a blue ray disc, but it plays fine in a blue ray player. It plays fine on my laptop, which doesn't play blue ray discs.

Hi! NO it is not a blue ray disc set. Sometimes the format maybe just off and some dvd players are able to still play it and others are not. One of the disc will not play on a particular dvd player of mines while it plays on another. Hope this helps.

No, it has a DVD SuperMulti drive. It will play DVDs, but not Blu-ray discs.

no mine doesn't even play blue ray but to return it cost half as much as buying it, don't buy it!

Hi there. I just had it put in. I dont think it plays blue ray.. The DVD is good. The only thing is it doesnt play while you are driving, but you can get an adaptor to bypass that. (thats what the installer told me) overall I really like it. If you dont care about navigation, you might want to look at something a bit cheaper.

No. This will only work with a Windows OS computer. If your DVD Blu-Ray has an ethernet connection capability, we recommend that you look for an 'Ethernet Bridge' device.

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

I live in the central Ohio region.Yes-- generally, Blue- Rays players can play DVDs but DVD players cannot play Blu- Ray Discs.

No! and you probably already found this out on the blue ray side... This feature only works on DVD's They have disabled this feature on PowerDVD 13 and 14 for Blue Ray discs.

It's a BD-RE drive. This plays both DVD discs and Blu-ray discs, can burn to DVD-R's, and can make an .ISO from a Blu-ray, but cannot burn to a BD-R.

As long as you have the codecs for DVD, any Blu Ray player will play them. If you're using Windows, Media Player will have the correct codecs.

I know it says it plays blue ray(haven't tried it) don't know about the other- sorry

Yes. However this model will not burn DVDS but will write CD-R and CD-RW formats and reads standard DVDS. I do not believe it can support any HD (blue ray) video formats as is.

I have played with a third party software, Blu ray movies. So it should also play DVD movies too.

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