All Blu-Ray players should play DVDs just fine but this particular one will play my DVDs just fine but not Blu-Ray discs.

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

You will be able to run any install cd or dvd as it is plug and play. If you want to play blu-ray though, you will need to buy a separate player.

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...

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

Does not say anything in the RCA manuel about "blu-ray discs" so i would think NO. I looked thru dvd area and problems and setup did not see anything about it. Sorry. i wish i had seen that toobefore bought as i have several myself, but i do have a computer with software to play blu-ray.

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!

My unit plays all region DVDs. IT will play some Region 2 Blu-ray, but not other Region 2 Blu-ray. Anybody know why? Examples: it will play The Wicker Man region 2 Blu-ray, but not The Shout Region 2 Blu-ray. Please advise.

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.

No, it only plays one disk at a time, but will play both Blu-Ray and DVDs from all regions.

you will need a media player that can do blu-ray. There are some free ones out there; however, PowerDVD14 by cyberlink runs specials all the time and you can get it relatively inexpensive. I think I paid like 80 dollars for mine and it runs fantastic. The player itself (the item on amazon) is stupendous. I highly recommend it. You also need to make sure your resolution on your screen can handle hi-def. If you have an HDMI output more than likely you do, if not check and make sure your resolution is at least 1024 by 728 Good luck

The quick answer is a simple "yes" - your blu-ray player should play back any single-layer or double-layer disc.So far, I haven't had any problems using these discs in a blu-ray player.

Perhaps you need firmware to play or disc is defective. To find out play disc on someone else's blu ray player if it doesn't then you know it's the disc.

Yes, it does play both. Blu-ray, obviously, in HD. And has a nifty upconvert feature for DVDs which is almost HD quality to the DVD.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

I have only played original Bluray DVDs thru the BlueRay DVD player, not thing else, so it is unknown to me.
