Are the speakers blu ray compatible or limited to standard DVD players?

Hello Zane : ) Yes, they are Blu ray compatible, if your Blu ray has standard RCA stereo audio outputs, or if your Blu ray has a COAX digital or optical (Toslink) audio output (which all Bluray players have at least one or the other), and you purchase a Coax / Optical to RCA analog audio converter. Here is an Amazon link to one of these converters: Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio ConverterThanks, Scott S.

They take a stereo input, so if your blu ray player has a step output it will work. However, nor that the speakers are analogue and stereo. You will not get surround sound.

The speakers are compatible with any device, you can connect it to the tv audio output with rca cables, or through a receiver...

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.

Yes If the DVD Player has Video RCA video Output (Yellow connector) or SVGA connector. The speakers (RCA red and white) are low power so the sound will not be so good. Beware It's 800x600 resolution so the image will not be the standard 1080p

you can go into the Audio and check speaker volume, I turned down the front 2 speakers and the center channel and turned up the rear volume; also when you play dvd or blu ray make sure you have set for 5.1 channel. Not all are set this way automatically. hope that is of some help

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.

I play mine on a sony Blu-ray/DVD player. It plays both DVDs and Blu-ray discs and have had no problems.

of course not, blurays will never work in a dvd player just like a dvd will not work in a cd player

The only thing I use mine for is to play regular DVD's. It is supposed to play blu-ray, however mine will not play them. The streaming function is pretty bad too. I would not recommend this player.

Thomas, this blu-ray player has the Red & White audio out connectors so you will be able to connect it to your external speakers. Joe

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.

It only lists the following formats as playable: Multi-format playback: Capability now includes DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback for flexible playback options.BD is not among them. I say that because, while I own one, I've never actually tried putting a blu-ray disc directly into the drive. As far as I know, it is strictly a DVD player. I use a PS3 for my blu-ray needs.I would opt for something else if you want blu-ray capabilities.

I should have stated this a little better. The audio outs on all blu-ray players that i have been looking at are RCA type connections. My surround speakers now connect with "open end" wires.

These speakers are not self-powered. Thus you need to have the DVD player go through an amplifier or receiver before going to the Bose 161's via speaker level output.

BluRay and regular DVDs, yes. CDs? Perhaps, provided it's connected to something that has sound output. Yeah, you can hear a CD on that unit's speakers, but you may want to connect it to a TV or a different head unit so it doesn't sound 'tinny' and weak. Hope that helped.

I don't think so. Most BluRay players will play DVDs, But Dvd players don't usually play BluRays.

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...
