Does the Blue Ray tower also copy regular DVDs? Or does it only copy blue ray to blue ray? Thank you!

anything less technical then blu ray that is a burned copy to begin with will be manufactured by that machine that means no store bought you can't go to Blockbuster and make a copy

It will copy BluRay to BluRay, DVD to DVD and CD to CD. However if you try to copy a store-bought disc which is copy protected by the manufacturer, it will not make a copy. In other words, it will not make an illegal copy.

The rule is if it's not a Blue player - it will not play Blue ray . On the other hand if it's a blue ray player it will play a regular DVD Disc and a Blue ray Disc .

This device is multi-region for DVD out of the box. But it is not completely for BD as there is a Region Code Instructions set on a piece of paper. I tried it successfully on mine. - No disc inserted - Press "Setup" - Enter code "1369" - DVD code is set to 0 which means multi-region - Blu Ray code is 1 for region A, 2 for region B and 4 for region C - press "Setup" again to save If you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

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.

It will only work on non-copyrighted movies. Store DVDs/BDs typically have copyrights and/or DRM that will block you from copying. You would need additional software to remove the copyright/DRM from the DVD to be able to copy it (something like AnyDVD). The legality of it is questionable. I hope this helps :-)

That is not true as I only use standard DVD's and it is beautiful and works perfect. I really like this TV and would definitely buy it again as it does exactly what I purchased for.

Is it possible to make a DVD from this machine of shows you have recorded from Dish Network? Mine SHOWS to be recording, but when I play it back, the DVD is black / blank with no sound. (We have a compatable Samsung HDTV; all our components are run through a Yamaha sound bar system.) Do the disks (I'm using +R) have to be formatted first, or do they automatically format? Thanks in advance.

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I know that this dvd player is not Blue Ray. I have not tried to play any in there because I do not have any, so I cannot say for sure! I suppose that if it can play them, it would not be with the Blue Ray quality... This dvd player even plays dvd's that are scratched, which otherwise would not work in most other players.

It USED TO play both blu-ray and non blue-ray DVDs. All blu-ray players that I know of ARE SUPPOSED TO play both. After a software update, it stopped playing regular DVDs (other people mentioned this, too). After trying to find a FIX on the internet, we gave up and purchased a SAMSUNG blu-ray player. I recommend that you buy a new model (and not LG). They are inexpensive. Unless this model is FREE, you would be better off getting something else. [Note: LG might now have a correction for the software update problem. We dumped ours about 2 years ago.]

Though I have not tried it myself, I think Blue-ray is the only format you can burn even though other formats are allowable for play back. Being a blue-ray burner blue ray discs are the only kind you can write on.

I have a problem with this Blu-Ray player, too... but my problem is different. The system sound is fine, and it plays regular DVDs just fine... but if we try to play a Blu-Ray, the play keeps getting interrupted and/or randomly skipping forward or backward by itself. We even took the batteries out of our remote control thinking maybe that was the problem, but the system still randomly stopped/skipped around in playing the Blu-Ray. Any ideas?

The question raised by Robert Jordan is also of interest to me. How can one transfer DVDs to Archos 7? What problems are we likely to encounter and how should we resolve them? What is the best software to load DVDs and Blu ray disks? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Actually, this model doesn't burn Bluray disc. It can only read bluray disc. It will burn CD and DVD though. I am sorry about the confusion.

Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD
