The HT-C5500 plays both DVD and Blue Ray. It will also upscale a Standard Definition DVD to play it in HD.

you need software to play blu rays , play back software is about $100.The answer is yes but you'll have to buy additional software .This is the case no matter what player you buy

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

By far, the majority of my high def wish list is on HD DVD exclusively. For me, the question was never "should I buy HD DVD" it was "should I buy a player that will allow me to play the odd BD too". Both formats will be around for years to come, and I think that smart buyers are among the early adopters of the universal/dual player formats.

I'd say..get a PS3...it's a good blu ray player plus you get a console...it's a bit more expensive at $299 , but I think it's worth it...I've had mine for a year, and it's great for movies and games and more...at $100 ..it's hit or miss...but the sylvania blu ray might be what you're looking for..it's 129$ on Amazon...

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

No - this is a basic DVD player. I was looking for a low-price, fairly quality player just to have on my desktop while I work. Right now, I feel like the Blu-ray versions are higher priced than they are worth and since I've gone through two different portable DVD players (not this model or brand) and I didn't want to waste that amount on something I was unsure of.

not sure , also HD DVD players no longer are selling,unless you have an old one, Blue ray is the best choice, however the HD DVD player will play regular DVD' s

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

I purchased my plan at the same time as the purchase of the Panasonic Blu-Ray DVD player. I'm sorry, that I don't know the true answer to your situation. So far, I really like my player and have had no problems whatsoever.

Yes, but you'd be better off with a regular blu ray player, unless you've got a substantial HDDVD collection.

As far as I know, it's JUST a DVD player...Blu Rays won't play on DVD players but DVD's will play on Blu-Rays. I think the price would be a lot higher if it were a Blu Ray player. Do not buy this if you're looking for a Blu-Ray Player.

plug it in and get blu ray software, either the free versions or the paid versions.

I bought the bd 530 at walmart for 65 bucks. For a blu ray player it's worth the price, I can browse you tube and play funny videos. I might not get my netflix, but that's why I have a monitor cable to hook my laptop or pc to the bigscreen. Enjoy the bd 530 it's a great buy.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!
