Do these play regular DVDs also or only Blu Ray discs?

Mary, these play both, with the added benefit of making most regular DVDs sharper than they ordinarily play as well. We've been really pleased with this aspect, as I hadn't realized this when I purchased it! Hope this helps!

It doesn't play blu-ray discs, but you can get an external blu-ray player which uses a USB connection. There is one on sale at TigerDirect right now which should work for you. Here's the link, below. You may even be able to find better and/or less expensive ones with a bit of shopping around.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3170776&CatId;=3634

PC Blu Ray drives are generally backwards compatible with DVD. They can play DVD's.

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.

First off, this model is not a blu-ray player. It is "upscaling" artificially sharpens DVD's to appear better on HDTVs. To answer your question: No. The very first generation of blu-ray players did not necessarily play DVD's. DVD uses an entirely different laser and lense and adds to the cost of manufacture.

Yes you can play Blu-ray movies. You need to buy a software program to play the movies. Yes it's a combo drive and will do DVDs and CDs.The Blu-Ray program I found that works best on my Windows 7 is from IDeer.

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.

Most (all?) Blu - Ray players are backwards compatible to play both DVD and CD. This one plays all three just fine.

It plays all region dvd's but not blu ray's.I bought it because I have several dvd's from France that I wanted to play and they work fine. Hope that helps.Thanks

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.

use a separate lens cleaner for the dvd player or play your dvd's in your blu ray player they will play in most all blu ray player's.

Yes, so far, I've played discs from Regions A and B. While the player automatically determines the region of any CD being played, it doesn't do that for blu rays. For these, one must turn off the unit, press either a "1" (for A), "2" (for B), or "3" (for C), then power on. No big deal.

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.]

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 plays both blue ray and regular DVDs. It does not play HD. Overall it has been an excellent player. However, do not upload the software upgrades. The player won't work after. Though lg did fix it for us since it was known issue.
