The manual lists Blue-ray discs among the ones that CANNOT BE PLAYED. So, no it won't play Blue-ray

I don't have a blue ray player or I would check but I've had mine for three or four years and it still works well and has worked with every computer I've used it with (including Linux and Mac).

There no disc drive at all, so no it does not play blu-ray. I have an external DVD-RW drive that I use if I need to burn a disc.

I've tried the Blu-ray and it didn't work, so no it doesn't play blu-ray discs. It does play regular DVD's and I LOVE the quality of the playback; the screen quality is really good I think.

Yes. I primarily got this unit to play discs of various kinds and I have played DVDs as Well as Blu-Ray and CDs.

Yes it will play Blu rays. The software with it is not a full suite but you can use Windows media player in Win 8.1 for music. I use a third party program for Blu rays as the one included did not allow for movie playback.

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

I don't think so. But, as I am concerned, I wouls not rebuy that player. Cannot read many many DVD Blu ray.

This will only play content from CD/DVD disks. If the disk says "blue-ray" (which is popular for new HD movies) this won't play it! You will need to look for a player that can play blue-ray disks.

Yes. It will play CDs. Optical drives like this Samsung are ALL backward compatible to older disc formats. If it plays Bluray, it will play DVD and if it plays DVD, it will play CD.* *Because they still build all Bluray (blue laser) optical drives with DVD/CD (red lasers) as well

It plays both dvd and blue ray, which is why I bought this particular model.

It only plays what you send to it through Bluetooth or the line-in port. If you have a compact disc player with a line-out and a cord, then the answer is yes.

This Blue Ray is read only so I don't think so. It's mostly a dvd player but it reads Blue Ray but does not play Blue Ray.

no mine doesn't even play blue ray but to return it cost half as much as buying it, don't buy it!

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

For sure it plays normal DVD discs. I haven't tried 2D blu-ray myself, but the promotional literature says it will. In fact, it won't play 3D blu-ray unless you have a 3D TV (obviously).
