SUZANNNA E., This television supports most game consoles (Including PlayStation) and Blu-Ray, DVD players and Home Theater systems. The picture quality for all of them should be great. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. Samsung

Yes, they all play regular dvd's, not just blurays. If you only have a 720p/10801 television, then the bluray player will output the pic at that level. You may have to adjust the settings, but it will still out output it at 720p/1080i

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.

What would people with the choice we have now. I'd like to know the opinion.1. Buy really cheap DVDs NOW and use the upconversions done by the Blu-Ray player for the HDTV.2. Wait to get the true Blu-Ray discs to come eventually at more expensive cost compared against the DVD discs.What would you do?

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

Yes u can play any consol. I love this tv. It's really is a shame sony discontinued making them. I hi no nagitives about the tv and I've had it for a year and a half. Highly recommend this to anyone getting it. Oh, I would try to get the 46" as I wish I had the larger one.

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

Hmm, I've a PS3 and an Xbox, and none of them have any issues with this TV. I've seen 300 on this TV and noticed no such flaws (of course, I'm still not over the euphoria of going HD!), but in all fairness that was the HD-DVD version, so we can't rule out encoding issues on the Blu-Ray side.

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Yes, it does. All blu-ray players should be able to play both formats. You just can't play a blu-ray in a standard dvd player.

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

Hi Wise 1, You can view blu-ray (and *probably* NON-upconverted standard DVD but I'm not sure of this) output using the component outputs. Assuming your TV has component inputs. There is also an RCA video output but this will be very low-fidelity. At least the specs on this TV say those outputs exist (I don't own one of these players ... yet). I say NON-upconverted for standard DVDs, since upconversion only makes sense over HDMI. You won't be getting the most out of your blu-ray player but it will be useable. You will eventually want to upgrade to a TV with a 1080p HDMI input. If you do not need analog outputs for multi-channel decoding (this is usually the case for most people, but not for me) then you can save a bit of money by buying the Panasonic DMP-BD60 instead. If your TV does not have component inputs then don't bother until you get a new TV (but yes you *could* use the RCA composite video option). Hope this helps.

Does not say anything in the RCA manuel about "blu-ray discs" so i would think NO. I looked thru dvd area and problems and setup did not see anything about it. Sorry. i wish i had seen that toobefore bought as i have several myself, but i do have a computer with software to play blu-ray.

Yes, I have successfully played DVDs on this model. The user manual says it plays DVD-video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL in addition to Blu-ray. It also plays CDs, SD cards, and USB media.

If you are asking if it plays the obsolete HD-DVD *format* that was briefly produced in 2006/07, the answer is no.However, all Blu-ray players will play *standard* DVD and upconvert them to simulated high definition.
