Does this system include a blu-ray player?

No. It is just a souund bar with wireless sub-woofer. The plug-ins are on a seperate box, which I prefer over having the plug-ins on the sound bar itself. I am very happy with my system. The sound was fine at first, but it seems to improve with use, like a good wooden guitar. It is great, now. It is perfect for filling the room with excellent jazz, stand-up base, and accurate trebles - as if the band were right there. The Sony Bravura Blu-Ray you mention is a very good, and affordable, match. If you can, it is good to have components that match up with each other.

No, it is just the sound receiver. Blu-ray player is separate. The box you see that looks like a blu-ray player is the "brains" of the system and what has the various video inputs and outputs.

No blu-ray player with this system. It is basically speakers for your TV. You can connect a blu-ray player or CD player to this home theater system.

No, Blu-ray player is separate. I also have a sony TV and sony blu-ray player and all work together great.

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.

Yes, it has optical input and includes an optical cable as well. Does not include HDMI cable though.

The unit does not have Pandora nor is it mentioned in the manual as an optional app. You might want to check on Pandora's web site and they should have a way to find compatible Blu-Ray players from all supported manufacturers. My gut response is to say "no" it does not.

This system does not include a Blu-ray player. It matches the dimensions and aesthetics of Sony's Blu-ray players.

No. It's just a sound system. If you hook it up to a blu ray / DVD player that'd work

Yes, but you must have the software that will do it...VLC media player is free and will play blu rays

It does not have a DVD/Blue Ray player, but it does connect to one and the sound is great. All you will need is an HDMI cable

It does. It is not a Blu-Ray drive. Works well so far. It's like a giant tablet. Take care! - John

This model does not. If you want a Blu-Ray reader, you need to order it from SONY's website...

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.

It is, however you need to purchase the software if you plan on running as a Blu Ray player. This is hardware only. I ended up returning it because it would not consistently play my Blu Rays. I would not recommend.

Yes, you will need to purchase a DVD or Blu-Ray player separately; this system does not come with this component.

Not out of the box. It has no cd drive. You would need to buy a external blu ray drive

No. Lots of people are suggesting that Apple is considering adding that as a feature to the 2012 spring release of iMac (if and when they release the new one). Chances are it won't have a blu-ray player, though.

Yes, it does but Windows has programs built-in that will play them. The LG Blu-Ray player is much better and their technical support is much, much better than ASUS!!!
