Yes. Some Blu-ray Players can even play photo CDs and some can even display data on SD cards
All players can, but not the very early ones (the first ones were manufactured in 2006)
All Blu-Ray players can play DVDs and CDs
A BluRay player should play Bluray discs, DVDs and CDs and may also be able to display pictures and other data.
The only discs that a BluRay player cannot handle are HD DVDs, a high definition format that was a competitor to BluRay a fews ago.
Mostly, blu ray players are complitable with dvd , so you could player dvd with a blu ray player.
well i can say pretty much yeah
yes it can
First, Blu-Rays are not DVDs. People should not get the two mixed up. Blu-Ray discs will only play on Blu-Ray players and those will only work on HDTVs. Blu-Ray players can play DVDs, but DVD players are not compatible with Blu-Ray
Yes they are. They all play DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.Yes they do. They need to be connected to the HDTV with 1080P and a HDMI cable for the Bluray to work as a Blue ray disc player
only if ur DVD player is codefree & supports PAL dvds. usually a DVD player sold in the us only accepts rc1 dvds.Australian dvds are RC4. and PAL. US dvds are NTSC. so if the us DVD player is a cool one it should play the DVD :) any PC can play it with the right software, i.e. the VLC media player (www.videolan.org). greetz
You can play DVDs for your region
because the PS2 is not meant to play DVDs it says it is but really...the DVDs are MUCH too hard on the laser for it to be handled frequently so when your PS2 stops playing DVDs STOP trying,..youre on the verge of ruining the PS2 for good! what this guy is saying is a load of kcrap the PS2 is made to play dvds as much as you want it is not hard on the laser at all
Yes, BluRay DVD players also play non Blu-Ray DVDs with no problem.
No and HD DVDs have been permanently discontinued
Yes
DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive. That is the case whether or not there is any up-scaling available in the player. Bluray players on the other hand are quite happy to play DVDs as well as Bluray discs.
No, it will not play Bluray discs, but it is upscaling, so you can watch your regular DVDs at HD quality.
A DVD player cannot play a BluRay disc. A BluRay player can play both BluRay discs and DVDs.
Most Bluray players can play either DVDs or Bluray discs using a standard definition television. Almost all Bluray players have an analog composite, S-video or component output that can be used. Before purchasing, check that the player has an output that the television can accept. Note that the quality of the image will be standard definition and not HD. All Bluray players today limit their analog outputs to SD so even with an HD television, analog inputs will not deliver HD images.
Bluray players are backwards compatible so they will play standard DVDs as well as Bluray discs. Note that although the DVD is being played by a Bluray player, it does not make it HD quality. Some bluray players will up-convert the standard definition image from 480 or 576 lines up to 1080 lines but although the format is HD, the image quality still remains standard definition.
No. All current 3D disc content is HD and so use Bluray discs. You have to have a 3D Bluray player.
All DVDs can play on Blu-Ray players
Depends on what you mean by "all formats". A BluRay player will play all commercial DVDs, music CDs, and BluRay DVDs, but may not play some compressed formats like avi, mp3 or mkv files. You need to check the specifications to find out what formats an individual machine will or will not play.
DVD players and drives cannot handle Bluray discs, whether recording to them or reading from them. Bluray players and drives on the other hand can use DVD discs as well as Bluray discs.
