Do blu-ray players (in general) play regular dvd's too? Just Curious.

Yes they do. For most, the Blu-Ray player enhances the regular DVD quality.

the blu-ray must have a different/unique frequency. different than others i would try ordering the remote from the company that made the dvd player(i am a certified microsoft programmer ask away i love to answer)

Does not play blu-ray. Just dvd and cd's. I just bought for the multi region capability and it fits my needs just fine. I dint want to spend a lot of money and I don't think Blu-Ray is all that much better then DVD. I think this was a good buy.

I live in the central Ohio region.Yes-- generally, Blue- Rays players can play DVDs but DVD players cannot play Blu- Ray Discs.

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

I know this is an old question but in case anyone new is looking I just want to clarify that yes it will play regular DVD's (NTSC only - does not play PAL) and it will automatically up convert them to HD. However, and Amazon still has not fixed the false claim that it will convert non-3D DVD/Blu Ray to 3D. If a film is not in 3D this will NOT magically create a 3D version.

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.

I don't have any Blu-Ray discs and cannot find any reference whether or not this computer will play them. I assume that it does not.

Yes, it plays regular DVDs just fine, Though I have lots of issues with this model when it comes to playing Blue-rays. I would recommend a different player.

Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD

WTH!My HD DVD players will start at the point where you stop it.Of course since they don't make HD DVD any more because Sony cornered the market on High Definition DVD's we're stuck with their problematic Bluray disc players.And why can't they make a bluray that can also play a HD DVD?Anyway thanks for the feedback Knocker!

My player doesn't upscale very well at all. And, I am hooked up using HDMI. No way does Blu-ray Disc compare to HD DVD. I used to have an HD-XA2 and an HD A35 and those players were amazing at upscaling. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference between high-def and standard def.

So, is there a "special" DVD player just to play region 7 DVDs? What a bout the multiregion DVD players?

You know, some do, but they come in all sizes. BluRay discs are the same size as DVD discs, but the covers vary in size, some much bigger. Any Bluray player can also play a regular DVD, it's just the covers vary in design. You could always put them in sideways.

Yes, it does play both. Blu-ray, obviously, in HD. And has a nifty upconvert feature for DVDs which is almost HD quality to the DVD.

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