No they only Play Blu-Ray discs they do not record on a blank Blue-Ray disc. Most if not all will also play and upscale DVDs to near HD quality. Some have the ability to connect to the internet and provide additional services. Many are now being sold as part of a Home Theater system unit that includes the Blue-ray player.

No.

It has to be a blueray machine. Blueray machines are backward compatible, you can play standard DVDs and CDs.

They are not forward compatible. The laser used in blueray machines, is significantly different. Normal DVD machines cannot see the blueray disk.

Every approved Blu ray player will play standard DVDs. The only thing is that Blu ray will not play HD, and HD will not play Blu ray. Blu ray is fast emerging as a dominant machine over standard DVD players.

Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?

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.

Will Blu-ray disc players play the Blu-ray disc on a regular tube TV?

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.


Does a Sony Blu-ray play 3d Blu-ray?

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.


Can a regular DVD player play 3D DVDs?

What DVD PLAYER WILL PLAY all formats?

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.
