Most Blueray players have an analog output that delivers standard definition signals. If a high definition disc is played, the output will normally provide an SD version of the content. Using the analog output means that it is possible to use Blueray players on SD televisions. When an HD television is installed, the HDMI port can be used to obtain HD video.
Before purchasing a Blueray player, check that it has an analog output and that it provides a down converted signal of HD material on the analog ports.

∙ 11y agoIf your Blu-ray player ONLY has an HDMI out then I think you're buying a new TV. Older TVs don't have HDMI in. However, check to see if your Blu-ray player has other outputs. Almost all have standard definition outputs such as composite video, S-video or component video with a separate sound output. They will normally show up as RCA (phono) connectors.

Do you need a special DVD player to play Blu-ray movies?
BluRay discs carry high definition television and therefore store data in a high density format. A standard definition DVD player will not recognise a BluRay disc and will simply report an error if one is loaded. On the other hand, a BluRay player will not only play BluRay discs but will also handle standard DVDs. Most will also recognise and play CD format discs. Most Bluray players will also down convert the HD signal from a BluRay disc so that it can be viewed on a standard definition television. In this case, of course, the image quality will be the same as any other standard definition signal. To benefit from the high definition signal, an HD television is also required.
Your older and cheap DVD will play rental DVD movies but you are told by the company it will only play 2x DVD-r. It's a 5 year old Sylvania DVD player. Why is that?

Can you play a double layer DVD in any DVD player?
Unless you have an old, old DVD player, most likely you'll be just fine, since most commercial DVD's on the market are double layer disks. Give it a try. If it doesn't, then it doesn't, but I'd be willing to bet a donut that it will.

How do you play The Sims Life Stories without a PC-DVD player?
If the game has been released on a PC CD (will be more than one CD included in the packaging), then you will be able to use it to play The Sims Life Stories. Otherwise, you will need to upgrade to a DVD player for your PC. The regular old DVD players for PCs are fairly cheap these days if you get one without any whips and bangs. Just get something simple if you must.
