HomeBlu-ray Player can play Blu-rays, DVDs and CDs cause when the Blu-ray Player manufacturers release thel Blu-ray Disc player, they will make sure the Blu-ray Player has both blue and red laser assemblies, so that they can play both Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. But on the contrary, can a DVD Player play a Blu-ray disc? The answer will be NO.
Why DVD Players Cannot Play Blu-ray Discs?
Blu-ray and DVD require entirely different laser assemblies and the discs are completely different in their format and recorded pits and lands. However, all Blu-ray players include the laser and electronics to play DVDs (as well as CDs), so all Blu-ray players are backwards compatible, but DVD players are not FORWARD compatible to newer higher resolution discs and formats (like Blu-ray).
