Will a Region A Blu-Ray player be able to play both region 1 and region 2 DVDs?




nagoyarob


I am an American living in Japan. As such, I own many DVDs from the US and from Japan. I bought a region 0 DVD player several years ago. I am considering an upgrade to a Blu-Ray player. I know that Blu-Ray region A players will blay BD discs from the US and from Japan, as they are both Region A. I also know that Blu-Ray players are backward-compatible with DVDs. But, will a Blu-Ray player bought in Japan play DVD's from the US?

Addeendum--I am talking about a plain old tabeltop player for home entertainment--not for the PC.
sorry for the repost part! And for the typos!



Answer
Do you mean a table top DVD Player..??
Or a Playback system on a home computer..??
Because I might have read that software..like Roxio 2011..//plays all the regions..
I would suggest you check that out..
Other than that..you need to read the Specifications of the ITEM at the time of purchase--and make a NOTE of that should you need to make a Return--for false claims.

What kind of DVD/Blu ray player can I get that uses only coaxial cables? I have a satellite box/older tv.?

I bought a new model blu-ray/DVD player but it wouldn't work because my tv is older model and I need coaxial cables instead of HDMI. What kind of player can I get that still has this option?


Answer
You would need to buy a model that was made before January of 2011 there are some available but they are usually expensive compared to newer ones... also some newer blue ray disks will not play in it if you try and do an update to it it may disable the Composite function...or even the whole player....and only HDMI will work if its connected to the Internet it may try and do the update on its own which would also disable the player in fact some blu ray disks simply by placing it in the player and pressing play may disable it....

Is there any difference in playing a dvd on a blu ray compared to a dvd player?

Is there a difference?


Answer
It depends on what blu-ray and DVD player you are comparing. but generally the DVD will look better played in a Blu-ray because it is a native high-definition video component.

All Blu-ray players will attempt to up-convert the digital content of the DVD disc, so as to improve the picture quality. Many DVDs played on a blu-ray player will look better than it was originally recorded. There are also many up-converting DVD players that also feature the same technology to improve the picture quality. Of course you must have a HDTV or monitor that is capable of displaying the improved picture.

All up-converted chip-sets are not created equal, and they are not always 100% successful. The best chip-set is the HQV chip-set, which as a success rate some where in the upper 90% range. The chip-set is used in a few current model Denon Blu-ray players and a lot of first and second generation top-end HD-DVD and Blu-ray players. Denon also uses this chip-set in some of their upper end DVD players.

If you own a large collection of DVD and you don't want to re-purchase then, then the Denon models are worth investigating.

Below are links to the Dennon and HQV websites;

Good Luck!

is 3 out of 5 stars good yahoo for buyinng a blu ray dvd player?

Q.


Answer
The most reliable player for blu ray disc player is the Panasonic. Three 3 is not a very good rating. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on blu ray disc player. I own a first generation player model BD-10 which is over 4 years old and I have had no problem playing over 300 blu ray disc movies. When AVATAR first came out many player (Sony, Samsung & LG the top brands) had problem playing the movie until you had the firmware update, while my Panasonic had no problem. The model BD-65 and BD-85 are the newest model from Panasonic. Hope this will help you out.
