Question edited for clarity. Question moved to Blu Ray. The one off eBay is probably from a machine with a similar issue. Take it in for diagnostics and testing. https://www.google.com/search?q=Donvale+3111+audio+repair ..

change your setting on the blu-ray player to 1080p and it doesn't matter if your tv is only 720

possibly because the regions are different to dvd than blu ray, there are 8-9 for Dvd and 3 for blu ray.

Standard DVDSs are read by a red laser while blue ray DVDs are read by a blue laser (hence the name). The blue laser diode is likely to be faulty and therefore standard dvds work but blue ray dvds do not. This is not an easily obtainable or replaceable part.

The Samsung blu-ray players need constant firmware updating. It is best to plug an ethernet cable from your router into the back end of the Samsung ( or get a wireless LAN ). I have multiple units that need updating so I bought a wireless ethernet bridge. The unit will tell you when a firmware update is needed and you then "accept" it through your remote. If you don't want to do this, then you will have to do it through the USB. That means you go to the Samsung website, find your player then look for downloads. Download to USB then xfer to the Samsung. Good luck

Samsung has the User's Manual for the BD-JM57C on the product support page. Look on the right side of the page or scroll down to the Downloads & Manuals section. The link is on the left. You will need to accept the Samsung Terms of Use. The current direct link is http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201501/20150130195859016/02605A_BD_JM57_ZA_0121.pdf . (The ZA suffix means that this manual comes with units sold in the USA.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
