Can't play bluray disc i can play regular dvd's

A regular DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay will not play on a regular DVD player. There are DVD/BluRay Combos available in both the DVD and the Player. You will need one of the correct combinations to play the DVD in question

Bluray uses a different laser than dvd/cd playback. You will need to have the deck replaced. Hope it's still under warranty.

Every blu ray or dvd player sold in the world comes as standard unlocked to play any disc from any region. On the fifth play of a disc the DVD or Bluray will become locked to that region. So if you play 5 USA dvd's on the player after the fifth disc has been played only US dvd's will be recognised by the player, Same applies to BLUrays. So if i were you i would be careful about what discs you are putting in the player. Otherwise you will be left with a bluray player that cannot be used in Australia. After that happens the only way to play other region discs would be to get the player unlocked. Another point to add , a blueray player has two lasers one to play bluray and another to play DVD's. Lasers can fail so you could be able to play DVD's but not Bluray or vice versa depending on which laser has failed.

If the disc that you bought is a bluray disc it will not play on a standard DVD player. But if you ended up with the regular one it should work unless there is a glitch in the disc, if that is the case return the disc.

Not sure what you are playing it on. A BLURAY disc needs a BluRay compatible disc player, PS3 has one built in. Most PC DVD drives dont play BluRay as standard. Normal HOME DVD players of course cant play them either.

Hello,

Just need to verify if your trying to play a Bluray Disc or regular DVD?

If Bluray Disc:
All you need to do is to check on the FW version of you BD player. Go to Set-up > System > System Information. SW will be the FW version info. Please be informed that the latest FW version is v2.12. If it will not resolved the concern, try to verify if its happening to all of your Bluray Disc.

Sincerely yours,

It's quite likely due to a weak Blu Ray laser. The DVD and BluRay are 2 different lasers so it could still be able to read and play DVD/CD but not the BluRay games.

I have had this problem a few times myself with clients players. A power down usually helps but only temporarily.
Check your firmware version and available product upgrade here: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/blu-ray/blu-ray-players/BD-P1600/XAA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

your bluray laser has a 2mode light one at 450nm and the other at 720nm wavelengths. the 450nm pulse is not working therfore no bluray disc or game can be read. very common. change the laser with sony for 150+tax or i can fix it for 100

the Durabrand model dvd-1002 is not a blu-ray dvd player. It can only read the regular non-bluray discs.
