Possibly silly question: Blu-ray / VHS combo player?

Kristine A

Our DVD/VHS combo player died a few weeks ago. I had one in my work studio and we've been using that, figuring one of these weekends we'd go out shopping for a replacement, presumably one that would be able to play the new Blu-Ray format since sooner or later some video rental we're interested in will only be available on Blu-Ray. (Or one Blu-Ray versus multiple DVD disks, etc).

I took it for granted that the optical Blu-Ray mechanism would be backwards-compatible with standard commercial and home-burned DVD from the 4 gig thru dual-layer 7.x gig varities. That seems to be the case from what I've glimpsed.

Without thinking about it, I also assumed that for an additional extra bit of currency there'd be no problem finding players that did VHS as well as Blu-Ray/DVD. Not seeing that. Hmm.... am I just looking in the wrong places, or looking too early in the life-cycle of Blu-Ray for such devices to have cropped up on the market? (I can readily imagine that early adopters of Blu-Ray would not be the folks with continuing interest in being able to play back VHS tapes as well)

Answer
Panasonic DMP-BD70V VHS/Blu-ray Player. However, it appears to be out of production. One place I found by using the Shopping function on Google has it for $600.

If you have the inputs on your TV and/or home theater receiver, I would just get a good BluRay player on it's own, and buy a used but built tough VHS deck from, say, eBay. That would probably run you about $100 for the BluRay and maybe $200 for a solid VHS deck.

Why isn't my Blu-Ray Player working?

Veronica

I have a Sony Blu-Ray player and my TV is a Samsung. When I plug it in it's fine and when I play a DVD everything is fine. But when I put in a blu-ray disc, there's something like static on the TV screen.

Answer
First thing to try is what is called a firmware update. A unique aspect of Blu Ray players is that they require downloaded updates - which is why they have an Internet connection (older players required you to download data on the computer, burn it to disc, and insert the disc into the player). If yours is an older unit without Internet, this may be what you need to do. If in doubt, check the player owner's manual if you have it, or do a Google search for it using the player model followed by "owners manual".

Other possibility is indeed a failure of the player. Brands are cross compatible, so this is indeed an issue with the player. Do the update first, then replace the player if that does not fix the problem.
