Can RV DVD Players Also Play Blue Ray Discs

Question:
The DVD player does not work and I want to replace it. The various Am/Fm CD, DVD players look good but none specify that they will play Blu-Ray DVDs. most DVDs on the market are Blu- Ray. Does Jensen make such a player that it will play BLU- Ray?

Expert Reply:
DVD and Blue Ray video disc players do use different processing for the data they read from the disc. DVDs have much less overall data than Blue Ray discs. You can play a DVD on a Blue Ray player but you cannot play a Blue Ray disc on a player made only to show DVDs. In the same way a DVD player can play a music CD, but a CD player cannot play a DVD. Video technology usually has this backwards-compatibility.
For instance, Jensen DVD player # DVDB01M can play DVDs, CDs and other lower-data-size disc formats but not Blue Ray discs.
