Yes. Blu-ray Players will only operate with a standard definition television using the analog outputs on the player. The outputs are standard definition of course, so the HD quality of the BluRay disc won't be seen.
No. All current 3D disc content is HD and so use Bluray discs. You have to have a 3D Bluray player.
Could be nothing more than the Bluray DVD's that you're watching aren't encoded in 5.1 surround.
Beacaus bluray is newer and they think everybody has a bluray player... eventually it will come on dvd.
A DVD player is a better decision than a BluRay player based on price alone. This type of player is cheaper. A BluRay player may be a better idea because it can also play DVDs and has more advanced features.
No. You need a BluRay player that specifically says it can read 3-D disks
Any television will work with a Bluray player but to get the full quality of the Bluray format, you will need an HD television with an HDMI input. Televisions that do not have an HMDI input can use the analog output from the player but the signal will be SD rather than HD.
That is not possible since HD-players use HDMI for connecting to the television. It wouldn't be very useful to connect HD-players to SDTV's, because that way the player has no advantage over a standard DVD player.
A DVD player cannot play a BluRay disc. A BluRay player can play both BluRay discs and DVDs.
If you already have a Netflix account, you just need to enter your account information on the BluRay player's Netflix menu. If you don't have an account already, you will need to set one up on your computer so that you can get the account information that the BluRay player needs.
The TV will specify if it is a passive or active shutter.
No
No. DVD quality will be displayed whether the player is a DVD player or a Bluray player. DVDs won't be the same quality as a Bluray disc of course.
