Yes, portable Blu-ray players can play DVDs. In addition to playing Blu-ray discs, these devices are also equipped with DVD playback capabilities. This means that you can enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows in high definition or standard definition, depending on the disc format. There are a few things to keep in mind when using a portable Blu-ray player to watch DVDs, such as:
The picture quality of a DVD will not be as good as it would be if you were watching it on a Blu-ray disc. This is because DVDs are lower resolution than Blu-rays.
Some portable Blu-ray players may not be able to play certain types of DVDs, such as those that are copy protected.
Portable Blu-ray players typically come with built-in speakers, but you may want to connect external speakers for better sound quality.
