Does anyone else have problems reading regular DVDs? - Blu-ray Forum

My old Blu-Ray Player was my PS3 which failed completely 1 month out of warranty.

My current player is a Panasonic BD-35.

Both have had issues reading regular DVDs with slight smudges or scratches. My Panasonic HD-DVD player reads the same discs flawlessly.

Is this a common problem because of the type of laser used in Blu-Ray players making it more sensitive to scratches?

To my knowledge bluray mashines read DVD with a red laser and not with the blue one. But I may be wrong here.
