Will a Blu-ray DVD player play on an old tv set?

Most Blueray players have an analog output that delivers standard definition signals. If a high definition disc is played, the output will normally provide an SD version of the content. Using the analog output means that it is possible to use Blueray players on SD televisions. When an HD television is installed, the HDMI port can be used to obtain HD video.

Before purchasing a Blueray player, check that it has an analog output and that it provides a down converted signal of HD material on the analog ports.
