Great picture!
We purchased a new 4K TV and needed to upgrade our DVD player. It was easy to hook up and effortless to play. Movies look fantastic. Highly recommend.

I don't think it works correctly.
My player does not display a menu when I do not have a disk in, and then it only displays the disk's menu. Additionally, a movie that I watched has skipped and stopped working correctly. I think my system is faulty.

    Playback freezes
    I bought this at the end of December 2021. I've seen four movies and each one froze. The discs were all brand new out of the package. Sony is replacing the player but so far there's been no communication on where we are in the process.

    New 4K Blu-ray for 2022.
    Needing a new Blu-ray player, decided to purchase the Sony X700 model after much research. It has exceeded our expectations, delivering high quality picture & sound. It enhances our DVD collection, adding visual and audio definition to each disc. When playing a 4K blu-ray with Dolby ATMOS & Dolby VISION, it's like your in the movie. Awesome player @ an affordable price. I recommend this SONY high quality product.

    Sony Ultra HD Blu-ray DVD Player
    WOW! Immediately saw the vibrant colors! Using it is a little different from our other dvd player but no big deal. Can't wait to get my new surround sound or have it hooked up to cable television and on a newer model television, when we move. On our dvd player we had to put volume up to 60s, 70s to have theater sound. We have the volume in the 30s and it is loud! Sound is amazing.

    Good November 2021 Pricing.
    Unit is highly rated by tech websites. YEA! The only way you can get the full potential of this unit is to have a "4K" Television AND the Blu-Ray movie must also be "4K" format. Otherwise you are getting standard imaging on TV, not enhanced. Still will play all DVD's. It was advertised on line. I put it in my Cart. It warned me Sale Price was only lasting a few hours more. I bought it. The next day the price was the same with a new limited time period pricing. Weeks later price still the same. Deceptive Pricing. The unit includes NO installation cables. Hopefully, you are replacing an existing unit and can reuse its cables. The Protection plan is reasonable pricing, and says it is for 2 years, but the unit has a 1 year Warranty, so you are ONLY getting 1 additional year of protection, NOT two.

    So Far So Good!
    I was happy to get this 4K Blu-Ray player to replace my old unit. The setup wasn't totally intuitive, but doable. A few people complained about having no LED display on the front of the unit, but simply pushing "Display" on the remote gives disc chapter #, etc. Pushing it again removes the info. I wish there were options on the display for not only elapsed time, but also time remaining, chapter time, etc. My only gripe with the new Blu-Ray player was that it did not have "bookmarking" capabilities. I called Sony about this, and they confirmed. PLEASE Sony, do a FIRMWARE UPDATE adding "bookmarking" so we don't have to laboriously figure out where we stopped the movie. I know pause works, but if the movies stops and you want to resume the next day, you're out of luck. I also tried playing MP3 music and viewing photos, and these options were satisfactory. The Blu-Ray movies had excellent audio/video, so no complaints there. All in all, I am glad I bought this unit, and I would recommend it to friends.

    Trouble Recognizing Disc in Tray
    I purchased this to replace the same model I bought three years ago that kept freezing. This one hasn't frozen yet but it has trouble recognizing there is a disc in the tray. When it doesn't recognize the disc in the tray you can't use any of the apps. The old unit did the same thing.

    One and a half movies
    The blu-ray player worked fine for a movie and a half. Then it died. The image froze and it stopped responding to the remote. And the return process through walmart.com has been a nightmare.

    Does not recognize disc, don't buy
    I have watched exactly 1 and a half movies with this new 4k player (discs were brand new out of the package, 4k discs). The same disc that worked yesterday, is now giving a "no disc" code or possible "unfinished disc" problem. After googling, it seems this is a common problem and I'm pretty sure the return window has passed. Don't bother, get a better brand than this Sony.

    Great video, very little apps
    great Great video out, Currently has very few apps, if it had a good selection of apps it could out sell Roku. Would like to see an audio leveling feature in audio section

    New BluRay Very Good
    I replace my old blu ray because discs would stop in middle of movies plus the remote would not change volume. So it was time for a new blu-ray dvd and I chose this one with 4k too. It has been playing dvds and blurays with no problem.

    Good Buy
    It's compact and it works. Looks nice. I'm not an expert on electronics; I bought it on the recommendation of my son-in-law. He is our tech guy and said it is a very good buy. So far, we are pleased with its performance.

    I love this excellent blu ray player
    If you are thinking about buying this 4K ultra HD blu ray player, don't hesitate any longer. Go for it! This is the best blu ray player I have ever bought. It does everything well, is fast and responsive, and the picture quality is absolutely incredible! I support Dolby Atmos audio so I get sound that is accurate and loud and clear. It makes movie watching so immersive. I watched Black Panther in 4K UHD it was as close to being in the movie theater as possible. The picture on my HDR tv was arguably better that what I experienced in theaters. Anyway, five stars! No complaints. Go for it!

    Sony has features the others dont.
    This is a present to myself and Im glad i did. Have always appreciated Sony's design and build and it doesn't disappoint. Hey Sony!. Update your USB external drive config so it can read from multiple partitions. The only shortcoming that I can recognize that should be on a new optical drive. Otherwise exceptional.

    Its why I like Sony.
    You don't appreciate good design until you have used other brands. I have always held Sony in high regard, but have bought other designs for savings. Savings arent the only criteria that a consumer should consider. How it performs and the little additions like a remote that surprisingly controls volume not only on a the TV but also a soundbar. Showing the bit rate may be too much for some but it shows how pristine the video you are watching is. Easy to use and enhances videos through two custom settings to quickly enhance those older dvd's that need a lil assistance. All in all i'm back to choosing Sony first again.

    Love the APPS and features
    I bought this 18 March 2021 and I don't regret it. The quality of picture and equipment is very good. it can be a little slow reacting to commands but doesn't lockup like some electronics. It was quite easy to setup.

    Good Player
    When I decided to get this player, I had heard about issues such as freezing up, skipping, and screen blackouts. The day I purchased this unit, I did experience the 1-2 second screen blackouts and was concerned that I was going to have to exchange it. I checked the settings to make sure it had the latest software update, which it did, so I decided to do a factory reset and ever since, the blackout issue has disappeared...whew! I have played a number of Blu-Rays and DVD's (some I own and some rented) with no issues. I have yet to play a 4K disc (can't wait) so I'm hoping there will be no issues there either. The up conversion of the Blu-Ray and even regular DVD discs on this player is very good. I was concerned that DVD's might not look so good but they in fact do. It also passes all the current audio codecs, Dolby Atmos, DD+, DTS-X, etc. with ease through my Denon AVR. The one thing I wish this player had, which my older SONY Blu-Ray player has, is the remaining time. I'll explain. The X700 shows the length of the movie and how much of it has played. My older SONY shows how much time the movie has played and next to it, the time remaining in the movie and I liked that feature. It was quite handy at times. I use the older remote because one, it's larger and two, it has a 10 second rewind button and 15 second advance button that the X700 remote does not have. It would be nice if it was possible to add the remaining movie time in the display with a software update but that probably won't happen. I have all the equipment I need for 4K disc playback and I'm looking forward to the experience. Overall, I really like this unit.

    Good looking, compact unit
    I was given this player for Christmas 2018. It works well, looks good, sounds good, fits well under my TiVO and on top of my stand, and is super simple to hook up. The only thing I'm bummed about is the volume control on the remote does not work.
