    2023 viewer....With some streamers just killing off content, I did decide to look back at discs and my library of Blu Rays, DVD.s.. This player is now on the way from Amazon. Thanks for the review!

    Fantastic review. The most compelling reason for a 4k UHD Blu-ray player for me is that none of the major streaming devices and services consistently work with 5.1 surround sound across devices. For movies, this is absolutely unacceptable. So after a week of frustration, I decided to abandon streaming for movies and just get a 4k UHD Blu-ray player and physical disc collection. Stumbled across your review and sold! Thanks

    Very thorough. Appreciate the review and I'll probably be getting one soon. I have an xbox one x that I had been using to watch 4k movies (have a lot of them). However, now that the system is older, newer 4k physical media is not playing. Long story short after doing some research it seems it is something about the copyright protection requirements not being updated in the blu ray app from Microsoft.

    I've just already ordered one today (multiregion modded which is even better) The only problem with this player from what I've seen and read is the picture freezing in some 4K discs after a while. But there is a trick to avoid that here on YT. I can't tell the title of the video but you can find it and most commenters seem very happy about that. Although I must say is unnaceptable for a company like Sony not included a darn display in the front. That's ridiculous because they are cheap... unless no display means faster loading, which I seriously doubt. Thanks for the review.

    I got this at a very good 150 euro, gotta say im pretty impressed. The quality jump in both sound and picture compared to both Series X and Ps5 is considerable, which i did not expect considering how cheap this is. I watched the Shining 4k disc hooked to a 77" Lg C1 and it looked glorious, whereas on both consoles i could see more noise in the picture with both noise reduction or on off, the processing on this thing is really really good.

    So I just got this player per your video here, thanks. First ever player for me and I'm waiting on blu ray disc to arrive in two days. In meantime I've been reading the manual and it states that via the player's remote I can adjust tv picture settings, i.e. color, tint, etc. When playing a disc is the player's remote in control of all tv settings? Or, if a blu ray disc is playing can I still use my tv remote to fine tune the picture or will I be forced to use the player's remote? I"m concerned about this because I have worked hard over past year to fine tune my TCL 4k Roku tv and I know its settings well. But I worry I'll have to go through long process of having to adjust best picture settings with another remote, a different language somewhat between picture settings via tv remote and player remote. Any tips? TIA>

It also doesn't have amazon which got terminated wish it had it.. I do like the upscaling so if someone didn't have a 4K television would it still upscale to full screen or near 4K .

    Hi Vickie. Thanks for the kind words. Yes I do agree that the buttons on this remote are a little small and I find myself sometimes pressing the wrong buttons. The upscaling feature to me is a bit gimmicky. I would only recommend it if you have some old DVD's and you want to clear up the picture a bit. Even so , this feature only works so so in my opinion. Where this player shines is picture quality especially on Blu ray and UHD movies.

    hey love your videos man. Just got my sony ubp x700 in the mail last week and tested out for a couple of days. One thing I noticed is that the picture on this blu-ray player looks darker when compared to my ps4 pro when playing standard blu-rays. Ive set the video settings to auto on the blu-ray player and tried tweaking the custom settings to match with the brightness of the ps4 pro. However, Im afraid i would'nt have the most accurate picture or even make the picture worse as Im not a professional in adjusting the contrast/brightness. fyi ive hooked up both of this devices to the same amp (through hdmi hdcp 2.2) that is connected to the tv. I would really appreciate if you could help me with this problem.

    Hi Farees. Thanks for the comment. As for your issue, it’s difficult for me to help without me being there. You have 3 components that can be adjusted. Bluray player , tv and receiver. Are your tv settings the same when you switch inputs from ps4 to bluray? Check that. Otherwise when bluray is playing hit the options button on the remote and go to video settings. Toggle through those to find a brighter setting. Hope this helps.

I tried a 4K UHD dvd and my 4K Bravia only gives 1080. I contacted Sony and spent a good hour + with them trying every possible option and still nothing.

    @@jasonmitchell7550 Hi. Found out the one at Wal Mart is earlier model that doesn't come with HDMI cord, but latest version on Amazon does (the M model). Alas, the Amazon price of $148 was a temporary sale and it's back to $178 as of today. Hoping it'll drop back down by Black Friday period. So, how does your player perform? TIA.

I download a lot of foreign movies and it somes with a subtitles file, i usually use VLC player on my laptop and it worked on my previous TV, Not on my new tv.. Im looking for a dvd player with usb that has this. i really need subtitles to read. Please if you own this dvd player, can you test this and let me know, even show me a snapshot or video would be appreciated and i can buy asap. Regards

    I have just bought this player. I have two questions though, which I hope you could answer, and they are: 1. Would I need a gold-topped HDMI cable to get the full benefit of my new player?; and 2. I have many American blu ray movies which I can play on my current multi-region blu ray player, but I won't be able to play them on my new 4K player, will I? And will I be OK to buy American 4K discs to play, as I believe they are are not confined by region codes.

    Hi Alan. Question 1. As long s the HDMI cable can handle 4K HDR at 60 Hz your good to go with this player. Gold tipped or whatever doesn't matter. Question 2. If you purchased the player from outside North America, you will not be able to play NA DVD or Blu Ray in the player. I have seen some hacks to make the player region free but I have not tried that. (perhaps I will for a future video). Yes it will play all Ultra 4K discs as they are all region free. As it should have been from the start. Cheers.

    This machine is tiny and does not look anything special, however it’s performance is excellent for £200. I’ve loved watching the 4K bluRays of Ghostbusters 1, Revenant, Grease 1 and of course at 60 frames per second Gemini Man. I’ve also used DVD’s and series 15 onwards of Family Guy look great on my 4K Sony TV. I have not tried the Sony for 3d as I use a Denon 3d player with a Sony projector just for 3d - but I’ve given up saying how good this is as most people’s experience is via TV (too small) or cinema (projection light not bright enough).

    Piece of JUNK. I own this player and yes it works okay for regular Blue Ray discs, but try and play a 4K movie, which is the reason I bought it.. Black screen of death. Player does not have on screen error correction solutions, so you sit in the dark with the black screen. Tried all the poor directions in the trouble shooting Guide, (which is a poorly written document), nothing works. The player is connected to a new Sony Receiver, now I have to start with the Receiver instructions that are blind to the fact that I might have another piece of Sony equipment attached. The days of buying from a single manufacturer hoping the pieces will connect flawlessly are over. Called Sony Customer Service got disconnected twice. Finally got through, spend 20 plus minutes on the phone with an agent, that provided a solution that did not work. Not a happy camper.
