Q: Does it play 4k ultra disc and dvd
A: Hi there, thanks for asking! The BDPS1700U does not support playback of 4K Ultra HD (UHD) Blu-ray discs. This model is a standard Blu-ray player, which means: It can play standard Blu-ray discs, regular DVDs, and CDs. It does not support the newer Ultra HD Blu-ray (4K UHD) disc format, which requires a specific UHD-compatible drive and decoding hardware. Some Sony models in higher series (like the BDP-S6500 and BDP-S6700) can upscale standard Blu-ray and DVD content to near-4K resolution when connected to a 4K TV, but they also do not support actual 4K UHD disc playback. The BDP-S1700U is designed to play DVDs and Blu-ray discs; however, it will not recognize or play 4K Ultra HD discs. This model is capable of upscaling standard definition DVDs to near HD resolution and can play Blu-ray movies in Full High Definition quality. If 4K playback is a requirement for you, you might consider the following models: - UBP-X700 - UBP-X800 - UBP-X800M2 - UBP-X1000ES These models are equipped to play UHD Blu-ray discs and output native 4K video. It is important to note that earlier models, such as the BDPS6700, are labeled as "4K upscaling models" and cannot play UHD discs, similar to the BDPS1700U, which can upscale to HD but does not support 4K playback. We hope you find this information helpful.

Q: Does this DVD player work with just the hdmi cable? Or do you need to hook up the audio cable?
A: Hi Elaine, Yes, the Sony BDP-S1700U Blu-ray player can be used with just the HDMI cable alone. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) standard is designed to transmit both high-quality digital video and multi-channel digital audio through a single cable. As long as you connect the HDMI cable from the player to an HDMI input on your TV (or sound system), you do not need to connect a separate audio cable. The sound will be carried over the HDMI cable along with the picture. Thank you for considering Sony products! Regards, Dominick
Q: Will this play all region dvds?
A: No, this player only plays DVDs from region one.

A: Hi Elaine, The Sony BDPS1700U is designed to play standard music CDs; you simply load the disc into the tray just like a Blu-ray or DVD. To get the audio and video signal from the player to your TV or sound system, you must use a cable: the included HDMI cable connects the player to your TV for both picture and high-quality sound. However, please note that the BDP-S1700U does not have built-in Bluetooth for wirelessly connecting to headphones or speakers. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

I bought the little Sony 1700U Blue-Ray player to replace my 2014 Toshiba dvd/vcr player. The small size stacks easily above the cable receiver. Easy setup with accompanying HDMI cable. I like that I can pop in a music CD without having to load the multi disc player and the sound is great. So far the dvd playback is crisp and clear.

We were happy to make this purchase, as we initially had a hard time finding a Blu-ray player with a physical connection. The player works great.

I finally had to replace my old Sony BluRay player. I do not have a 4K TV, so this model was in the perfect price point for me. I selected this model also because it has the audio connection options I needed to connect it to my home theater system. It works great and the sound and video quality are great. It is easy for my spouse and kids to operate as well. An excellent value and I would highly recommend this brand and model.
