OLD SCHOOL FIX
MamaLama Posted
We have been having issues of buffering & sudden dropping of the downloaded viedos we have been trying to watch. Clearly internet issues, that Xfin can't seem to remedy. So, went old school & bought a Blu-ray for our DVD collection. Forgot how much better the quality is with the right equipment. My husband is ill, so it was important to find an acceptable solution. This is it.

Excellent BluRay / DVD player.
TheRoots Posted
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.

Great product for a great price
Seth Posted
This is a fantastic starter blu ray player for a very reasonable price! It works great, I got it refurbished and it works and looks like it’s brand new. The online ordering and pickup process made it super easy to get in and out with exactly what I was looking for. I’ve recently gotten into collecting physical media so this is a great way to be able to watch them and continue to grow my film collection. Highly recommend this player

Versatile Blue-Ray, DVD and CD player
PamelaP Posted
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.

Wasn’t the one I wanted but…
rli123 Posted
This is not the DVD player I wanted. I wanted to buy a Samsung because it matches my TV and other things that I have. Sorry I bought the Sony. And it’s working just fine. I’m not having trouble with it. I haven’t used it a lot yet, but call me when I have it worked about this one.

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.

Sony Blu ray/DVD upscaler player
CarltonC Posted
Two weeks into using it,it stopped working. I received a replacement and it to stopped working. Both would not eject,the power would not turn off. I tried and tried physically and using the remote and both of them would not work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens

Hi CarltonC,
We’re sorry to hear about the repeated issues with your player. This lock-up can sometimes be resolved by performing a power reset: unplug the power cord for two minutes, then hold the Power button on the unit while plugging it back in to force a hardware reboot. If the tray remains stuck and the unit is unresponsive, it may indicate a specific power compatibility issue, and we encourage you to contact our support team so we can investigate this further for you: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Small, simple to operate and performs.
Lafish Posted
We wanted a small Blu-ray player to replace an older Sony that had stopped working after many years. This one looks almost identical to the older model, with a couple of different features, and like that one is supremely easy to use. We use it in a dedicated room where we listen to music and watch TV, and I like that it's unobtrusive and fits in a space in my hi-fi rack that almost looks like it was made for it. I would like a couple more buttons on the unit, so that you wouldn't have to do everything with the remote, but that's not a big deal. The price is right, the size is right, and the performance is right.

Thanks for choosing Sony.

While we do stream movies frequently, we have hundreds of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs that we enjoy. When our old unit died, we immediately went online to Best Buy. This Sony player is compact and operates perfectly, the picture is great and the functions are quite impressive. We highly recommend this item.

Compact but capable.
Daniel Posted
Produces a great picture even from older regular DVDs as well as Blu-ray discs, and will also play music CDs. It takes a couple of seconds to respond to commands from the remote control, but that is not a problem. It has a digital coaxial audio output so is compatible with most modern audio equipment, or add an inexpensive converter if necessary. I use it to watch DVD and Blu-ray movies from my good-sized collection.
