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. If you require further assistance, please feel free to email us at [email protected], providing the following information: - Name - Username - Model Number - Description of the Issue - Telephone Number We appreciate your interest in Sony players!

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
A: Hi Dee65, Yes, the Sony BDP-S1700U is a special bundle that includes a high-speed HDMI cable in the box to ensure you have everything needed for an immediate setup. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Q: Will this play all region dvds?
A: No, this player only plays DVDs from region one.
Q: Is this a region free blu ray player? I need to play a blu ray from out of America.
A: Hi FlavorDave, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Sony BDP-S1700U! This specific model is not region-free. It is manufactured as a Region A device, which is the standard for North America, South America, and parts of East and Southeast Asia. While some users look for "multi-region" capabilities, please note that Sony does not officially manufacture or support region-free Blu-ray players. The hardware is designed to adhere to international regional coding standards. We hope this clears things up, and thank you for considering Sony! Regards, Dominick
A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out with your questions regarding the Sony BDP-S1700U. This model does include an Ethernet port for a wired internet connection, but this is primarily intended for system software updates and BD-Live features rather than a full suite of applications. While the unit does not support modern streaming services like Disney Plus, Hulu, or Netflix, it does come equipped with a front-facing USB input. This port allows you to easily connect a USB stick to play back your personal photos, music, and video files directly on your television. If you are looking for a device that offers comprehensive internet connectivity and built-in streaming apps alongside a USB input, you may want to explore the Sony UBP-X800M2. This model is a significant step up, as it features integrated Wi-Fi and full support for high-definition streaming services, making it a much more versatile choice for a modern home theater setup. Thank you for considering Sony! Regards, Dominick
Q: Does this player include the latest apps such as Disney plus Netflix Hulu you tube,etc.?
A: Thank you for contacting Sony. The BDP-S1700U is designed primarily for high-quality disc playback. While it does have a wired network connection, it is intended for software updates and BD-Live™ services rather than a full suite of streaming apps like Disney+, Netflix, or Hulu. If you are looking for a player with integrated streaming apps and Wi-Fi, we’d recommend checking out our UBP-X700 or UBP-X800M2 models, which are better suited for a "smart" home theater experience!

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

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.
