  • QuestionDoes it play 4k ultra disc and dvd

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer 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!

  • QuestionHow do you make it play music CDs? Does it need any cables to do that? Also is this compatible with Bluetooth?

    Asked by Elaine.

    • Answer 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

  • QuestionDoes this DVD player work with just the hdmi cable? Or do you need to hook up the audio cable?

    Asked by Elaine.

    • Answer 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

  • Questiondoes it play CDs gapless

    Asked by larry.

    • Answer Hi Larry, Thank you for question! Yes, the Sony BDP-S1700U does support gapless CD playback. However, to ensure a consistently smooth performance without interruptions between tracks, it's essential that the CDs you play are in good condition. This means they should be clean, free of dirt, fingerprints, deep scratches, or other damage. Any physical flaw on the disc can cause the player to briefly hesitate or buffer while reading, which can interrupt the seamless, gapless transition between songs. We appreciate you considering Sony! Regards, Dominick

  • QuestionIs the remote RF and TX?

    Asked by Jeff.

    • Answer Hi Jeff, thanks for your interest in our Blu-ray Player. We can definitely assist with that! For the BDP-S1700U, the remote is a traditional IR (Infrared) type, not RF. What that means for you is that you'll need to have a clear line of sight between the remote and the Blu-ray player for it to register your button presses. You can find more information about the unit in the manual at the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5043/9bf387fdef45845189a891b85b87783b/50433041M.pdf Thanks for considering Sony products!
