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.
