  • QuestionI have connected it to my monitor, how do I make sure I can hear what it is playing through my Bluetooth headphones? I do not have it set up with a lan cable, do I need to?

    Asked by Para.

    • Answer Hi Para, Thank you for your question! In order to hear audio through your Bluetooth headphones, you will need to connect them directly to your monitor rather than the Blu-ray player. The BDPS1700U does not feature built-in Bluetooth; it passes all audio to the monitor via the HDMI cable. As for the LAN cable, it is not required for playing discs or routing audio. It is only necessary if you need to perform a system software update. We hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, Dominick

  • QuestionCan this Blu ray play region free Blu rays?

    Asked by Lou.

    • Answer Hello Lou, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry and are happy to assist. The Sony BDPS1700U Blu-ray player is not region-free or multi-region. It is designed to play Blu-ray and DVD discs that are labeled with the compatible region code. Each unit has a region code printed on its back, limiting playback to discs with the same region code. This means that if a Blu-ray or DVD is from a different region, the player won't be able to play it. For more comprehensive information about region codes for Blu-ray discs, please refer to the following article: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00029369. It's important to note that Sony doesn't manufacture or sell region-free or multi-region players. Any modifications made to enable such capabilities could void the warranty. Best regards, -Fred

  • QuestionHow easy is this unit to adapt to a Logitech Harmony 665 remote? How does one program this unit to the remote?

    Asked by Guy.

    • Answer Hi Guy, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Sony BDP-S1700U. When it comes to using this Blu-ray player with a universal remote like the Logitech Harmony 665, the setup process typically involves following the specific instructions and using the established device codes provided by Logitech in their user manual or through their programming software. While Sony devices often share standard infrared command sets, we must note that full functionality and compatibility are not guaranteed when using third-party universal remotes. We suggest consulting the documentation provided with your Harmony 665 or contacting Logitech support to ensure they have the specific profile for this model in their database. Thank you for considering Sony! Regards, Dominick

  • QuestionIs this a region free dvd player?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Sony BDP-S1700U. This model is not a region-free player, as Sony Blu-ray and DVD players are manufactured to align with specific regional coding standards. For units purchased in the United States and Canada, the player is designed to support Region A Blu-ray discs and Region 1 DVDs. These designations ensure that the hardware remains compatible with the licensed content distributed within those geographical zones. We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony! Best regards, Dominick

  • QuestionCan you play dvd from other regions? For example the uk

    Asked by AdamA.

    • Answer Hi AdamA, Standard Sony Blu-ray players sold in the United States, including the BDP-S1700U, are coded for Region 1 (North America) DVDs and Region A Blu-rays. Because the UK uses Region 2 for DVDs and Region B for Blu-rays, these discs will not be compatible with a standard US model. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
