A:AnswerThe answer is that a DVD Player or BluRay player needn't have these applications since all smart TVs available in today's stores come already manufactured with that capability or else one can add something like a $29 ROKU to acquire that capability.

A:AnswerThe 520 won’t support 4K 60FPS. In this case, HDMI connection from the Sony directly to the 4K tv, then tv ARC HDMI or optical cable to the 520 for sound. Good luck!
A:AnswerYes, it plays various audio files on CD, including wave files used on commercial CDs. I tried commercial CDs and they played without any difficulty just like on a dedicated CD player, except there's no screen to display info on what's playing. It should (per the owners manual) play mp3s, .wma, .wav, .ac3, .flac, .m4a, and certain other audio files.
