  • QuestionWhat's the difference between this and UBPX700/M?

    Asked by UncleCasey.

    • Answer Hi UncleCasey, That is an excellent question! The difference between the UBP-X700U and the UBP-X700/M is simply the date they became available in the market; otherwise, you can expect identical core performance and features from both models. The UBP-X700/M became available on 4/21/2021, and the UBP-X700U is the most recent version, becoming available on 6/16/2025. We hope this answers your question and thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Dominick

  • QuestionDoes this unit show how far along in a movie you are? I.e. it there a visible counter showing elapsed time? I used to have a Blu-Ray player without one and could never tell how far into the movie I was, and more importantly, how much longer it had to run.

    Asked by Malik.

    • Answer Thank you for contacting Sony, Malik. We are happy to confirm that the UBP-X700/U Blu-ray player does provide a visible counter showing both the elapsed time and the remaining time of the movie! When a disc is playing, you can press the DISPLAY button on your remote control, and the player will bring up an on-screen display (OSD) showing key information. This ensures you always know how far into the movie you are and how much time you have left. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.

  • QuestionWhich regions are preset for Blu-ray and DVD? Region free?

    Asked by ntgriz.

    • Answer Thank you for contacting Sony. The UBP-X700/U is preset to play Blu-ray Discs coded for Region A. Region A includes North America, South America, U.S. Territories, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia. The player is preset for DVD Region 1, which covers the United States, Canada, and U.S. territories. The UBP-X700/U is NOT region-free for either Blu-ray or DVD playback. It will only play discs that match the region code printed on the back of the unit (Region A for Blu-ray, Region 1 for DVD). Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs are region-free by design, so the UBP-X700/U can play 4K UHD Blu-ray discs from any region. Sony does not manufacture or sell region-free or multi-region Blu-ray/DVD players. Any UBP-X700/U unit advertised as "region-free" has been modified by a third party, and such modifications are not supported or covered by Sony’s warranty. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.

  • QuestionWith only a power and eject button, am I up the creek without a paddle if I lost the remote? It seems my TV does not control this via HDMI. Was it really too hard or prohibitively expensive to slap a play button on the face?

    Asked by Sibble.

    • Answer Hi Sibble, The Sony UBP-X700U Ultra HD Blu-ray Player is officially designed with only Power and Eject buttons on the unit itself, confirming that dedicated playback controls like Play or Pause are not physically on the face of the player. If the remote is lost, full operation of the player, including starting playback and accessing menus, requires the remote control (RMT-VB201U). The only manufacturer-provided alternative control method besides the remote is the BRAVIA Sync (HDMI-CEC) feature, which, when properly set up and connected to a compatible TV, is intended to allow the TV's remote to govern the basic functions and playback controls of the player. Thanks for considering Sony products. Best regards, Eliab

  • QuestionWhat would one use the audio out only HDMI for? Playing music CD's without the need to have the television on??

    Asked by allie.

    • Answer Hi Allie, That's a great question! The HDMI out (Audio only) port on the Sony - UBPX700U is designed to send audio directly to an audio device such as a soundbar, AV receiver, or other home theater systems that support HDMI IN connections. This allows you to get the best possible sound quality without having to route the signal through your TV. While you could technically play a music CD without the TV on, the main purpose of this output is to connect to an audio system so you can enjoy high-quality sound independently of the video signal. We hope this answers your question, and thank you for considering Sony products! Best regards, Dominick

  • QuestionMy Sony UBPX700U 2025 model on occasion keeps freezing up when using. Done it a few times while watching a movie then thinking it was a faulty disc. But then it seems to do it now while viewing a different movie. Never had issues with previous 4k player.

    Asked by ASTrazor64.

    • Answer Hello ASTrazor64, Thank you for considering Sony products! We are truly sorry to hear that your UBPX700U is freezing during your movies. We completely understand how frustrating it is to have your cinematic experience interrupted, especially when you’ve had a seamless experience with your previous 4K player. To get your player back to peak performance, we recommend following the steps below: Perform a Power Reset: Unplug the power cord of the Blu-ray Disc player from the electrical outlet. Wait: Let the player remain without power for one minute. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet. Turn on the Blu-ray Disc player and test a disc. Factory Reset: If the freezing persists, a factory reset can resolve deeper configuration issues. We have provided the specific steps for your model here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00089497 We are committed to resolving this issue for you. Should the problem continue, we recommend contacting our dedicated support team for further assistance.
