      Hi JPjr,

      We’re glad you decided to invest in the BDP-S1700U! It’s great to hear that the superior build quality and reliable playback for both Blu-rays and DVDs made the extra cost worthwhile compared to cheaper alternatives. With its 1080p upscaling and TRILUMINOS color, your entire collection should look much better than on a standard player. Thanks for choosing Sony.
