    This is a fantastic starter blu ray player for a very reasonable price! It works great, I got it refurbished and it works and looks like it’s brand new. The online ordering and pickup process made it super easy to get in and out with exactly what I was looking for. I’ve recently gotten into collecting physical media so this is a great way to be able to watch them and continue to grow my film collection. Highly recommend this player

    I finally had to replace my old Sony BluRay player. I do not have a 4K TV, so this model was in the perfect price point for me. I selected this model also because it has the audio connection options I needed to connect it to my home theater system. It works great and the sound and video quality are great. It is easy for my spouse and kids to operate as well. An excellent value and I would highly recommend this brand and model.

    I bought the little Sony 1700U Blue-Ray player to replace my 2014 Toshiba dvd/vcr player. The small size stacks easily above the cable receiver. Easy setup with accompanying HDMI cable. I like that I can pop in a music CD without having to load the multi disc player and the sound is great. So far the dvd playback is crisp and clear.

    This is not the DVD player I wanted. I wanted to buy a Samsung because it matches my TV and other things that I have. Sorry I bought the Sony. And it’s working just fine. I’m not having trouble with it. I haven’t used it a lot yet, but call me when I have it worked about this one.

      Hi CarltonC,

      We’re sorry to hear about the repeated issues with your player. This lock-up can sometimes be resolved by performing a power reset: unplug the power cord for two minutes, then hold the Power button on the unit while plugging it back in to force a hardware reboot. If the tray remains stuck and the unit is unresponsive, it may indicate a specific power compatibility issue, and we encourage you to contact our support team so we can investigate this further for you: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US

    This is the best Blu-ray / DVD player at this price point. Includes Remote and 6 foot HDMI cable which other players at this price point do not include. Does not include WI-FI connectivity which I don't use so that is ok for me. Easy hook up. Size is much smaller than the Blu-ray I replaced and compact size fits easy on shelf.
