Quality picture, Very basic DVD player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this is my second dvd player. coming from an older version that was made in 2015 this home screen is pretty basic. the old one had apps so can use like netflix or youtube so the home screen looks inviting. this dvd player home screen it just black with just the option to start the movie or load the usb drive, so i can understand when people say they connot see the main menu. when I put in a dvd the old 2015 version will tell me it's analyzing it dvd, please wait and ready to start. this version doesn't give any warning so i pretty much pray if the movie works (lol) so if there's a situation when a movie disc can't work idk if it's because the dvd itself or the dvd player. For some reason on the home screen after it reads a disc some of my movie shows a yellow picture option to start playing, others blue. idk what that means I hope some of my movies are not bootlegs (I did buy some off of Ebay lol). maybe it's supposed to be a fun feature this system offers... but yeah, I don't understand that. this one is probably a positive feature for you, but to me it's annoying. it has so many buttons to rewind or fast forward. There's the basic one to go to the next scene or back, one to rewind or fast forward slowly, then a 15 second option to go back and forth. who needs a 15 second count. it's annoying when I watch a movie at night and can't see the remote. if you have any extra remotes to a previous Sony DVD player like me, it will work on this as well, so I tend to switch the remote since the old remote is very basic and easy to use, Ending with positive feedback, the picture quality is amazing, it's like I'm watching the same movie for the first time again. This is what makes the price worth it. I would recommend this for people who want very a basic dvd player

Posted .Hi Burnt,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Sony BDP-S1700U. We appreciate you taking the time to provide such a comprehensive review.
We're happy to hear that you are enjoying the amazing picture quality and that the player is making your movies feel brand new again. We designed the unit to offer a simple and streamlined experience for playing Blu-ray and DVD discs, and we appreciate your point about the home screen's minimal design. Regarding the on-screen messages and the different colors of the play icons, these are often related to the disc type or content and are not an indication of a bootleg.
We value your insights on the remote and the app functionality, and we will certainly pass this feedback along to our product development team for future consideration.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Gets the job done!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There isn't anything fancy about this device. It plays movies with ease. I needed something simple and straight forward and this works beautifully. The only reason I didn't give it stars is because it can be a little loud at start up; otherwise it's great!

Best Blu-ray / DVD player at this price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great little entry-level Sony Player. No complaint
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This player is amazing, considering it's small price tag. Super easy to connect, with little-to-no setup. Integrates beautifully with my Samsung 4K HDTV and Sony soundbar. Had to get it at Best Buy due to financial problems & my BB card had more than enough credit left on it to purchase. They only had two players to choose from. So glad I got this one.

Seems to work as it should
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad device just very basic. It lays Blue Ray discs well and the look good on the 4K TV so that is fine. The devices doesn't have any bells and whistles it is simply a player that plays discs. It is good for my need to play the disc in my collection when needed. Most things these days are streamed which give more content but I'm not going to pay extra to convert all my DVD and Blue Ray disc for streaming so this is fine for those disc that where an older technology! My other player stopped working so I needed something to replace it and this was it and it works. I would recommend this product if you are in need of something simple to play your disc collection, it works as I said!

Excellent Sony Blu-ray As Expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Sony Blu-ray player on an impulse as I am a Bestbuy Total member and got a discount special pricing. I love Sony products, especially Sony DVD players, TVs, and Blu-ray players. I own many and all are outstanding and this model is no exception. Infact my Sony XBR TV that i bought in 2008 at Bestbuy has a superior picture to my friends Samsung bought in 2018...i kid you not. This Sony Blu-ray has a small footprint which is exactly what i wanted. It also comes with a HDMI cable included free. It has all the latest digital processing including upscale of DVDs. Sony on screen menus are the best and easiest to navigate.

Great simple to use Blu-ray player.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great no frills Blu-ray player. Simple to use and doesn't have all the stuff you don't need/want (e.g., no apps/bloat ware, etc. ...). Paired with a Samsung Smart TV, you turn on the Blu-ray, the TV automatically switches inputs, and when you turn it off, the TV goes back to the input that it was on before - nice interoperation.

We are so glad the BDP-S1700U is exactly the "no-frills" solution you were looking for! It’s great to hear that you appreciate the streamlined design without the extra bloatware.
That seamless switching you’re enjoying with your Samsung TV is thanks to BRAVIA Sync technology. We love that it makes your setup feel like one cohesive system, automatically handling the inputs so you can just pop in a disc and enjoy the movie.
