Affordable and Easy to install.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great, affordable product. Plug into TV, plug into wall and put batteries into the remote. Then just turn it on and pop in your disc. Easy, peasy. If you like old movies -- like holiday classics-- or CDs and get tired of renting them --this is for you. Buy once play as long as discs last.

Posted .Hi NathanL,
We are ecstatic to learn that the BDP-S1700U is helping you rediscover your favorite childhood movies! There is truly nothing like that nostalgic feeling of loading a classic disc and seeing it come to life again.
While you are revisiting those original DVDs, our Precision CinemaHD upscale technology is working behind the scenes to bridge the gap between the past and present. It intelligently converts standard-definition signals to a resolution closer to 1080p Full HD, ensuring your vintage collection looks sharper and more vibrant on modern screens. Combined with TRILUMINOS™ color support, those classic films will have a level of depth and intensity that brings those memories into the modern era beautifully.
Thank you for making Sony part of your home entertainment.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had the previous model of this player in several rooms before and like the new format even better.

Very solid Blu-ray player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Blu-ray/CD player for people who don’t need the best of the best. Works great out of the box and does what it needs to. This is not a 4K player, but I know I would need to spend at double to get that, so I’ll be okay with my HD content.

Nothing beats physical media.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tired of the streaming services and their shoddy commercial and pricing practices? This is where it's at, where it's always been at but I was too lazy to commit and I am tired of random company+ streaming sites. Not to mention the way that the visual quality is just better on physical media, especially when things are in motion. If you really want to *watch* something and not just have it as background noise like some do, this is what you need to get. If you don't wish to invest in the more expensive 4K player this is the best middle ground.

Good DVD Player with ONE FLAW.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good DVD player. Good picture. The reason I rated it a “4” is because it DOESN’T have the feature that allows you to shut it off, remove the disc, and when you put the disc back in and turn the player back on, it will continue playing and pick up where you left off.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the disc-resume functionality.

Works fine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to work perfectly. Remote does more and requires much less operation with tv remote. Buttons on remote are numerous and also smaller which requires more concentration when using.

Impressively Small Footprint
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't speak to durability as I have only had it a few days. However, I can say that the small size and footprint is nice. The unit takes up very little space compared to the monsters of the past. The functionality of the unit and remote is great. No complaints. Sony quality at an affordable price. The proper HDMI cable was in the box making connection to the TV a snap.
