    I was skeptical of the value that 4k UHD Blu Ray would offer over streaming. Wow. The picture and sound quality is next level. My kids also love physically love “putting in a movie.”

    My parents have always been the movie CD type and that’s how I grew up. When I moved out I didn’t have one and I was devastated when I decided to have friends over for a movie night and couldn’t just watch it on CD, we had to go through streaming services and that was a nightmare. This is an awesome product and can take Blu-ray and regular DVDs which I love!

    This DVD player was fast to set up with the HDMI connection and has been playing very well ever since. I highly recommend this player because it can play both regular DVD and Blue Ray once we get a Blue Ray TV.

      Hi morgaine,

      It is great to hear that your BDP-S1700U was easy to set up and is performing well for your movie nights! We are glad you’re finding it to be a reliable choice for your current collection.

      Just a small, helpful tip to ensure you get the best experience: while the player will work beautifully with your current TV, you don't actually need a specific "Blu-ray TV" to enjoy those high-definition discs. As long as your TV has an HDMI port (which it sounds like you are already using!), it is fully compatible with Blu-ray quality. Once you play a Blu-ray disc, you'll see that jump in clarity right away!

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      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.

    At first there was a problem w/ dvd adapting to Snart tv. Many selections on dvd remote. Found correct play button (not obvious choice from previous dvd player). Once it starting playing the sound was muffled. Toward middle of film figured out the audio button needs to be pressed….ugh! All is well now. Haven’t tried a blu-ray film yet.,,,wish me luck!
