    This unit is simple to operate with the remote - much better than my old one with locations on top of the unit that you were supposed to push but seldom worked. Sound quality is outstanding.

      Hi MichelleJ,

      We are really happy to hear that your BDP-S1700U is doing exactly what it was built to do—delivering a smooth and reliable viewing experience every time you press play! Whether you’re marathon-watching a favorite series or taking a quick break mid-movie, it’s great to know the player handles your collection with such consistency.

      Even with its compact design, this player is a powerhouse for your physical media. It features Full HD 1080p upscaling, which breathes new life into your classic DVDs by sharpening the image quality to near-HD levels. Combined with TRILUMINOS color technology, it ensures that every scene—whether you watch it all the way through or just the first half—is bursting with vibrant, realistic shades.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to keep your movie nights running smoothly.

      Best regards,
      Dominick Sony_US
