      It is incredible to hear that your previous Sony Blu-ray player served you faithfully for over a decade! We’re so glad that the BDP-S1700 provided such a seamless transition for you. Keeping things user-friendly and compatible—right down to the cables and remote functions—is something we strive for to make upgrading as easy as possible.
