Doesn’t Detect Disc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This player was easy to setup and plays nicely aside from one thing. If you turn it off with a disc still in it, then turn it back on, it will say no disc detected. The only way to “remind” it there is a disc inside is to open and close the drawer (sometimes twice).

Posted .Hi Mara,
We appreciate you letting us know about the specific issue you've encountered with the BDPS1700U Blu-ray player where it fails to recognize a disc upon power-on after being turned off. While we are glad the setup was easy and playback is generally smooth, this is not the intended operating behavior. This symptom can sometimes be resolved by performing a factory reset or by ensuring the player's firmware is updated to the latest version, as software patches often address intermittent disc detection issues. If updating the firmware does not resolve the need to cycle the disc drawer, please reach out to our support team for more tailored troubleshooting steps https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Sony Blu-ray player
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice DVD player. but even pairing it with a Sony TV was not easy or intuitive. It required several steps, and the remote was not intuitive (use the ok button, not the play button, if you want to play a DVD. )

Defective, returned
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a problem with this particular model before. It seems to stem from the power cord being a separate connection to the unit rather than being hard wired to it. This causes connection problems sometimes resolved by unplugging/replugging the cord on the back of the unit. The power connection to an AC outlet also takes up more space than a regular cord connection would. My first unit purchased years ago didn't display this problem until after the return period had expired. I thought the problem might be fixed but fortunately my recent purchase revealed this problem the first day. I have a regular Sony DVD player with a normal power connection and have no problem with it.

Posted .Hi Volksold,
We apologize for the frustration caused by the power connection design on this model. While this external adapter is used to maintain the unit’s compact footprint, we understand how a secure fit is essential for uninterrupted viewing. Please ensure the cord is pushed firmly into the player until it is fully flush, and try placing the unit on a flat, stable surface to prevent any tension on the port. We take your feedback regarding the plug size and connection style seriously as we look to improve our future designs. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
