Its a nice basic Bluray player
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So the reason i am giving it 3 stars out of 5 is because the bluray player is very basic and has blanked out on me a couple of times with my tv just turning black from its screen with no audio or video signal just a plain black screen forcing me to disconnect the bluray player from the wall outlet and reconnecting it again to get it to work again, this is exactly why i do not like to prematurely give reviews and wait till after owning it for a bit. I always give things a couple of weeks before reviewing so that i can give a real feedback from a buyer. Now is this player bad? Not really, when it works the videos play great basic dvds and blurays play ok but the connectivity for internet support to get updates have to be done through an Ethernet cable because this player even at its current price doesnt support wifi. Kind of disappointi g considering its price. This have changed so much with technology and to have to pay even more than before just to get wifi connectivity for firmware updates is ridiculous. Well regardless to the internet connection it is a decent bluray player that is compact and i do recommend it if you are just looking for a basic alternative player than can play your bluray and dvd movies, its compact so it will fit great it a kid's room or even a RV or motor home with a small to medium size tv. Its not bad but it's not good either. This player would have gotten a 4 star rating from me if it wasnt for the random times thw screen turns black when trying to play a random bluray movie and having to go through the trouble of unplugging the power cable because the player freezes and wont even eject the bluray lol so the first star removal is for the lack of wifi connection for firmware updates and the second star removal is for the reliability of the player. So i recommend it if you are ok with what i mentioned above but dont recommend it if you are looking for something reliable where trouble shooting may be necessary. Maybe tey the next step up in the line. How ever this seems to be the new normal thing for "affordable" bluray players still around in the market.

Posted .Thank you for sharing this thorough and honest review, MrRuiz1983.
We appreciate you taking the time to use your BDP-S1700 Blu-ray player for a few weeks before providing this detailed feedback. As a company, we rely on genuine user experiences to understand how our products perform in the real world.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the player randomly freezing and turning your screen black, forcing you to unplug it. This is certainly not the reliable performance we aim to deliver, and we understand why this issue would significantly impact your rating.
We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the lack of built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for firmware updates on this model. We understand your disappointment, especially given the current price point and the evolution of technology, and we will certainly be relaying this feedback to our product development team for review.
It is rewarding to hear that, when it is working, you find the player to be a decent, compact option for playing your basic DVDs and Blu-rays. Your suggestions about its suitability for a kid's room or an RV are excellent recommendations for other shoppers looking for a simple, space-saving player.
We want to help ensure you get the reliable experience you expect from Sony. Before considering an exchange or upgrade, you may want to try the following to see if it improves the freezing issue:
Check for an Update: If you haven't already, please connect the player via Ethernet to check for the latest firmware update. Updates often contain critical stability fixes.
Try a Different HDMI Port/Cable: Sometimes freezing can be caused by an HDCP handshake issue with a specific TV port or cable.
If the freezing issues continue after an update, please reach out directly to our dedicated Sony Product Support Team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=bd.
We would be happy to troubleshoot the matter further or explore available service options.
Thank you again for choosing Sony and for providing the comprehensive feedback on the BDP-S1700.
