Great Blu-ray/CD player for people who don’t need the best of the best. Works great out of the box and does what it needs to. This is not a 4K player, but I know I would need to spend at double to get that, so I’ll be okay with my HD content.

Very simple to operate!
The remote chooses randomly to play with the play button or the center control button. Don't know why, but otherwise is fine.

Thank you for the review, VirginiaB!
We are happy to hear that you're finding your BDP-S1700 easy to operate. Regarding the playback controls, the center "Enter" button and the "Play" button can sometimes behave similarly depending on which on-screen menu is active, but we appreciate you bringing this inconsistency to our attention. It’s great to know that everything else is working well for you!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

This little BluRay player is great if you still have physical media, which I to get the best surround sound with a sharp clear picture. This avoids buffering error messages during movies and all the interruptions you get with streaming.

Great no frills Blu-ray player. Simple to use and doesn't have all the stuff you don't need/want (e.g., no apps/bloat ware, etc. ...). Paired with a Samsung Smart TV, you turn on the Blu-ray, the TV automatically switches inputs, and when you turn it off, the TV goes back to the input that it was on before - nice interoperation.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Joel!
We are so glad the BDP-S1700U is exactly the "no-frills" solution you were looking for! It’s great to hear that you appreciate the streamlined design without the extra bloatware.
That seamless switching you’re enjoying with your Samsung TV is thanks to BRAVIA Sync technology. We love that it makes your setup feel like one cohesive system, automatically handling the inputs so you can just pop in a disc and enjoy the movie.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

I bought this same exact Blu-ray player about 3 years ago for my parents and it has been great, but now it's around $30 more expensive for the exact same product. Other than the price, it is a great buy, even a Best Buy! Not many features, but it is reliable, sturdy and has a small footprint.

Thanks for choosing Sony, have a wonderful day! DiegoV
