Good DVD Player with ONE FLAW.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good DVD player. Good picture. The reason I rated it a “4” is because it DOESN’T have the feature that allows you to shut it off, remove the disc, and when you put the disc back in and turn the player back on, it will continue playing and pick up where you left off.

Posted .Hi Rocky,
We are truly heartened to learn that you are enjoying the high-quality picture performance of your BDP-S1700U Blu-ray player. We take great pride in ensuring that even our most compact players deliver a crisp, clear visual experience for your favorite films.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the disc-resume functionality. While many of our players support a Resume Play feature for the current session, we understand how convenient it is to have that memory persist even after the disc has been removed. Input like yours is invaluable as it helps us refine the features that matter most to our viewers.
Thank you for making Sony part of your home entertainment.

Impressively Small Footprint
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't speak to durability as I have only had it a few days. However, I can say that the small size and footprint is nice. The unit takes up very little space compared to the monsters of the past. The functionality of the unit and remote is great. No complaints. Sony quality at an affordable price. The proper HDMI cable was in the box making connection to the TV a snap.

Works fine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to work perfectly. Remote does more and requires much less operation with tv remote. Buttons on remote are numerous and also smaller which requires more concentration when using.

DVD Player
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

We are happy to hear that you're finding your BDP-S1700 easy to operate.

Basic features, but it does the job!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
