Great player for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had the previous model of this player in several rooms before and like the new format even better. Would recommend this player, it is a good performer especially for the price. Not overloaded with bells and whistles but I prefer a more simple machine to operate.

Posted .Hi NathanL,
We are ecstatic to learn that the BDP-S1700U is helping you rediscover your favorite childhood movies! There is truly nothing like that nostalgic feeling of loading a classic disc and seeing it come to life again.
While you are revisiting those original DVDs, our Precision CinemaHD upscale technology is working behind the scenes to bridge the gap between the past and present. It intelligently converts standard-definition signals to a resolution closer to 1080p Full HD, ensuring your vintage collection looks sharper and more vibrant on modern screens. Combined with TRILUMINOS™ color support, those classic films will have a level of depth and intensity that brings those memories into the modern era beautifully.
Thank you for making Sony part of your home entertainment.

Best Blu-ray / DVD player at this price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best Blu-ray / DVD player at this price point. Includes Remote and 6 foot HDMI cable which other players at this price point do not include. Does not include WI-FI connectivity which I don't use so that is ok for me. Easy hook up. Size is much smaller than the Blu-ray I replaced and compact size fits easy on shelf.

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.

Very solid Blu-ray player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Nothing beats physical media.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tired of the streaming services and their shoddy commercial and pricing practices? This is where it's at, where it's always been at but I was too lazy to commit and I am tired of random company+ streaming sites. Not to mention the way that the visual quality is just better on physical media, especially when things are in motion. If you really want to *watch* something and not just have it as background noise like some do, this is what you need to get. If you don't wish to invest in the more expensive 4K player this is the best middle ground.

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.
