Not a good streaming device.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do your homework. This has just a few streaming services, and you can't add or remove any of them. I got this assuming I could add things like HBO+, but you can not. Wish I hadn't bought it.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Buyosaur, thank you for sharing your experience. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your Sony - UBPX700M stopped working after a year of light use. We understand this can be frustrating to deal with. Here are some troubleshooting steps you may try to get this issue resolved:
1- Power reset the player. You will need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet and also disconnect the HDMI cable from the player, and leave it like this for 2 minutes. Then plug the power cord back into the outlet and turn it on
2- Try a different electrical outlet
3- If the player is still not turning on, you can try to press the power button located in front of the player directly and wait to see if the power light comes on.
If after performing these steps the unit is still not responding, we highly suggest reaching out to our technical support team through the link below:

Thank you for considering Sony products!
Best regards,
Dominick

No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:4k, Dolby vision, Size
Small footprint - Excellent device
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony 4K player delivers excellent quality in a small package. I picked this up because it plays Dolby Vision, Dolby Audio, and DTS HD Audio. It comes in a small box, includes an HDMI cable, remote and batteries. Previously I had my older 4k player hooked straight up to the tv, and was using an optical cable to connect my soundbar to the tv. Well with this Sony unit, I wanted to use full HDMI for my connections to experience the best audio quality. To do this, use the included HDMI cable and plug into the back of this 4K player port for HDMI labeled VIDEO/AUDIO. The other end goes into the back of the soundbar HDMI port labeled "HDMI IN". You will need another HDMI 4K cable to plus into the back of the soundbars HDMI port labeled "HDMI OUT ARC". The other end of this cable goes to your TV HDMI Port that HAS TO BE LABLED "ARC" as well. You will also need to change your TV settings to allow "HDMI CEC" or something similar to be "on". It is usually defaulted to off. This also allows you to still play any other HDMI connected devices on your tv straight through the soundbar. But those will be compressed audio. If you want to have uncompressed HD audio, you have to hook the source (in this case 4K player), straight up to the output source (in this case my soundbar). The reason why I am listing how to connect properly is so you can make the best use out of your SONY UBP-X700 player and get the best possible audio from watching glorious 4K movies in high definition. I mean that is the reason you are buying a 4K player right? Don't just settle for 4K video, make sure you also setup 4K audio for a true theater experience! Overall setup was easy. Plug and play. Turn on blu ray player and go through setup instructions to connect to your Wifi if you wish to use the streaming apps on the player or to be able to update the player. **Technically this could be a negative, and not just for this SONY player but "Smart" 4K players in general. Nowadays people stream from their TV. and most have a fire stick or roku stick, etc. NOBODY I know is turning on their 4K or blu ray player to connect to netflix lol. I feel like these companies could save some money on the cost of making the player if they left out the streaming apps. They just aren't needed imo. This unit is nice and has a USB port right on the front of the player. You can play audio and video files from a USB stick. It is also a tiny space taker. It is about 3/4 the size of my previous LG 4K UHD player. **This unit also is 3D capable and although I know it is a dying format, but would be nice to see more clearer on the box besides a tiny logo on the bottom along the BACK of the box. Overall a great unit, and highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend Not reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had two of these, and they both died within two years. They are great when they work, but they are a waste of money because they consistently fail.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Weak laser, possibly defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased about a month ago so that I could watch Game Of Thrones in 4k UHD. Unfortunately near the end of a disk (about 3.5 hours) it begins to freeze and stutter, which I assume is due to a weak laser. Pretty disappointing to discover.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBuy something better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great when it works, 2 hours into my brand new 4k Blu-ray movie this unit freezes and starts skipping multiple minutes at a time. My other Sony Blu-ray player started doing the same thing after a year or so. Looks like I'm not buying any more Sony Blu-Ray players, and this one is going to be returned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoor Slow Motion
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hoped the Blu-ray player would have good slow motion features like the older Sony players. If you need slow motion this is not the player for you.
