Run of the mill dvd player, kind of regret not just buying one from a thrift shop - since it is 2024.
Expensive but good picture quality.

A nice player that does what it needs to do. Plays 4K with no issues and puts out great sound. The interface is very clunky but not an issue if you already have a smart TV.

I love the versatility (old DVDs, blue-ray, and ultra 4k) of this player. It has enough bells and whistles for me without paying for the sound extras.

I already own a Sony UDP-X700 which I’ve had for two years now and has worked great. Today we decided that we wanted a second player for our other TV, so I immediately purchased this UDP-X700M (presumably an updated model, though right off it’s hard to tell what the differences are). Got it home, put in a movie to test it, and within 45 minutes of the movie, we’d had the audio drop out just for a second (but still noticeably) six times. Well, that’s not good, but maybe it’s the disc, so I put in another movie. It was fine for the first hour, but then it started freezing for several seconds at a time repeatedly. Geez. Ok, so I hadn’t watched either of those discs yet, so I put in a third movie that we’d watched on the other player without problems only a week or so ago. About 25 minutes in, we had an audio drop out, and ten minutes later, it started freezing. Ok, at this point, I’m pretty sure it’s the player.
I did a Google search on the issue, and found that this is a known problem with this model, both in the original and this updated version. Apparently I got lucky that I got a good one with my first one, because lots of people have these exact problems with it.
A few posts that I saw suggested that turning off network features would fix it, but you know what? No. I’m not going to gimp the features of what was not a particularly cheap blu-ray player just to work around problems that Sony should be fixing.
So tomorrow this player is going back to Best Buy, and I’ll be picking up either an LG or a Panasonic player (the other options they had), because I don’t have the time or patience to play Sony blu-ray player roulette and hope that I get another good one next time.

It has been a while since I upgraded my equipment. I bought a new tv and wanted to plug in blu-ray without using a converter. This purchase did the job with a very clear picture and opened up a whole lot of new features that were not available to me before. Very happy with the purchase.

It plays my 4K Blu-ray discs. It was cheaper than the other models. It comes with its own 4K HDMI cable. Do NOT depend on using it as a streaming device unless you only watch Netflix or Hulu, but if you've ever bough a Blu-ray player from Sony, you already know that.

Excellent blu-ray player, was using my Xbox to play movies, but was having problems with studdering and other playback issues and this fixed it! Ultra 4K plays great. Worth every penny.

Joey was very professional, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He set up the tv I purchased for the bedroom and hooked up the DVD in the living room. Joey also showed me how to listen to my Apple Music through my receiver and explained how to use the remote.

Great 4K dvd player. 4K dvd's are a slight improvement over streaming 4K, plus you can skip to chapters rather than just fast forwarding on streaming. However, I don't understand why they have all of the apps preinstalled. If you are watching 4K movies you obviously have a smart TV that has all of the apps already.

Sony Blu-ray Ultra HD DVD problems

The unit has a tendency to not work. Example: i have to unplug it for it to turn on sometimes. It needs to reboot or something. Otherwise, when it does work, everything is good. The quality of the picture is clear and the sound is good. This one is replacing a Sony unit as well and it did the same thing. Finally, it just quit working. Power would come on, but it wouldn't open up for a disc. So I got the new one to replace it. It's sleek looking and fits in with the rest of my system.
