Customer Ratings & Reviews

We recently remodeled our living room and needed a new CD player. The Sony Blu Ray player is thin and fits perfectly in our media center. It is easy to use and provides quality sound.

I’ve had this for three years and it fits the bill. It’s paired with my Marantz receiver and five DT speakers. Very good picture on my Samsung 9000 and hooks up well with my Soundsystem. I also use it as a CD player as the quality is as good or better than most cd players.

The gentleman who assisted me rates a five star rating because because he was that good in his career thus far. He demonstrated confidence but not arrogance a combination not often experienced by the consumer. We have lived in Orlando since 1987 and our purchases from BestBuy are significant. When we took a look at some HDMI cables, we shared what we were doing, a switch box with 4 HDMI connections. When I asked about a cat cable, he immediately took me to the new cables that were much faster than I currently had. The gentleman was very comfortable, sincere, and genuine in his whole demeaner

This 4K SHD DVD player is quite impressive, but something I didn't realize before I bought it was that while it will play ALL DVD resolutions, the discs must be VERY clean and dust free because the 4K laser beam is so tiny even a slight dust particle will make the video on screen pause or jump a bit. When the discs are clean and dust free everything about this player works flawlessly.

This was a replacement for the older version of the same model. I had had that one for nine years and used it frequently. It always performed well, and I was very happy with it. That is why I chose the same model as a replacement. I have only had this one for a couple of weeks. It is working well. I haven’t had a chance to get into its improved features. I don’t anticipate having any problems.

I purchased this player to match it with my XBR-77A9G OLED TV. Great experience, fast loading time. Perfect picture, upscaling with some older DVDs very satisfactory.

This is a pricey Blu-ray player that I am not quite sure if it’s worth the money or not compared to the lower tear one that cost $100 less. I got this for a black Friday deal at around the same price as the lower tier one so I figured for the little bit extra money may as well go bigger however, I have not tested any other 4K Blu-ray player other than a PS5 and it does have a better quality than a PS5. I’d recommend watching an actual review or reading review from someone who knows better than some stranger on Best Buy.

Excellent audio and video quality. Easy to use, quick to load, and quiet too. I had to return one though; the first one would freeze after and hour into a movie. The replacement unit is perfect though.

On the whole, a great player! Picture is amazing, and physically it feels different than any other Blu-Ray player I've had. Love the "standard" width form factor and flat top that enables it to fit into a stack. Connected it via HDMI to a Marantz SR6014. Primary use case was wanting to be able to play back SACDs and DSD multichannel files from USB drive. I am able to play DSD64 and FLAC multichannel files from the USB key, although DSD128 multichannel does not work. Haven't tried DSD128 stereo. Wish it would support mapping a network drive via SMB and reading in the DSD multichannel files from there.

Great quality and price. Very user friendly. Reliable brand

First time I tried this 4K player at home, the sound was outstanding. I have other 4K players. This one stood out. It doesn't have on board display for the minutes etc.

Great player and superior build quality compared to any other players in it’s price range. The construction is solid and weighs 8.4 lbs! Compare that to all the other models of Panasonic, LG etc. that are very plastic, light and cheap feeling and weigh in the mid-4 lbs range. Drive is also super quiet compared to others and very stable due to the weight of the unit. I only use the player for Ultra HD Blu-rays, Blu-rays and standard format DVDs and it works perfectly providing great picture quality and sound and no technical issues. I cannot comment on using other types of media inputs with this player.

Not enough homework on my part and I did quite a bit. I guess I assumed a $225 player would at least have a front LED display. Full disclosure I am an Audiophile who likes watching movies not the other way around, this players music CD capabilities is what drew me in. I'm not big on "it loads my discs fast" I could care less I can wait a few seconds for a Bluray to load. Give me more capabilities please. It would be nice to know if the player is on or not at the least!?!?!. And you cannot load more streaming apps, wjat the what!?!?! Can someone say exclusivity deal with Prime, Netflix and YouTube only much!?!?! Let me download more streaming apps for the love of all thats sacred in the bluray player world. This is an average/good player at best. Way overpriced. user experience is terrible. No front LED display and its huge and weighs a ton that alone makes it an average/good player at best. I find that inexcusable and unacceptable. I won't be purchasing another Sony bluray player unless they change. My old 89 dollar Samsung player has a front LED display and lets you download streaming apps e.g. Disney+

Sony never disappoints when it comes to picture and sound and this player delivers on both! So many features and benefits for the $ it's probably one of the best players on the market! Very pleased with it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fantastic 4k player!

I've had no issues with this player at all. It handles 4K like a champ and I do believe it improves tired ole DVDs as well. But, with 4k Blu-ray it shines!

So far, so good. Every disc I've played works exceptionally well. The quality of the video is very cinematic. I guess I'm going to have to buy a decent audio system to match the quality of this player.Oh well such a problem. if you haven't understood, I really like this player.

Good quality equipment. Easy to use remote. Played both bile ray and 4k well.

Works great, easy to use. Only problem is the remote battery cover doesn’t stay. I taped it. A bit frustrating but not worth a star.

After reading several reviews about 4K UHD Blu-ray, I decided to try it. Wow! Watching a movie on 4K is almost like being there. One huge difference is no pixelation on dark areas. If you are serious about watching movies in the very best quality, this is a must.

The 4K Sony player is awesome. The picture is absolutely amazing and clear.
