Customer Ratings & Reviews

This player has played every disc I have used so far -- DVD, Blu-Ray and 4k UHD Blu-Ray. If this player lacks anything, it is an array of streaming service apps to use. It only comes equipped with Netflix and YouTube, and doesn't appear to have an add-on feature. Unfortunately, I also do not have a TV with HDR10 or Dolby Vision, so I couldn't test the player's HDR10 and Dolby Vision settings for color and contrast accuracy.

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.

Works great! Only issue is that I wish it automatically detected Dolby Vision.

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.

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.

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+

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.

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.

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.

We needed a new player to go with the new TV and sound system we bought and this player is just what was needed. The picture is crisp and the sound great.

It was worth the wait for the newer model. With the added features it exceeds my expectations. The picture quality is excellent and the setup couldn’t be easier.

Great quality and price. Very user friendly. Reliable brand

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

Great purchase. Excellent product that allows you to see 4K movies with outstanding cinema audio.

Player has a bit better pic and noticable improvement in audio over the Sony 700 player. If you can afford, definitely recomend.

This product met all expectations and provides optimum sound quality and to TV and video applications. Set up and initial operation was quick using provided instructions.

I sought this model out over the lower-priced X700 because of its Bluetooth option, and in that alone it was worth the expense to cleanly connect to my headphones for late-night viewing. Play quality is also improved over my last 4K deck, with not only Dolby Vision (which, FYI, you have to manually turn off for non DV-enabled discs), and it's eliminated an annoying problem I was experiencing with the smearing of scenes with intense red lighting. The biggest downside is a lack of streaming options, with only Netflix, Prime, and YouTube built in with no apparent function to install more, but my TV already supplies whatever other apps I need.

This is the besk 4k player on the market. It is made by sony and is a sturdy item and has solid construction.
