Nice player
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to go with our new 4K TV and soundbar setup. Have watched two 4K bluray movies so far, True Lies and The King's Man. Kings Man looked and sounded great all the way through, but when I ejected the disk the machine froze, had to unplug it to get it back! True Lies looked mostly great but parts of it were way visually underwhelming, I suspect James Cameron was too busy saving the planet to put in the effort on the 4K conversion, not the fault of the player! The regular bluray version of The Hobbit also looked and sounded great! I am having a hard time finding any support (firmware etc.) from Sony on this particular model of the X700 series though, must be a new version. All in all, a good machine without spending too much money!

Posted .That is fantastic feedback, Nick!
We are thrilled that your new UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player is delivering great performance with your new TV and soundbar—especially that regular Blu-ray playback of The Hobbit! It sounds like you've found a great value machine for your new setup.
And you are likely right about True Lies; sometimes those older 4K conversions can be hit-or-miss, which is definitely not the fault of the player!
Regarding your issues:
The Freeze: The player locking up after ejecting The King's Man and requiring a power cycle is definitely not normal. This is usually a symptom of a temporary software hiccup.
Support/Firmware: You are spot-on that the UBP-X700 is a newer variant. However, it belongs to the widely supported UBP-X700 series. All firmware and support are handled under the UBP-X700 product page.
A firmware update often fixes those random lockups and stability issues (like freezing after eject). Please use the links for the UBP-X700 to ensure you have the latest software:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/home-video-blu-ray-disc-players-recorders/ubp-x700/downloads
We strongly recommend updating via the internet if your player is connected, as it is the easiest method.
Please let us know if a firmware update resolves that post-ejecting freeze. Thanks again for choosing Sony for your home theater setup!

Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Sony - UBPX700U 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Blu-ray Player installed correctly. Sony provide a printed installation manual with the unit and I adjusted it to the Panasonic TV. Due to the holidays, I only had the time to watch one DVD and it was a joy. I recommend this unit.

Good but could be improved
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks and sounds amazing with proper 4k UHD disc. It has lagged about in the 10 or so movies I’ve watched with it. The lag is never longer than a second and hasn’t ruined the movie watching experience for me yet.

Does the job, but is far from perfect.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is essentially a refreshed / cutdown version of the old X700 by removing all irrelevant (mostly streaming) apps. The interface is clean and responsive for the weak chip it has. There can be freezing issues if you leave your blu-ray disk in the tray over the night. To solve that, simply eject the disk and then load it again. This is an annoying issue, though not a dealbreaker. This model still doesn’t support Dolby Vision auto-detect. However, most TV manufacturers can’t even implement DV correctly, and the dynamic metadata sometimes don’t have much effect for bright TVs (> 1000 nits). I always watch in HDR10 now, but Panasonic UB450 offers Dolby Vision auto-detect and might be cheaper on sale. So, if you want to buy a new blu-ray player, keep this in mind, and the UB450 might be a much better buy.

Posted .Hi Kimukatsu,
Thank you for your candid feedback regarding the UBPX700U 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player, especially concerning the freezing issue and the Dolby Vision functionality. We appreciate you outlining the simple workaround for the freezing, which may help other users, and we will certainly pass your detailed input regarding the Dolby Vision auto-detect feature on to our development team for future consideration. While we are glad the refreshed interface is clean and responsive for you, we understand your points about the freezing are frustrating and we strive to continuously improve the user experience for our products.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
