    Seems like a very good unit so far. I just wish it had more audio outputs for the sound bar that I bought from Best Buy. Now I have to go back to your store to get a different cable.

    This product has no Wi-Fi connection. Most people do not have their system set up in a room with direct access to a wired ethernet connection. This was the only player available at the store and the web site stated it was Wi-Fi compatable. There is no way to get firmware updates without this function. There is no excuse for making a product like this withour Wi-Fi connectivity!

      Hi AnnaK,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the UBP-X700/U. We appreciate your perspective on the importance of wireless connectivity in modern home theater setups, as this helps us better understand the specific needs of our users.

      To clarify the technical specifications of this model, the UBP-X700/U is equipped exclusively with a physical Ethernet port for network access and does not feature internal Wi-Fi hardware. We understand that a wired connection may not be convenient for every room layout, particularly when it comes to maintaining firmware updates or accessing online features.

      If your setup requires a wireless connection, we recommend considering the UBP-X800M2. This model is designed with built-in Wi-Fi and supports a variety of streaming services, providing the flexibility to update and stream without the need for a direct Ethernet cable.

      We hope this information helps you find the best solution for your home entertainment.

      Thank you for considering Sony!

    I did like the initial feel and appearance of this Sony player, which I purchased to replace an older Sony Blu-ray device. But, and this is probably not an issue with all of these players, I could not get the player to connect to my Wi-Fi system. After many attempts, I found that the network setting was hard set to wired only. There was no way I could change this, even trying to do a firmware update. My suspicion is that this open box unit was programmed to be a demo unit in the store. So, back it went and I moved on to another brand player.

      Hi Lonestarlizard,

      We appreciate you sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it is when a product doesn't meet your expectations, especially when replacing an older device. The UBP-X700U model is designed to use a wired Ethernet connection for network features and does not have built-in Wi-Fi. It sounds like you were correctly observing this limitation.

      If you ever decide to try a Sony player with built-in wireless connectivity, our UBP-X800M2 model is an excellent choice. It offers the same fantastic 4K picture quality with the convenience of a Wi-Fi connection, which could provide a much smoother experience for you.

      Thanks for considering Sony products.

      Hi storm320,

      We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to complete the setup process for the UBPX700U Blu-ray player, which resulted in the return. It's frustrating when a new device doesn't connect smoothly, and we understand your decision. In the event you consider purchasing another 4K player in the future, please know that setup difficulties are often resolved by ensuring a Premium High-Speed HDMI cable is used and that the corresponding HDMI input on your TV is set to an Enhanced/Deep Color/UHD Format within your TV's settings.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi DavidH,

      We understand your frustration with DVD navigation and screen settings. This is often resolved by adjusting a couple of settings: please go to the player's Setup menu and ensure the 4K Upscale Setting is set to Off or None for smoother DVD menu navigation. For screen stretching on older DVDs, try setting the DVD Aspect Ratio in the Screen Settings to Letterbox.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
