Was looking for a blu ray player but was totally surprised that I can also play my DVD's and the quality of the picture is tremendous!! I play my DVDs on my dvd player and they are dull.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a easy to use blu-ray player with a beautiful output Sony is a perfect choice. I love how easy this player was to hook up to my tv and start watching my favorite blu-ray movies. The design is very up-to-date and blends in well with my electronic setup. Provides a beautiful picture quality throughout every use. Available at a great value compared to other blu-ray players. I would definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot believe I waited so long to get a blue ray player. First off I will say the machine has a great low profile look about it taking up very minimal room. Second it was a breeze to set up and sync to TV which I love. And of course the biggest items are picture and sound both were outstanding. I have not seen a brighter picture on my TV. The sound was crystal clear and this says alot too since I am a retired disable vet with hearing aids. I actually enjoyed a movie. This player is a must have in home entertainment.

this was a replacement for another sony blu ray player that was also malfunctioning and eventually broke. after only about two uses of this replacement and trying a third time it is not working. I don't think I even used the dvd feature itself. poor quality. hope the sony tv I just purchased wont go through this as well

I recently purchased this product and it's easy to operate. I like how the remote control controls the blu ray/dvd and the television when operating the system. The equipment is conveniently small for unusual small places. Just because it's a small system doesn't mean the quality is not superb , which it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality was clearer than a gaming system we have and use to play dvd/blu-ray discs.  The set up was easy, although there was a lot of settings in the menu to choose from during the set up.  It also did not come with an ethernet cable which took a bit of time to locate one.  I was not a fan of the size and shape of the remote.  It felt big in the palm of my hand and only had one streaming service you could easily access on the remote. I liked the hidden door of how it opens to insert the disk.  The face of the player dropped down and then the tray slid out.  It is an ideal device for a non-smart television because of the access to streaming platforms as well as the blu-ray capabilities. However, if you have a smart television it is just a glorified blu-ray dvd player in the end.

Cannot get the thing to "read" a DVD when I run it through my Denon AV receiver. Works fine when I run directly (HDMI) into my old Sony LCD tv. Tried a firmware update, said it is current; tried swithing BD/DVD set-up to DVD, still nothing. If I cannot get it to read DVD's why bother? Would not recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not own a Blu-ray disc player so I was excited to try out the Sony Blu-ray Disc Player. I like how small this Blu-ray disc player as it is 9 1/8 in. X 7 3/4 in. X 1 9/16 in.. I first tried out a Blu-ray disc and it worked great and was easy to use. Then since one of the DVDs we had didn't work in our current set up, I thought I'd try it in this Blu-ray disc player and it worked! So I was very happy about this. The operating instructions are easy to read and it shows you that it can also play CDs too and a lot of different types of files (video, music, and photo) and ways it can play (disc, USB device, and via a network). Some how this Blu-ray disc player can access Netflix but since we don't use that service I am unsure how that feature works. The player itself it great and would of received five stars except this model (BDP-S1700) does not come with a High Speed HDMI Cable. Luckily, we managed to have an extra one to connect it to our TV. Otherwise, it would not have worked. I look forward to now be able to view Blu-ray discs with the Sony Blu-ray Disc Player.

The purchase of a very important Blu-ray disc of Region 2 was the impetus to getting an all-region Blu-ray player. SONY is a good name brand, and the unit performs well as a SONY unit would. A unit, though, that is WiFi capable would be more desirable. I am glad I purchased this unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that it is sleek and small. Easy to place near my tv and does not take up that much room. It is easy to hook up and easy to use. Had no problem setting it up and it works great for both Blu-ray and DVDs.
