Gives a good picture and would have given a better rating except for a couple of cons. 1) The video and audio lose sync and I have to shut down the TV and the player to correct the problem. This occurs approx every 2 hours. 2) There are no useful directions on how to set up the remote for the favorite button and for the TV control buttons.

This is a very good basic bluray player, has excellent video and was easy to set up. It lacks the connections for home theater, it is very small (about 1/4 the size of my older Sony bluray player), does not have a front panel display and has a plug-in AC adapter instead of the permanently-connected power cord. Overall, for the price, it is a very good bluray player.

I just bought this and it seems to work fine. All I wanted it for was to play video disks. Sony seemed to be a bit fussy about the location of the plug-in power module because of excessive heat. Also the unit vibrates quite a bit, enough so that it is audible. Don't know if this is normal, time will tell.

I bought this yesterday but had to go back to the store and get a cable to hook it to my new television. I had a problem figuring out how to get the new Roku television to switch over to the DVD player without any instructions but I finally did it. The worst problem I had by far was the half hour or more it took me to register the DVD player doing it over and over and over and over! Someone must have hacked the Sony home page.

The player periodically loses responsiveness to the remote control, making it inoperable, until we unplug it for several hours. We've only used it about 5 times and it's jappened twice. We will be taking it back to the point of purchase for exchange and hope the next unit performs better.

The player comes with many useful features, such as a Netflix button on the remote, a network connector, which I prefer to wireless and more internet selections than I could probably watch during my lifetime. It is very easy to use and I like the USB port up front. This player will play just about any motion picture format that I can throw at it, though most of my files are of the mp4, m4v and mkv variety. Overall, a very nice player.

When I purchased this product, I expected all required parts or accessories needed to get it up and running to be included. I found this not to be so. The HDM1 cable necessary to make TV and player connection was not included and had to be purchased separately. This was an unnecessary hassle and an unexpected extra expense. Also, remote is too small and lettering almost unreadable.

Works well once correct settings are in place. It has a sound setting that requires a PCM selection rather than "Auto" for our TV using an HDMI cable, which you would not expect it to matter. What's the purpose of "auto" if it doesn't auto-select? Anyway, all is good now.

I just bought these two Blue-ray players from two different outlets. The Model S-1700 is nice, compact and very easy to plug and play and does a great job upgrading all DVD and BD however it does not have built in Wi-Fi which I really needed here. The model BDP S-6700 is terrific in all functions including a very good Wi-Fi connection. The un-needed model S-1700 will be gifted to a friend and I am very happy overall with all of my Sony TV and peripherals. I think the prices of these two BD Players were very convenient for me too.

I NEEDED A NEW BLU-RAY PLAYER AND I WANTED ANOTHER SONY. I READ SOME REVIEWS AND BOUGHT THIS MODEL BECAUSE IT HAD THE BEST REVIEWS. I HAVE PLENTY OF BLU-RAY MOVIES AND THIS PLAYS THEM WITH REFERENCE QUALITY! THE PICTURE AND SOUND ARE AMAZING! I EVEN TRIED A DVD THAT SKIPPED BUT IT PLAYED WITH NO PROBLEM. THE DVDS LOOK AMAZING ALSO. I EVEN PLAYED MUSIC CDS AND THEY SOUND GREAT! I"M VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS SONY BLU-RAY PLAYER.
