Sony BDPS1700 Blu-ray Player

If you're looking for a Blu-ray/DVD player and you're on a budget, this Sony is hard to beat. Granted, there's no display on the front and it doesn't support WiFi (Ethernet only), but it does all the basics and features HDMI as well as a separate coax digital audio output, so you can run the audio separately to a stereo receiver or surround system. Overall I'm very happy with it.

When my DVD player broke, I went to a different store to but a replacement. When I got it home and set it up it did not have the ethernet port and could not get my old tv to play my streaming apps which is run through my DVD player. When I put in previous model number and you suggested something comparable you had images of the back of the unit and description so I knew it would work as it looked similar to what I had. Easy set up and everything is working even better than previous model that broke.

Very nice player for the price. Better than the similarly priced Panasonic DMP-BD90 for the following reasons: nicer physical appearance, quieter operation, coax digital audio output, more intuitive remote layout with larger buttons and TV power, input and volume controls, nicer looking interface that provides more information about currently playing disc or file, plays more file types from usb drive. The biggest drawbacks with the Panasonic is its relatively noisy operation, very tiny play control buttons on remote, and relatively ugly, cheap-looking interface. The Sony also uses a bit less power. Picture and sound quality on both is pretty good and hard to tell the difference between them back to back. For most people, the Sony is the better player. Hope this helps.

Just got it today and so far it is working good. Only tow things to keep in mind: 1. It does not come with an hdmi cable. You will need to purcase. 2. This svd player is not wifi conpatable. To connect to the internet, you will need a LAN connection.

Nothing great but works well most of the time. It will start up occasionally with no sound and I'll have to exit out and restart and it will freeze on occasion. Neither of this happens enough to be more than a slight irritation. However, I wish I would have spent the extra $5 or $10 on the Panasonic machine I bought my parents

Limitation of 500 files per folder. Very slow to load/display. Some files may not play. Mainly got it to play.wmv files which it does play for the most part. Display quality is very good. It does the basics, like playing commercial Blu-ray discs, quite well.

I'm very disappointed in this product. I bought the x700U knowing that some users complained about discs freezing, but I found enough positive reviews to give it a chance. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get through most movies I've played. As others have noted, it seems that is usually happens in the last quarter of the movie. I usually have to shut off the player completely and restart to recover. After reading tips online, I've tried wiping the disc with a microfibre cloth, even though all my discs are new (first play was in this player). Also tried adjusting the configuration as noted in some reviews (e.g. set cinema conversion to video not auto, etc). Firmware is up to date. The player gets very hot even though it is sitting on an open shelf in a cool room - I suspect it overheats and dies. So frustrating

I purchased it in July and used it once. I wanted to use it again in October, but it's not working, apparently. This model has serious issues, and I didn't see anyone mentioning this in the Walmart reviews. The one time I used it, it worked fine, like any other Blu-ray player

DVD player arrived in a In a plastic bag, left on the doorstep. No wonder box was damaged - one corner was bashed in. Had to return it to walmart the next day.

Does not work, Called Sony for assistance setting up and they give you a runaround and they cannot make it work. Please except for return and refund..
