Love it
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.

Not only does it play blue rays it also plays cds, dvds, blue rays and get this it streams all your favorite streaming platforms!!! What ! Yep … it does all that..mind blowing plus it's half the size of most blue ray player too. Great job on this one Sony you're really moving us into the future of technology.

    The Best of the Best!!
    What can I say about Sony,that you already don't know.Sony products have been around for ages and always keeping up with the newest innovations,products never cease to amaze you.When Sony decided to bring back the DVD player,I knew it was gonna be something new and improved.That is exactly what they did,my thoughts of the standard DVD player will never be the same.Thanks to Sony I no longer have to use multiple remotes to binge watch my favorite Netflix shows.I now am able to access it through my DVD player remote and through onscreen options,but wait there's more.....Sony DVD player allows you not only to get your favorite apps it has education features for learning k-college at home,music apps such as Pandora,Sirius.It has a Happy Kids app to safely entertain the kiddos,and of course PlayStation accessibility.This DVD has it all with already built-in apps.Thank You Sony as always for bringing your "A" game and helping keep my family up with the latest and best of the best.

    Does exactly what I needed to do!
    My Sony Blu-ray Disc DVD player, I must say that it's very efficient. It's not overly technical although it does give me exactly what I need when it comes to watching my dvds. I love the fact that it plays CDs as well. I needed one for my bedroom and this one fits perfectly. It doesn't take up much space but does come with a lot of great features. It's remote control operated. The remote does come with it and the batteries as well. It will work with any television once you get an HDMI cord which is not included. Other than that though I would say this is a perfect addition to the guest bedroom, the den, or maybe even in the kitchen. My husband was able to set it up in no time. Thinking about maybe perhaps getting another one for my granddaughter's room! It's a great addition to the other devices that we have. It's got a great clear picture. And the features on the remote are very easy to use! Sony's a brand I trust as I have other items from the brand and I'm always been happy with them. This fell in line as it did not disappoint. Definitely would recommend this for someone who doesn't previously own one or just needs an additional one!

You connect it to your TV using a HDMI Cable. It also comes with the AC adapter. Once it's all connected and you turn on the player, wait for a short while and the player turns on and starts. Playable discs are Blu-Ray Disc, DVD, and CDs. Various settings and playback operations are available by pressing options on the remote. The Sony Blu-Ray Disc player comes with a one year limited warranty once you register it. You're able to play a disc, play from a USB Device, or via a network. Playable types of files for this Sony Blu-Ray Disc Player are MPEG-1 and MPEG -2 Video, Xvid, MPEG4/AVC, VC1, WMV9 andMotion JPEG. Power requirements are 12 V DC with AC adaptor.

    Works well
    My family and I have been using this blu-ray disc for a couple weeks and we have been pleased. It's been a nice upgrade from our old dvd player and we love being able to watch higher quality blu-ray movies. I love that we can play both dvd's and blu-rays as well on it. We noticed that the disc's load fast and the menu screens respond quickly which has been nice. One drawback we found was Youtube and Netflix (any streaming service) is slow in menus and skipping through videos. Once a video is playing, it will increase in quality and viewing experience is then good. The design is nice, doesn't take up much space and it has a sleek modern look. One thing to keep in mind is that it is wired and not wireless Ethernet, so if you want to watch streaming video or access internet extras on your discs then you'll have to plug in. Overall, my family and I have been enjoying this product and would recommend!

    Slim and compact
    Love this blu ray player! It is very slim and compact! We got it to use in our camper and it is perfect for that purpose. Very easy to operate and comes with a remote control that is also very easy to use. We set it up outside of our camper to enjoy movies by the campfire! So perfect. Highly recommend!!!!

    Ease of use
    I recently upgraded DVD players and didn't realize how compact they are now. This player has a LAN and high speed HDMI cable port plus a connection for coaxial/digital out. There is a port on the front for USB as well. You will need your own cables to connect with. Setup can be done with ease. It can be done wireless with built in LAN if you so choose. The image quality is great too.

    Great product
    The Sony blu-ray disk player took about 10 minutes from box to watching movies , it was well packaged and instructions were simple to read and understand. The picture has very good quality and sound. The remote is very easy to use and understand, it's one of the best blue-ray players I've ever used.

    Nice and small!
    I loved the size of this player, it's nice and small and it doesn't take up much space. It plays both dvd and blu-ray discs and has nice picture quality. I will say, it requires an hdmi cable to connect to the TV, but it does not include one in the box which is a bit of an inconvenience. The setup is quite easy, I had no issues with connectivity or once playing the discs, and batteries for the remote are included. The player has streaming capabilities but it uses a wired connection, so an ethernet cable is needed to connect to the internet. I personally don't mind as I will mostly use it to play blu-rays, but if you would like to use the streaming features, keep that in mind because Sony does offer a wireless version as well.

    Very functional
    I needed to get a blu-ray player because my old one was acting up. First off, I love the size. It is nice and compact. My old one was huge. It was easy to set up. My son actually set it up for me and thought it was super easy. I love the remote is small too, but has all the functions you need on it. Even buttons for Netflix. I love that it is wired so that you can stream right from this to get more content. I also like that you can show things from the USB option. That is neat to get pictures, etc. from there. Overall, I think it is a nice, very compact player that should have all the functions you need. I think it was worth it.

    Excellent Blu-ray player
    The Sony BDP-S1700 is an excellent Blu-ray player. With Full HD 1080p quality picture the pictures are sharp and clear even my older DVDs played clearer then in my 10 year old player that I replaced with this Sony. Differently a superior picture quality. With its tiny footprint under 11” wide and less then 3” high you are able to tuck it away and not have a bulky player in view. This player has the faster start up and load of disks I have ever seen. Player is quite and has no noise as disks play, I tried a warped disk that made a lot of noise in my old player and in the Sony it had no noise at all. Easy set-up took under 5 minutes to set-up. Includes a full feature remote with 2 AAA batteries. Easy to by pass and quick access button get to menus quick. Built in You Tube and Netflix included as well. Only 2 small issues it is wired Ethernet and not wireless also uses a small power brick and not just a power cord so it takes up space in your power strip. In conclusion I would highly recommend this product. The item description was just as described and I would buy it again.

    Great picture, nice features
    Love Sony DVD players I'm pretty sure it's the only brand I have ever owned for a good reason QUALITY. Set up is a breeze follow the simple instructions included no need for a smart phone or app to set up your Blu-ray Disc player. Here is My hang up I messed up and got a "WIRED internet connection" I wanted wireless. Sony offers both Wired and Wireless be sure to Read the box carefully! If you don't care about your Blu-ray player being connected to the internet then just skip that part during set up. This I s a great Blu-ray player that stands alone great picture quality. Also offers a USB port to share family videos, pictures, and music. This feature is amazing for family gatherings or holidays to just pop in your USB and watch your family memories play. I love to see the Devices get put down and the story telling come alive of " oh my gosh I remember when" this disc player is worth it just for that and the picture quality everything else is just a bonus.

    Impressive smart features
    The Blu-ray Disc player is Compact, well-built with smart features and comes with all accessories that is needed to get started. The included remote has all the required functionalities including access to the smart features of the player like the one-press Netflix button. The player reads the disks practically noiseless however, you can hear a slight sound when the gears are engaging while inserting and ejecting the disk. The smart features of the blu ray player is easy to set up with the included manual. It takes less than 10 minutes to set up all the smart features. However, I wish there was some kind of display in the front, to show some basic information.

    This player is pretty much plug in and play
    I wanted this to be simple to use and just play my Blu-rays and other DVDs and this is good for that. I was able to assemble it easily. It is very quiet as well. No grinding noise or disturbances. I had to connect it to the internet to upgrade before use. You will need a cable to connect to the TV which is not included. The downsides are that, it is too light weight and small. Also it does not have wireless WIFI access, must be wired with LAN cable. Overall it serves the purpose for me!

    Especially Great for Additional Rooms
    Who doesn't like Sony? Always great products! I really like this Blu-ray Disc Player by Sony to use with a tv in a bedroom. It works great, no issues. Plus, it looks nice, sleek, and does not take up much space. It comes with the cable plug in, instruction booklet, remote, and batteries (everything you need to use it immediately)!
