Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Home Theater Streaming Blu-Ray Player

Some Background: A couple years ago, I purchased a brand-new Sony UBP-X1100ES for $500.00 here on Amazon. That same player can still be obtained on Amazon, but for two to three times the price I paid a couple years past. That player stuttered, fractured, and froze often, especially during the 4k playback of the raging river/waterfall scene of "1917", Peter Jackson's "King Kong" between 2:26-2:27 where Kong is rampaging through a shoreline tunnel to "save" Ann Darrow from being taken away on a small boat, and invariably freezing during a climactic scene in "Mortal Engines" where Valentine's warmongering is confronted by his daughter Katherine. And there are other movies which froze also, almost always in specific places. Now, you might think you can see where this is going: "Surely, I must simply not be taking care of my discs. I obviously have scratches and/or poor disc cleaning cloths, cleaner, etc." (For the record, I use Zeiss lens cleaner and cloths.) Well, after a couple years of this, it occurred to me that it could be a problem with the UBP-X1100ES itself. (Big scandalous gasp here!) Providentially, I had a Sony UBP-X700 hooked to a Samsung 4k computer monitor on the wall in front of my treadmill. (Side note: I do my treadmill walking to "Pacific Rim" or "Edge of Tomorrow: Live, Die, Repeat" with Beyerdynamic DT 990 (32 Ohm) headphones... total adrenaline rush, and the Sony UBP-X700 nails it every time!) Anyway, I decided to give the UBP-X700 a go in place of the UBP-X1100ES and see what that might tell me. I made all the connections to my LG 55" OLED TV and fired it up. As soon as I spun up the UBP-X700, the clouds parted, the birds started singing, and peace descended over the land! Well, actually what happened was two-fold technological magic: 1) The UBP-X700 player had no trouble whatsoever with the "1917" raging river/waterfall scene. As well, the player had zero difficulty with the "Mortal Engines" daughter/father confrontation which my UBP-X1100ES flubbed every time. And, last but not least, the "King Kong" Ann Darrow rampage/rescue scene was rendered flawlessly. What a relief to have the freezing disc playback eliminated!!! 2) As a bonus, I immediately noticed the UBP-X700 player had visibly better picture resolution and color on my LG than I had been experiencing with the UBP-X1100ES. This superior rendering was especially true when it came to details such as stitching or abrasions on clothing when watching "Dune, Part 1" and seeing the distinctive markings on the Mirkwood spiders in "The Hobbit, Desolation of Smaug" - which was a bonus, for I cannot recall the spiders' markings catching my attention when using the UBP-X1100ES. Conclusion: After using my previously purchased UBP-X700 to successfully fill the needs of my primary system in the living room, I immediately purchased another UBP-X700 and put it into service in front of my treadmill. All in all, I couldn't be happier!

I do not own a 4K TV. When I started having issues with my Blu-ray player I saw the Sony UBP-X700 for a $154 I figured it would be a good idea getting this to be future proof for a 4K TV when I get one. Little did I know what a gem this unit is with all its features. Even without having a 4K TV this is a fantastic player. This player plays regular Blu-rays perfectly. The unit loads very fast and the picture and sound is great. Audio with discs with Atmos and DTS-X play perfectly on my Yamaha RX-A760BL receiver. 3D discs also work as well. This player is relatively quiet. SACD playback is awesome. I love the fact that this player will playback SACD discs flawlessly via HDMI. I had bought some DVD-Audio discs back in the day which worked on my Denon DVD-1600. The only way I could get true HD audio playback was via 5.1 RCA analog jack outputs on 1600 and 5.1 analog inputs on receiver. With this player I can get SACD playback with one cord! I have no issue saying goodbye to DVD-Audio discs though I did not have a large collection. I know the X800 has DVD-Audio disc support but frankly the X700 is better with the added Dolby Vision. The file support on this unit with both video and audio files is really amazing. This player really plays anything I have tried to play on it. Old avi files, check. h264 files, check. My newer h265 (HVEC) files, check (even 10 bit files). When it comes to audio files I have tried mp3. flac, HD flac, and DSD (*.dsf) files. They all play with no issues and sound phenomenal. With HD flac files I have tried up to 192kHz/24bit 5.4 Mbps stereo files and 96kHz/24bit 8.6Mbps 5.1 files. They all work flawlessly. When it comes to DSD files this player plays them natively perfectly. My receiver supports DSD and the files play in this format natively (not PCM). DSD files (*.dsf) via the UBP-X700 and sound awesome. I can play stereo DSD 256 files (11.2 MHz/1 bit 22.6 Mbps) and 5.1 DSD 64 files (2.8 MHz/1 bit 16.9 Mbps) with no issues and they sound fantastic. Using a USB 3.0 flash drive and Samsung T5 1TB SSD works flawlessly as well. Video and audio files play with no issues with no stuttering. I'm very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended.

The player is great - after 4 weeks of solid use it works well, It has great picture quality, and it’s easy to use. My complaint is with the seller (or Amazon; I’m not sure which). The Amazon truck brings by new blu-ray (I’m very excited - B/c my old one had a firmware update that caused it to stop working so I didn’t have a functioning player). I crawled behind my tv to hook it up and away we went. A couple of weeks later I Decide it’s time to register it. I forgot to get the number off the player so I dug the box up. Lo and behold there’s an inventory sticker smack over the label with the number. So I start to peel it up and discover it’s one of the super-sticky ones. So I’m very carefully Working it off the box, but no matter how careful and slow I’m working it’s peeling up the outside of the box AND the label with the serial number. And off comes the serial number. I tried to separate the two layers of paper, I held it up to the light to see if I could see it, I laid it back over the box to see if maybe I had scraped off enough that I could see through it. Nope. So my only options left were don’t register it (a $200 blu-ray player so I don’t think so) or crawl behind the tv again. So crawling I go. I don’t know if the sticker was originally one that peeled off easily and was old, maybe it was in a hot truck too long (I’m in Texas after all) or maybe they just use stickers that don’t peel easily. What ever the case PLEASE don’t cover the box labels with the manufacturer’s numbers with your inventory stickers. Think of your customers.

This is the latest model of the Sony X700 UHD Player, namely X700 M. This is a stunningly good 4K UHD bluray player. The Dolby Atmos and DTS X audio output on bitstream is mind-blowingly good. The video quality is jaw-droppingly awesome. The DOLBY VISION HDR output is to be seen to be believed! The image sharpness and color saturation is stunningly awesome! The player supports 110 V to 220 V inputs out of the box and you will not need a step-down 220 v to 110 v converter for this; the supplied US standard power adapter is enough. My only complaint is that the seller is FALSELY ADVERTISING the product as REGION FREE for DVD Playback and ZONE FREE for HD BLURAY Playback!! In reality this player is ZONE LOCKED and REGION LOCKED. IT IS SET TO ZONE A FOR BLURAY PLAYBACK AND REGION 1 FOR DVD PLAYBACK. YOU CAN ONLY PLAY NORTH AMERICAN BLURAY DISKS AND NORTH AMERICAN DVDs on this player!! 4K UHD BLURAY DISKS have always been non-region locked i.e. 4K UHD DISK standards do not have any concept of region locking and zone locking and never were region locked or zone locked. So it is no big deal that this player can play 4K UHD BLURAY DISKS from anywhere in the world!

O bluray é muito bom, com um design contemporâneo, clean e bonito. Quando ligado somente um Led verde indica que está funcionando. A instalação foi bastante simples, assim como a configuração inicial. A imagem gerada é de ótima qualidade. É um dos melhores aparelhos no mercado. Excelente compra.

I did a lot of research and even though Sony had a newer model it seemed like a few things with the newer model were changed that make it less useful than this version. This player is great you will need to get the proper 4k chord for it but it is a very nice out of the box plug it in and play. It has a few apps and the picture quality is absolutely amazing. I have family member with younger kids so it is nice that the front door has a lock on it so children can not play with it. This is a small feature but it is a smart idea. The wireless connection to the Internet in the house is a great feature. Making the connections was so simple it almost felt to easy. If you are looking for a good Blu Ray Player for a great price this is highly recommended.

Es un excelente producto, hasta el momento no se calienta, no hace ningun ruido incomodo, aun no lo he calado con peliculas 4k pero con bluray funciona maravillosamente, igualmente tengo unos DVD viejos y la imagen no la distorciona tanto como cualquier otro blu-ray lo haría, como menciona el comentario de abajo no trae la app de amazon video, y no se pueden añadir mas apps (cosa si tiene una pantalla sin ser smart sería puntos menos). Recomendado al 100 %. Ojo: Si tienes dvds ten en cuenta que este reproductor solo lee Region 1 los region 4 no los leera ya que es un producto de USA.

O cabo de hdmi não veio. O produto. SONY ubp-x700/bm2 Gostaria de saber o que significa BM2 ??? JÁ QUE OUTROS VENDEDORES VENDE O MESMO PRODUTO UBP X700 OU X700M. Alguém sabe informar??? Antes tinha dado 4 estrelas, mas lendo melhor o pacote o cabo HDMI não está incluso como vem em outros pacotes, mas em compensação testando ele já vem com HDR 10 e DOLBY VISIOM e som DOLBY ATMOS E DTS X. Além do idioma em português. Isso no UBP-X700/BM2.
