Video Section

HDMI 1.4: The BDP-S3700's HDMI 1.4 output simplifies A/V connections by carrying video and digital audio in one cable. The HDMI resolution can be fixed at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, or set to Auto, which selects the highest resolution accepted by your television.

  • Precision Cinema HD Upscaling: Through the HDMI output, the BDP-S3700 is capable of upscaling the resolution of your standard DVDs. Output options include Auto (highest resolution accepted by the TV), 1080p (60 Hz video or 24 Hz), 1080i, or 720p. If necessary the output resolution can also be set to 480p or 480i. You can also choose to bypass the Blu-ray player's scaler, so the source material's original resolution is passed to your connected TV.
  • 24p Output: Movies are typically recorded on film with a frame rate of 24 frames per second. When a movie is transferred to Blu-ray Disc at 24 frames per second the BDP-S3700 will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.
Note: This player does not offer any analog audio/video outputs.

Advanced Color Technologies: The Sony BDP-S3700 Blu-ray player features Sony's proprietary Triluminos Color technology, as well as supports Deep Color.

  • Triluminos Color: The BDP-S3700 incorporates Sony's Triluminos Color technology to provide a wider color gamut with rich, authentic color and a far more natural viewing experience with a heightened sense of depth.
  • Deep Color: The Sony Blu-ray player supports a color depth of up to 12 bits. Connecting the player and a TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI allows more accurate color reproduction than when connecting it to a TV that does not support Deep Color. The Deep Color function can be set to 10-bit, 12-bit, 16-bit, Auto, or Off. 

Screen Settings: The Sony BDP-S3700 features the following screen settings:

  • TV Type: You can select a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio for the unit's video output to match your connected Television's screen aspect ratio.
  • Screen Format: You can select the display configuration for a 4:3 screen picture on a 16:9 wide screen television. You can choose Full or Normal (select when connected to a TV with a wide mode function; displays a 4:3 screen picture in 16:9 aspect ratio even on a wide-screen TV) or Normal (changes the picture size to fit the screen size with the original picture aspect ratio).
  • DVD Aspect Ratio: You can select the display configuration for playback of 16:9 screen pictures on a 4:3 screen TV. You can select from Letter Box or Pan & Scan.

Video Settings: The BDP-S3700 offers the following video adjustments:

  • Picture Quality Mode: You can select from 3 preset pictures settings (Standard, Brighter, Theater) for different lighting environment.
  • BNR: Reduces the mosaic-like block noise in the picture.
  • MNR: Reduces minor noise around the picture outlines (mosquito noise)

Cinema Conversion Mode: The Sony Blu-ray player offers two Cinema Conversion Modes - (1) Auto mode automatically detects whether the material is video-based or film-based, and switches to the appropriate conversion method. (2) The Video mode is suited for video-based material and will always be selected regardless of the content.

BonusView: The BonusView feature provides picture-in-picture capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view addition content (such as director/actor commentary) in a small display window while the movie is playing.

Dolby Digital Plus also includes the standard Dolby Digital bit stream and is compatible with all current Dolby Digital processors using the coaxial digital output.

  • DTS-HD High Resolution Audio: DTS-HD High Resolution Audio supports a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-channel surround. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with a lossy compression.
  • DTS-HD Master Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps and uses lossless compression (Lossless), and DTS-HD Master Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch.

dorothy  Jan 10, 2021

There is an answer on/at Amazon that says that it is not region free. I think I tried playing a German Blu-ray and it didn't work. BUT... many Blu-ray players can play all areas for DVD's. This one, probably, for DVD's should.

stephen  Dec 11, 2020

A
Yes, The BDP-S3700 also has a Coaxial Digital Output as well as the HDMI. use the HDMI for your TV and the Digital audio for your receiver.
howard  Dec 16, 2020
A
With no HDMI input you probably can not do the digital hook up. In my case I upgraded the receiver as well as the DVD so I did not have this problem. Crutchfield's experts would be the best source for the best answer. Hope this helps
bernard  Dec 16, 2020
A
I believe you can run the HDMI direct to your TV for video and use the digital audio output through your receiver for the audio.

All the Blu-ray models we currently carry are compatible with Region A Blu-ray discs and Region 1 DVDs. I'm afraid we don't have any multi-region players available at this time.

Can I access You Tube through this DVD player? And, do I have to buy a subscription to You Tube or any other internet video service when using this device?

If u have a smart TV u can access YouTube. I watched YouTube music videos and it was easy to use.
joyce  Jan 04, 2017
A
Hi Michael, You can access YouTube on the Sony BDP-S3700 with no subscription if you have Internet. The device works well 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time, the device freezes-up (buffering) during viewing youtube. I went from wireless to wired with an expensive cable with no improvement. Its kind of a trade-off, you get to watch youtube on your TV except you must accept buffering. And i have Comcast high speed internet.Maybe think about buying a different brand of Blu-ray player.
daniel  Jan 03, 2017
A
Yes, YouTube is a built in app. Any streaming service that requires a subscription still requires one with this device. To use Amazon prime you need an Amazon prime account. Same with Netflix, etc.
mark  Jan 03, 2017
A
As long as you have the player connected to your wireless router, yes you can access YouTube at no cost with no subscription needed. Make sure you check and update the player's firmware update because Sony has had some problems in the past on this player with YouTube functionality. As for other streaming services, some are free, such as basic Hulu and some are fee-based, like Netflix.
