Disc & USB Compatibility

Disc Compatibility: The Sony BDP-S7200 Blu-ray disc player is compatible with many disc types:

Disc Type Disc Description
Blu-ray BD-ROM, BD-3D, BD-R, BD-RE
DVD DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
CD CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW, Super Audio CD

Blu-ray Disc: Blu-ray provides these key features and advantages.

  • 1080p Video Resolution: Blu-ray disc delivers full 1080p video resolution to provide pristine picture quality.
  • 25GB/50GB Capacity: Blu-ray disc offers up to 5x the capacity of standard DVDs; 25GB for single layer disc and 50GB for dual layer disc.
  • 7.1ch Audio: Blu-ray disc provides as many as 7.1 channels of native, uncompressed surround sound for crystal-clear audio entertainment.
  • Enhanced Interactivity: Enjoy such capabilities as seamless menu navigation, bonus features, and network/internet connectivity.
  • DVD Compatible: Blu-ray disc players enable you to continue to view and enjoy your existing DVD library.

Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will not play. The BDP-S7200 is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material.

SACD: Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range - some 64 times higher resolution then CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just cannot hear on a normal CD.

Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet. Occasionally, Sony may release updated firmware for this unit that may add or improve the way a feature operates. These updates are available free of charge. This unit is capable of checking the firmware automatically when connected to the Internet via broadband connection.

Note: The tested Sony BDP-S7200 Blu-ray player contained firmware version M21.R.0112 with an immediate update for firmware version M21.R.0116 (as of 7/30/2014). Visit the Sony eSupport Site for the latest firmware update information.

Dual USB Ports:  The front- and rear-panel USB (type-A) ports allow you to play photo, videos, and music files on a connected USB device. The player can recognize Mass Storage Class (MSC) Devices that are FAT-compatible and Still Image Capture Devices (SICD) class devices. The player can recognize up to 500 folders/files. The USB ports also allow you to enjoy additional content (such as BonusView) on certain Blu-ray Disc titles. Some BD-ROMs have bonus content and other data which can be downloaded to an inserted USB Flash Drive (minimum 1 GB recommended, sold separately).

Compatible Audio/Video/Photo Formats: The Sony Blu-ray disc player supports playback of the following audio/video/photo files recorded on BD-R/RE, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs; plus compatible USB memory devices.

Media Format File Type
Audio MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC
Video AVCHD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, WMV9, XVID
Photo JPEG, GIF, PNG, MPO
Video Section

HDMI (ver.1.4): The BDP-S7200's HDMI (v.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, 1080p, or set to Auto; which selects the highest resolution accepted by your television.

Note: This player does not offer any analog audio/video outputs.

4K Upscaling: Through the HDMI output, the BDP-S7200 is capable of upscaling the resolution of your Blu-ray and DVD discs, as well as network and USB streaming content. Output options include Auto (highest resolution accepted by the TV), 4K, 1080p (60 Hz video or 24 Hz), 1080i, or 720p. If necessary the output resolution can also be set to 480p or 480i.

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-S7200 will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.

Triluminos Color: The BDP-S7200 Blu-ray player incorporates Sony's Triluminos Color technology to create a heightened sense of depth and incredibly true, natural shades of colors. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Faces look better too, with natural skin tones.

3D-Ready w/ 2D-3D Conversion: The Sony BDP-S7200 lets you enjoy 3D Blu-ray disc movies in full HD 1080p. 3D viewing requires compatible 3D content, 3D-ready HDTV, 3D emitter and glasses, and a high-speed HDMI cable (supporting at least 10.2 Gbps) connection. The Sony BDP-S7200 can also convert 2D (two-dimensional) video content into simulated 3D (three-dimensional) video when connected to a 3D-ready TV, with 3D-glasses. You can make adjustments to the 3D image depth.

Deep/x.v. 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, Auto, or Off.  The BDP-S7200 also supports x.v.Color, meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs when they become available in the future.

Screen Settings: The Sony BDP-S7200 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 Size: For 3D viewing, you will need to set the screen size of your 3D-compatible TV.
  • 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-S7200 offers the following video adjustments:

  • Picture Quality Mode: You can select from 3 preset pictures settings (Direct, Brighter, Theater, Auto, or Custom) for different lighting environment. The Custom mode lets you adjust the contrast, brightness, color, and hue manually.
  • Texture & Contrast Remaster: Texture Remaster adjusts the sharpness and detail of the edges, while Contrast Remaster automatically arranges the black and white levels so that the screen is not too dark and the image is modulated.
  • Super Resolution + Smoothing: Super Resolution improves the overall resolution of picture. Smoothing reduces on-screen banding by smoothing gradations on flat areas.
  • Clear Black: Adjusts the display of the dark elements of the image. All shading is not suppressed; it allows beautifully reproduced black tones.
  • Noise Reduction: BNR reduces the mosaic-like block noise in the picture, MNR reduces minor noise around the picture outlines (mosquito noise), and I/P NR Pro improves picture quality of streamed content.

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.

Audio Section

Surround Sound Decoders: The BDP-S7200 has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS surround processors; multi-channel PCM Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master Audio are output through the HDMI jack (when encoded on the Blu-ray Disc).

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 Neo:6: This surround sound setting outputs simulated multichannel sound from 2 channel sources via the player's HDMI output.

DSEE: The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) upscales compressed digital music files (MP3, ACC, ATRAC, and WMA) to CD quality. Restoring the high-range sound lost in the compression process, DSEE reproduces digital music in rich, natural sound, closer to the quality of the original recording.

Digital Audio Outputs: The BDP-S7200 is equipped with a coaxial (RCA) digital output. The Audio menu allows you to select the digital audio format that is passed through the coaxial digital output.

Will a 4k upscale player upscale double when coupled with a 4k tv?
gary  Dec 14, 2015
5 answers
A
The signal is double filtered first through the player then the television. Both units work independently to give the best imagery possible hence you get double the up scale ability. You truly have to see it to believe it.
ralston  Dec 16, 2015
A
The 4K TV is not broadcasting in 4K. Therefore you will see an improvement now but when 4K is operating there should be additional improvement.
jon  Dec 15, 2015
A
No. The player upscales the signal to 4K first. If you connect a non-4K player to a 4K TV, the TV will do the upscaling instead. You will want to experiment to see if your TV does a better job in your home.
jim  Dec 14, 2015

Not a 100% sure but I don't think so.
eric  Dec 14, 2015
A
mathematically the S7200 will upscale a dvd or blu- ray dvd to the limit of its algorythmn and pass that enhanced image to the television. If your TV has the capability to further enhance the signal you could see even better results

Q
Is this player HDMI-ARC capable? With no optical audio out, I hope so, but the manual is not clear on this capability.

A
Yih-Pai L, I have only had this player a few days, and with the busy-ness of the holidays, I have only explored a few of its features. I don't know the answer to your question. For what it's worth, the picture on my 1080p LCD screen is sharper than with the older Sony Blu-ray player the S7200 replaced. I feel that audio quality is improved, as well. Software is still evolving, however: two upgrades in two weeks time and still WiFi audio streaming needs improvement. I am sure Sony will get it right eventually. Good luck,
ernest l.  Dec 27, 2014
A
Yes the player is HDMI-ARC capable without an optical audio out. I connected my equipment without connecting the audio out and everything works well even though you do have the option connecting using the optical audio out it is not necessary.
ralston  Dec 25, 2014
A
Yes, the player is HDMI-ARC capable, supporting Sony's Bravia Sync standard through a high speed HDMI cable. Digital audio is provided through the HDMI interface and coaxial out connection only, with no provision provided for analogue out.
terry  Dec 24, 2014

Not sure exactly what that feature is but if I can get more details I would try it to see if the DVD is able to deliver...Please let me know if I may assist one way or another...I used it on a 4k tv and it performed great but that is about it...

A Christmas gift. Has not been opened yet, therefore unable to have my husband the expert answer without spoiling surprise. Sorry
david c  Dec 23, 2014
A
Good question. The details aren't really clear on that capability. I can tell you that I use the Bravia Sync feature on mine, which I believe uses the ARC technology to send signals back and forth with capable Sony components. "One remote controls all Bravia devices." Sorry I couldn't give you a confirmed answer but I hope this helps.
brett  Dec 23, 2014

My understanding is that it is HDMI-ARC capable. I put it that way because I personally have not tried to use this function.
