About the Sony UHP-H1

Jeff Miller

Sony's impact player

Sony makes some of the best "bang-for-your-buck" Blu-ray players I've seen. So when they announced they were pulling out all the stops for their UHP-H1 player, I listened up. This solid, yet compact component does almost everything, and does it well. It won't accept 4K discs, but it'll play pretty much every other kind of movie and music disc or digital file you can think of. You also have access to Netflix® and several other streaming video services. Combine all that with top-notch video and audio processing, and we're talking a high-performance addition to any serious home theater setup.

Sony UHP-H1

The Sony UHP-H1 Blu-ray player has a sturdy frame and rigid outer shell to minimize vibration and deliver pristine picture and sound.

Sony makes some of the best "bang-for-your-buck" Blu-ray players I've seen. So when they announced they were pulling out all the stops for their UHP-H1 player, I listened up. This solid, yet compact component does almost everything, and does it well. It won't accept 4K discs, but it'll play pretty much every other kind of movie and music disc or digital file you can think of. You also have access to Netflix® and several other streaming video services. Combine all that with top-notch video and audio processing, and we're talking a high-performance addition to any serious home theater setup.

This jack-of-all-trades is great for movies and shows, but your music will shine, too. A high-grade internal digital-to-analog converter ensures all your tunes sounds clear and detailed. The UHP-H1's USB port accepts thumb drives loaded with lossless and uncompressed music files, including high-resolution DSD. Plus, when you connect the player to your network via Wi-Fi, it becomes the gateway to a whole-home audio system.

Dual-band Wi-Fi means smooth video streaming...

These days I watch a lot of my favorite shows, movies, and even sports teams on streaming services. Sony's library of online apps includes Netflix, Hulu®, Amazon Instant Video, and MLB.TV. Dual-band Wi-Fi gives you a strong, quick connection, and Sony's noise reduction technology improves the quality of your streamed videos. On top of that, Miracast™ technology lets you “mirror” what you see on your smartphone or tablet on your TV's big screen — including YouTube® clips.

...and multi-room music, too

After you connect the UHP-H1, one of the first things you'll want to do is download Sony's free SongPAL™ app to your iOS® or Android™ device. The app gives you wireless access to the music stored on your phone, Pandora® Internet radio, Spotify® Connect, and even music stored on a DLNA-connected server.

The SongPAL app also gives you control over other compatible Sony speakers and components — all from the same phone or tablet. Listen to different songs in each room, or the same thing throughout the house. You can even stream audio from the UHP-H1 to other rooms.

Beam sound to headphones wirelesly via Bluetooth

The UHP-H1's built-in Bluetooth can transmit the sound of your movies, shows, and other media to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. This helps with late night binge-watching. You can catch all the dialogue and hear all the loud, exciting sound effects without waking everyone up.

Disc & USB Compatibility

Disc Compatibility: The Sony UHP-H1 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, DVD-Audio
CD CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW, SACD

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: The UHP-H1 plays Region A Blu-ray discs and Region 1 DVDs. Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material.

Firmware Updates: 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. Visit the Sony eSupport Site for the latest firmware update information.

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.

DVD-Audio: DVD-Audio is an extension of the highly popular DVD format, distinguished by its capability to deliver high quality multi-channel audio capability previously unavailable in traditional packaged audio media.

USB Port:  The front-panel USB (type-A) port allows 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 port also allows 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 High Resolution:  AIFF /ALAC /FLAC / WAV (up to 24-bit/192kHz); DSD (2.8/5.8MHz)
Compressed: MP3 / WMA / AAC (up to 48kHz/320kbps)
Video AVCHD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, WMV9, XVID
Photo JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MPO

Direct Stream Digital (DSD): Enjoy studio-quality sound thanks to the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) audio codec; designed specifically for High-Resolution Audio. This 1-bit format utilizes a stream of very high frequency 1s and 0s to recreate audio waveforms at a higher resolution than conventional codecs. The result is clearer, crisper, High-Resolution Audio quality. The Blu-ray player supports DSD 5.6MHz decoding thru BD, DVD, CD, USB, and DLNA.

Video Section

Dual HDMI Outputs: The Sony UHP-H1 Blu-ray player is equipped with two HDMI outputs. Both HDMI outputs support video (up to 4k) & audio (up to 7.1ch) signal transfer. You can choose to output the same audio/video signal simultaneously from HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 to up to two TVs. Or, you can separate the HDMI audio/video signal by sending video through HDMI 1 and audio through HDMI 2 to ensure that the video and sound quality is uncompromised, without any electrical cross-interference.

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

4K UHD Upscaling Engine: The UHP-H1's advanced 4K upscaling adapts to the source video's resolution, so you'll always enjoy the best possible picture. Experience your favorite movies in up to 4x the detail of Full HD with 4K upscaling. Connected to a compatible 4K TV, an advanced video processor inside the Blu-ray player converts standard video into a signal nearer to 4K resolution (3840 x 2160). With 8 million pixels in the picture, you get sharper, more detailed images, and the higher image quality lets you sit closer to the screen.

Advanced Color Technologies: The Sony UHP-H1 Blu-ray player features Sony's proprietary Super Bit Mapping technology, as well as supports 4:4:4 color subsampling & Deep Color.

  • Super Bit Mapping: Super Bit Mapping reduces color banding by smoothing the gradation of video signals.
  • 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: The Blu-ray player supports 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0 color subsampling. An "Auto" setting detects the connected TV type and switches to the matching color setting. With 4:4:4, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.
  • 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. 

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 UHP-H1 will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.

IP Content Noise Reduction Pro: See it all clearly with IP Content Noise Reduction PRO, a combination of picture technologies. Noise reduction enhances low-resolution web videos, while HD Reality Enhancer does pixel-by-pixel analysis for texture and color definition. Enjoy more lifelike images with improved contrast thanks to Pure Picture Control, and smooth color gradation from Super Bit Mapping

3D-Ready + 2D-3D Conversion: The Sony UHP-H1 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 UHP-H1 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.

Video Settings: The UHP-H1 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 FNR reduces the random noise appearing in a picture.

Screen Settings: The Sony UHP-H1 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

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.

I don't have an iPod but the instruction manual seems to indicate that any device with a USB Out cable would work. I have no idea about the remote. Perhaps you could read the manual or, if you don't have one, just try it.

Will I be able to enjoy HiRes/sacd quality from the analog outputs with the Sony UHPs1 player? Or do I need an AV receiver with HDMI?

I run mine through my AVR, using HDMI cables. See the manual for instructions.

The player does have left and right audio analog outputs. But that's not sufficient to enjoy the full benefit of an sacd. It does have coaxial and optical (what I'm using) cable digital outputs, though, which can be used instead of HDMI.

I do not want to " steer " you in the wrong direction, my TV has 3 HDMI inputs which I use for my 2 Blu-ray players, one input for my new Sony UHP-H1 purchased from Crutchfield. I am very pleased with it's performance . My older Sony Blu-ray is hooked into my AV system.

An SACD disc in the UHP-H1 will output 2ch stereo through the analog jacks. It will also output 2ch or multichannel DSD through the HDMI jack. So, if you want to use the player's built in D/A converter, use the analog outs (sounds terrific, btw). If your receiver supports DSD via HDMI and you want to hear the multi channel audio off the SACD, use the HDMI output. Note: not all SACD discs contain a multi channel layer. Some discs may be 2 channel only.

hi Robert sobol, I've been listening to sacd discs through hdmi via Sony uhp-s1/Onkyo Rz-800 receiver. Have not used the analog outputs though. Suggest consulting with Sony to see which is best. Best of luck, Don

But it won't play them without gaps.

The Sony UHP-H1 supports FLAC (up to 24-bit/192kHz) streaming via a DLNA certified device connected to your home network. For more details or to discuss further, feel free to reach out to an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. I hope that helps!

Will this unit play hi res files via USB WITHOUT gaps?

The player definitely supports high resolution audio (up to 24bit/192kHz) and DSD files but does not offer "gapless playback" between files. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5

Q
Will this unit play true 4K blue ray disks ? Seeing that it is a 4K upscaling unit has me asking this question! I have several 4K movies and they usually won't work in a player that only has upscaling

I have thrown just about everything else at this, but I have no true 4K BluRay disks. According to Sony's website, they claim it does. Why not contact them? All the best.
timothy  Dec 07, 2016

No it will not play 4K video. Just upscales to "like" 4K video. The picture is fantastic on my 65" Sony TV. I've read that sony is working on a 4K machine for the future. You have to have a 4K machine to play the new format. Personally, I will wait for Sony to come out with their 4K machine. Until then the UH-1 is good enough.

Unfortunately, the Sony UHP-H1 will not play 4K Blu-ray discs. It does, however, play Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray and DVD discs and it will upscale these to near 4K quality.
michael  Dec 06, 2016

This unit is upscale to 4K only. Try Samsug or play station 4.
dennis  Dec 06, 2016

I don't think it's a true 4K player so I don't know if it will play 4K blu-ray discs but to be certain you should ask someone at Crutchfield.

Hi Bill, I tried Deadpool in 4k and it did not work. Only blu ray and regular dvd seems to work fine.
don  Dec 06, 2016

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but the audio and apps are absolutely great. Have not had the opportunity to use the blu Ray yet as I don't have a 4K tv yet. Mark W.
mark  Dec 06, 2016

No. It does not play or stream actual 4k content. Only upscales HD to 4k.

Hello, can this player shuffle audio tracks from the usb? Not just random shuffle of all tracks, but from sub folders, i.e. artist, album? Thanks

Don't know, Mark. There is nothing in the manual about this. I suggest contacting Sony. Best, Don

Q
Does Output 1 only output video and Output 2 only output audio? I.e.- if desired, can Output 2 be hooked up to another monitor and/or Output 1 be hooked up to my stereo?
burleigh  Jun 23, 2016

Yes, if desired, the Output Video Signals and Audio Signals does simultaneously via both the HDMI Out 1 and the HDMI Out 2 Jack.

Hi Guys, The manual says the AV seperation mode allows you to output video signals via HDMI OUT 1 jack, and audio signals via the HDMI OUT 2 jack separately.Please contact Sony Support for info. This is one little fantastic player. Best Regards, Don Don
