About the Sony ES UBP-X1000ES

A 4K Blu-ray player built for custom installations

Sony created their ES-series UBP-X1000ES Ultra HD Blu-ray player with custom installers in mind. So what makes this 4K player better suited for "advanced" home theater setups? For starters, the sturdy frame-and-beam chassis combines with a honeycomb-like top plate to significantly lower vibration.

A 4K Blu-ray player built for custom installations

Sony created their ES-series UBP-X1000ES Ultra HD Blu-ray player with custom installers in mind. So what makes this 4K player better suited for "advanced" home theater setups? For starters, the sturdy frame-and-beam chassis combines with a honeycomb-like top plate to significantly lower vibration.

Also, industrial-strength electrical shielding separates the video and audio circuitry for pure picture and sound. And of course, this player is designed to make Ultra HD Blu-ray discs look their best on your 4K Ultra HD TV.  

Sony ES UBP-X10000ES 4K Blu-ray player

The Sony ES UBP-X1000ES 4K Blu-ray player features off-set insulator feet that greatly reduce vibration.

High Dynamic Range gives you the richest picture yet

4K Blu-ray discs with High Dynamic Range (HDR) offer the best picture available today. And this ES-series player is ready for them. On compatible Ultra HD TVs (including these from Sony), you'll get deeply detailed picture contrast. We're talking the darkest and brightest content side by side in the same image. 

And if your 4K TV doesn't have HDR? Good news. The UBP-X1000ES uses special "HDR-to-SDR" picture processing to ensure that movies with HDR still pop on a non-HDR screen. 

Sound that pulls you into the action

The UBP-X1000ES plays nicely with the best home theater receivers, too. All the top movie sound formats are supported. You can send three-dimensional audio formats like Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X to a compatible receiver via HDMI. You'll get an engaging sound experience that's worthy of the super-crisp images you'll see on your screen. 

Sony ES UBP-X1000ES

The sturdy disc drive keeps discs spinning efficiently.

A true high-res music player, too 

A high-grade internal digital-to-analog converter ensures all your music sounds clear and detailed. The USB port accepts thumb drives you load with music files — even lossless and uncompressed formats, 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 4K video streaming...

The UBP-X1000ES offers a decent variety of streaming video services, including 4K streaming options. (Yep, that means you can watch Netflix in 4K!) Dual-band Wi-Fi gives you the strong connection needed to stream 4K wirelessly. (Keep in mind, we recommend having an internet speed of 20Mbps or faster for 4K streaming.) 

...and multi-room music, too

Along with all the streaming video goodness, this player also turns your connected home theater speakers into a wireless music hub. Download Sony's free SongPAL™ app, and control the player from your iOS® or Android™ device. The app gives you wireless access to the music stored on your phone or a DLNA-connected server, plus streaming services like Spotify® Connect.

You can also control other compatible Sony speakers and components — all from the same SongPAL app. Listen to different songs in each room, or the same thing throughout the house. You can even stream movie soundtracks or music from the UBP-X1000ES to other rooms.

Beam sound to headphones wirelessly via Bluetooth

Do you ever watch movies or shows late at night? Built-in Bluetooth can transmit the sound from this player to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. You can catch all the dialogue and hear all the loud, exciting sound effects without waking everyone up.

Disc & USB Compatibility

Disc Compatibility: In addition to support for Ultra HD Blu-ray discs the Sony ES UBP-X1000ES utilizes a Sony developed Precision HD drive to help maintain consistent performance with virtually every optical disc format, including DVD Video and DVD Audio; CD and SA-CD; and Blu-ray 3D, and BD-ROM media.

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

Ultra HD Blu-Ray: Ultra HD Blu-ray provides these key features and advantages over standard Blu-ray.

  • 4K Resolution: Ultra HD Blu-ray supports resolutions of up to 3840 x 2160 pixels. That's 4x as many pixels as Full HD televisions, and 27x as many pixels as Standard Definition televisions
  • Wider Color Gamut: Ultra HD Blu-ray can display over 75% of the visible color spectrum; this is known as "Wider Color Gamut". That's more than twice the color range of current HDTVs.
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range): Ultra HD Blu-ray also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. Dynamic range is the difference between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks on screen. HDR means that scenes with high contrast can be shown with much greater clarity and detail.
  • Smooth, Realistic Motion: Ultra HD Blu-ray supports progressive frame rates of 24, 25, 50 and 60 frames a second, enabling smoother, more realistic motion.
  • Greater Capacity & Speed: Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs will be available in a dual layer 66 gigabyte disc and a triple layer 100 gigabyte disc. Ultra HD Blu-ray can stream video up to a maximum of 108/128 Mbps for 66Gb and 100Gb discs.
  • Backward Compatible: Ultra HD Blu-ray players will play all current Blu-ray Disc & DVD content. When connected to a current HDTV television, the player will output a standard HDTV signal. Ultra HD Blu-ray players will support existing Blu-ray media, as well as provide down conversion and HDR to SDR conversion functionality to match the connected television's capabilities.

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

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 UHD 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, AVI, FLV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, MKV, WMV9, XVID
Photo JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MPO, WEBP

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 UHD Blu-ray player supports DSD 5.6MHz decoding thru BD, DVD, CD, USB, and DLNA.

Video Section

HDMI 2.0a Output + HDMI Audio Only Output: The Sony UHD Blu-ray player is equipped with dual HDMI outputs for separating audio and video signals (the HDMI Out 2 does not output video signal). The HDMI Out 1 can be used to carry both digital video and audio all in one cable, plus it supports the latest HDMI 2.0a spec. You can choose to use the HDMI Out 2 to send audio only to your A/V receiver and the HDMI Out 1 to send only video to your Ultra-HD TV. The HDMI output resolution can be set to 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or 4K.

Note: Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable with 18 Gbps and above to view 4K and HDR content optimally.

Ultra HD 4K Playback & Upscaling: With stunning UHD 4K, Sony's Ultra HD Blu-ray Player gives you 4x the resolution of full 1080p HD and boasts incredibly life-like images with a level of detail and clarity like never before. You can even upscale your favorite non-4K video content and enjoy it in 4K Ultra-HD (3,840 x 2,160) with this UHD Blu-ray Player and your Ultra HD TV.

Note: To enjoy 4K, you must have a compatible 4K television connected to the UHD Blu-ray player via HDMI.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Video: With HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, the Ultra HD Blu-ray Player delivers dynamic UHD content in exceptional quality with a greater range of color contrast and brightness, enhancing details from the original film format. Experience sharp contrasts and brightness with deeper blacks and brighter whites. HDR video signals contain up to 100x the brightness of a standard (SDR) signal, massively increasing peak brightness while retaining deep and highly detailed blacks, for an incredible viewing experience.

  • Compatible HDR Formats: This Ultra HD Blu-ray player supports HDR 10, but does not support Dolby Vision HDR.
  • HDR-to-SDR Conversion: When playing 4K HDR content on a 4K SDR television, the X1000ES utilizes a unique Sony algorithm to reproduce the proper brightness and color gradations to provide the best picture possible.

BT.2020 Color Spaces: Support for the new BT.2020 color spaces means access to a much wider range of colors than conventional TV signals offer. This ultra-wide color space means content creators can deliver much more saturated and realistic color from deep aquatic blues to natural greens and vibrant reds.

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.

3D-Ready: The Sony ES UBP-X1000ES 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.

Screen Settings: The Sony ES UBP-X1000ES Ultra-HD Blu-ray player 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.

  • 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 Sony ES UBP-X1000ES Ultra-HD Blu-ray player 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.
  • 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, while IP Content Noise Reduction enhances low-resolution web videos.

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 UBP-X1000ES will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.

Cinema Conversion Mode: The Sony Ultra-HD 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.

Rigid Chassis: The UBP-X1000ES's unique frame-and-beam chassis offers a rigid structure to eliminate micro-vibrations, as well as effective electrical shielding, so all you experience is the highest sound and picture quality.

Video & TV SideView App: With Sony's free Video & TV SideView App, you can control the UBP-X1000ES Blu-ray player and browse its content from your Apple iOS 9.0+ device or Android OS 4.4+ device. The Video & TV SideView App allows your compatible Apple iOS or Android device to act as a remote control and software keyboard for the Sony UHD Blu-ray player. You can also view disc information and search for Sony Bravia Internet apps from your compatible mobile device.

Note: The Sony TV SideView App requires that the Sony UHD Blu-ray player and your Apple iOS or Android device be connected to the same compatible network with the remote device connected through an 802.11 access point (802.11n recommended).

Custom Integration: The UBP-X1000ES provides virtually every connectivity option required for today's complex custom installations, including IP Control over CAT 5 cable or Wi-Fi networks; RS232C two-way control and IR-IN. A web browser interface is also offered, along with support for ihiji, a cloud-based network management solution used by custom installers for remote maintenance. An optional rack mount kit (WS-UBPRE1, sold separately) offers faster, easier installation.

USB Keyboard Compatible: The Sony Ultra-HD Blu-ray player also supports the connection of a USB 101 keyboard, which makes web browsing simpler.

Q
Does this player support CUE files (i.e., FLAC that encodes the whole disc, plus CUE that indexes the tracks)?
alexei  Dec 25, 2018

A
I can find no mention of it reading the .cue file that comes with FLAC album files or a mention of their being a firmware update for it. I expect you will have to split the file into separate FLAC songs to play them through this unit My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Paul

When playing SACD does it convert DSD to analog or DSD to PCM to analog?

Jason, not to be obtuse, but I don't have the technical answer. I do know that it plays whatever I put into it and does so perfectly, movies or CDs both commercial and home created . . . I just don't what is happening behind the front cover. Good luck, and BTW I'm completely satisfied, Burns

Q
What are the differences between the ubx1000es and ubpx800? I ha e the 800 now actually on my second which is a factory replacement. The first one would freeze up while playing 4k discs. The second one just started throwing up a red background on the right half on the screen while playing 4k discs. Sony has agreed to replace it again but not sure I want another 800. Either going with a 1000 or getting away Sony all togther.

Q
Does this unit output movie soundtracks in full hi resolution audio in the stereo analog outputs?
richard  May 01, 2018

Hey Hi ??, Well. Not sure about it. Probably. My thoughts are that The device is mainly designed to be used with new digital HTs. Mine is an ONKYO with DTS-X processing. Works fine. All channels are used and the sounds are well addressed to the intended drivers, speakers. So the sound source from the Sony UBP-X1000ES is perfect reproduced, just pristine sound. It works perfect with movies and music, as well as striming from the internet. Simply a perfect device if you want to get in built a serious HT or audio rig. -Sergio-

That's really a question for Sony. We're not using the analog outputs in our configuration

Q
Do the apps (Netflix, Amazon) use bitstream audio out or does the unit process the audio and send a multi-channel output to the AVR?
colin  Dec 30, 2017
1 answer
A
You have the option to turn audio mix settings on or off. When turned on interactive and secondary audio input is mixed with primary. When set to off Bitstream goes directly to home AV receiver. Set BD audio mix to off and Digital to auto and you will get multi to the AV

Hi. No. But, the image quality is superb. It is excellent as well as the audio it reproduces. Even streaming the image is improved. It compress the video so well that it looks like 4K even if the source doesn't.

Q
Do the apps (Amazon, Netflix support HDR, or just 4k SDR? Also, does this feature a source direct mode so it plays the source disk resolution without any scaling? Thanks
greg  Sep 05, 2017
1 answer
A
The player will support HDR content from both Netflix & Amazon, yes. It only provides one output setting for 4K (3840 x 2160). You will find this information, and more, by clicking the "Details" tab on the player's main webpage and scrolling down below the "Features & Specs" table. I hope that helps.

Q
Do you need a 4K compatible Receiver for transmitting 4K Audio and Video? My older HDMI Sony receiver is hooked to my Sony bluray player via HDMI so concerned if I upgrade to 4K player output wouldnt work? Thanks
jim  Jul 28, 2017

A
I'm not sure if your receiver will pass a 4K signal. I upgraded my receiver at the same time I added the X1000ES. However, my Samsung TV is only 1080 HD, and it displays a 4K DVD in 1080 HD resolution from the X1000ES through my 4K capable receiver.
robert  Jul 29, 2017

I have a Sony ES AV receiver (2014) with HDMI ports, I think 2 of the output ports to the TV are 4K capable, the other ports 1080. It will work regardless of signal, its if 4K max signal output is made to a 4K TV. Make sure you have a good HDMI 4K cable. .
