It works, I'm certain there are better choices.
Mr P from Bedford, TX on 4/24/2021
The Good: It works, delivering great video and audio. I bought this to replace an old Sony that stopped supporting Youtube. The Bad: Recent DVD playback, the video briefly froze three times. I changed some settings from 'auto' to better match my TV, hopefully that will remedy that problem. The unit has one display: the tiny power on green dot. It is slowest DVD player ever, you just keep pressing play and hope it finally responds. Sometimes it never responds; so power off, power on, and try again. There are no software upgrades and doubt there ever will be. Bottom Line: If I had it to do over, I'd buy Panasonic DP-UB820.

Audio issues
Crutchfield customer from Cleveland, TN on 2/12/2021
Picture quality is great with the 4k up sampling. Disappointed that 24 bit audio is output at only 16 bit (measured with Ozone 8 bitscope) when down mixed to stereo. High definition audio files are output 24 bit fortunately. Apparently 24 bit audio tracks are only through HDMI to a surround processor or receiver, not a stereo D/A converter.
Pros: Video is great.
Cons: Needs surround sound system for best audio resolution.

Crutchfield customer from San Diego, CA on 2/6/2021
For an entry-level UHD DVD player, this player performs very well. It seems to upscale Blu-Ray and standard DVD's as promised. I like the simplicity of the front panel and the quick boot-up of movies played on it. It interacts directly with my Sony TV to turn it on and off when I turn the DVD player on or off.
Pros: Simple Smart Works as promised
Cons: No LED indicator panel

If you have a Sony blu-ray, you'll feel right at home with the remote and menu layout, and general operation. Crutchfield price matched this unit for me, and it was painless, kudos!
Pros: Great picture Ease of use
Cons: Wish the remote was larger.

Home Theater player/cd player
Crutchfield customer from New Market, AL on 2/1/2021
I bought this player to use in the living room as a Blue Ray/4K player on my home theater. I decided on it because I bought its big brother as player on my two channel set up based on its SACD capabilities. This one also has the ability to play SACD but is a little noisy if you're wanting to sit down and enjoy music. It's excellent for movies though. And if you're just playing music to clean to or have as background it's great.
Pros: Seems to produce a fantastic picture and has plenty of options.
Cons: A little noisy when listening to music but not terrible.

Great, reasonably-priced player.
Crutchfield customer from Santa Fe, NM on 1/24/2021
It works great, and I have no complaints. Few players these days have fancy features to make them really stand out. The big advantage this player has is the dual HDMI out, for when I setup a proper theater system. Past that, the movies I've watched look and sound great. The setup was simple, it boots up fast enough for my purposes, and it's easy to operate.

I had older LG DVD player (10 yrs old minimum) started to act up. I do not play DVD/cd's often, have great receiver/speaker set up, but did not want a pricey DVD player. With advice from Crutchfield rep I settled on this model. What I thought was DVD discs wearing out, when played on new unit the clarity/vividness and sound was fantastic. Very happy with purchase.

Great quality player, versatile capabilities
Matt from Coplay, PA on 1/5/2021
This is a great quality player. You need to have a 4k tv, 4k hdmi cable, and a 4k blu ray dvd in order to fully see and hear the difference in the audio and video quality difference if you are upgrading from a DVD player, or you stream often. I love watching action movies on this player with my tv. It's easy to setup and use, but as a professional, experienced AV Technician I appreciate the in-depth audio and video settings within this player that I can customize to my liking. I like the separate outputs for audio and video, so I can use it for a TV, or for a projector and sound system if I ever want to use this player in a dedicated home theater. I enjoy this player a lot so far.
Pros: Audio/Video Quality, separate audio/video outputs option, heavily customizable
Cons: None so far

So far (a few weeks), excellent video quality and good audio quality. Disappointed it will not play multi-channel DTS-Audio (why not, Sony?). The build quality leaves me somewhat disappointed. I feel like I must handle it with kid gloves or it will shatter. Way too much plastic.

Crutchfield customer from WALLKILL, NY on 12/30/2020
I have this blu-ray player paired with a Sony X720E television. Outstanding picture quality even with my old DVD's of classic films. The only small glitch I have noticed is it occasionally hangs when playing a music CD. I rarely play music on this device, so it is not a big deal. It seems to particularly happen if I put in a music CD immediately after turning it on, instead of waiting a few minutes. I haven't bothered spending more time troubleshooting the issue. This device is still well worth its price.

Delivers adequate watching experience but crashes a lot
Gavin from Colorado on 12/18/2020
I've had this product now for a total of ~1800 hours of play time. Since November 2018. Here is my honest review. The Positive: This device has Hulu, Amazon Video, Netflix, and Youtube. So they do cover the basics. It plays movies as expected, you can stream as expected, and the remote is small. That's about where it ends. The Negative: This device crashes a lot. You could be watching a streaming service or playing a movie and it will freeze and crash for no apparent reason. And the only way to reset it is to wait 10-15 minutes or unplug it. You cannot turn it off in this state by the remote. It is incredibly annoying. This is apparently a known issue Sony has acknowledged but continues to release products with this defect. They've had many years to fix it but there is no fix yet as far as I know. Another issue which is slightly less annoying is that pressing the power button or opening the disc tray takes a moment to register on the device. So if you're used to things "just working" you might be a little frustrated with this. The software is dated and does not include Disney+ or anything that's common in 2020 for smart TV's or the like. Sony did not do a good job updating their software or services. Conclusion: I would not recommend this device or anything in this line. The more expensive Sony models may be fine. Overall it may be better to go Panasonic at this price point?
Pros: 1. Performs okay and provides movie or streaming watching experience as one would expect 2. Has Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, Youtube, Spotify, and Pandora 3. Easy to set up
Cons: 1. Crashes a lot 2. Response to remote commands are sluggish 3. Does not offer Disney Plus 4. Patches for the device are quite rare

NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY!!!
Dan from Stanton on 12/2/2020
Paid this much for this piece of junk and it is worse than my $60 bluray player from Sony that I bought 4 years ago. I gave it away when I "upgraded" to this one. Plays 4k blurays as you would expect. But if it has a finger print or a small scratch it skips an entire part of the movie. A finger print!!! My $60 bluray player would have played without issue. Another issue is I can't scroll through Netflix without the screen going black every few seconds. Makes it unusable. This player is not worth buying at all. If you don't use streaming services at all and only want to use for the player this is just an okay bluray player.
Pros: Plays NEW disc's fine.
Cons: Streaming services don't work as it should Won't play disc's with imperfections.

Sony and Crutchfield - Great Value Twins
Steve from Midlothian, VA on 12/1/2020
What a perfect match to my recently purchased Sony XBR55A9G!!! Simplicity in set-up and use is exceeded with fantastic picture and sound quality that delivers a real 4K movie experience with Dolby technology that only improves the experience. Trust the Crutchfield expert on his own purchase of this one - it's not just an impulse buy but a great value for the money! And here's another reason to buy from Crutchfield - their 60 day price-match/return guarantee is the best. After purchasing the UBP-X700 and the XBR55A9G on sale during November, I found better prices for both on Cyber Monday. And although the service rep was clear with me that they could not price match for Black Friday through Cyber Monday prices, she offered to check to see if they could get me a better deal. In just a few minutes, she returned to the phone to offer an additional $29.70 off of the BluRay and $299.79 off of the TV!!! And rather than a store credit with these discounts, they posted the bucks back to my credit card. Two high value products purchased at great prices from a dealer who really cares about customer service and high quality products. That's a great reason to support our local small business owners/operators!!!!
Pros: Product performance All the features needed for great movie viewing experience Simplicity in set-up and use Highly valued customer and product service from Crutchfield Crutchfield policies deliver on price guarantee
Cons: None

USB Port Does Not Support ATMOS Content
Gary from SOUTH PASADENA, CA on 11/29/2020
I spent weeks working with tech support in trying to figure out why this player freezes when playing high resolution movies via the USB input port. But the biggest show stopper for me is that the unit will not play ATMOS encoded movies via the USB port, and will switch over to the lower audio quality Dolby 5.1 file. My understanding is that a firmware update is all that is needed to enable ATMOS content to be played via the USB port but I cannot get this to work. I may have to upgrade to the more expensive Sony UBP-X1100ES player to see if I have better luck. Other than the problems I listed, it is otherwise a very good player and will even play SACDs which is an added plus.

Disappointing performance
Nicholas from Renton, WA on 11/25/2020
Unit started to have issues just over a year of ownership. I've probably used this blu-ray player around 20 hours total. The blu-ray player would freeze within an hour of watching a disk or using streaming services. When watching a movie it would become completely unresponsive (freeze) and would need to be manually power cycled. After it was power cycled it would continue to freeze and even faster, within 10 minutes or less. The unit was a few days out of warranty and Sony support was not helpful at all. I did purchase a Square Trade warranty, but according to Square Trade this falls under "normal use" and was not covered. I love Crutchfield, but I would advise to be wary of this player and Square Trade extended coverage. The player was great when it worked, but the freezing and Sony support was a disappointment.

It worked fine - until it didn't
Michael from Arnold, MO on 10/31/2020
This blu ray player worked fine until it didn't work. It had occasional freeze-up issues, but overall I was pleased with the picture - Dolby Vision - and sound quality. However, it died when it was less than 2 years old. I turned it on one day and all I got was a black screen with the Sony logo. The unit began powering itself on and off. Sony support suggested having the unit repaired. That didn't seem worth it. Given that it lasted less than two years, I cannot recommend purchasing this unit.
Pros: Good picture - Dolby Vision - and good sound quality.
Cons: Less-than-optimum build quality. No front display. Occasional freeze-up issues. It died when it was less than two years old.

Excellent upscaling of DVDs
Greg from Bellevue, WA on 10/14/2020
We're very happy with this player. Though our 4K TV did a fine job of upscaling blu-ray to 4K, DVDs looked pretty bad. Compression artifacts seemed to be exaggerated compared to watching them on the old HD set. We were still using a 10yo Sony blu-ray player, an early budget model. This player, though, does a FANTASTIC job of upscaling DVDs. They look a little soft of course, but otherwise look great.
Pros: Excellent upscaling of DVDs
Cons: Has a cheap, almost toylike apparent build quality, but that's not important.

Crutchfield customer from Mechanicsburg, PA on 9/26/2020
This is second Sony UBP-X700 I've bought for my household, so that should tell you what I think of it. It's compact and does everything it's supposed to do very well. That's expected though of course. The thing I was most impressed with was how great it did at up-scaling old DVDs from 90's and early 2000's to look a lot better. It's a great 4K Blu-ray Player!

Sony UBP-X700
Crutchfield customer from Paducah, KY on 8/30/2020
This unit represents very good value for the features it provides. It even includes a printed manual, which "old schoolers"like myself think should be standard. This rating reflects its category, since obviously there are choices with even more features, etc. I chose it after considerable research. Interestingly, 2 Crutchfield techs with whom I spoke also had purchased this same unit because of its value.
Pros: Good value. Small footprint. Printed manual.
Cons: Tiny remote. Not as "substantial " as one might wish.

Excellent all the way around
Derek from FRISCO, TX on 8/13/2020
Working as advertised. I expected it to do well with UHD 4K movies and it does. We are using it on a new XBR-900H TV. What really has surprised us is how well it upscales older DVDs. An example, the kids put the Sound of Music in and I thought they had bought the movie again on Blue-ray-haha. I could tell it wasn't quiet 4K but the picture quality was far above a DVD.
Pros: -excellent UHD 4K -loads quickly -excellent upscaling of DVDs
Cons: None

Astounding Picture Quality
Crutchfield customer from Newport Beach, CA on 7/19/2020
The picture quality is astounding! This replaced an 8 year old Blu-Ray/DVD player that passed on. I have a 60" screen and had no idea I wasn't getting the best image quality from my Blu-ray Discs. Everything is upsampled including DVDs (I know...old school) and the image quality is so crystal clear! Definitely worth the price. Very easy setup too! Audio quality is great as well.
Pros: Amazing Picture Quality

Amazon App Does Not Work and No Fix Available
Crutchfield customer from Port Townsend, WA on 7/18/2020
Amazon App stalls to a point of usability due to a squabble between Amazon and Sony. Our main use is Netflix, Amazon, with an occasional DVDs/Blu-rays, so this won't work. It would have been good to know that Sony's Amazon app will have periodic reloading every 5 minutes or so prior to purchase, but these blatant sort of defects are not publicized these days. In fact, this was triggered by a killer update on its Samsung predecessor, which killed a good chunk of its customer base's blu-rays. Like Sony, Samsung also did not publicize they killed a chunk of their customer base, so many folks are just buying new equipment. We really need to bring at least a token of manufacturing back in house to try to preserve a semblance of customer focus as these corporate cultures are not really conducive to concepts of authenticity, transparency, and democracy.
Pros: Plays Blu Ray and Netflix.
Cons: Amazon App doesn't work and will not work due to a tiff between Sony and Amazon. Worse, they are completely quiet about it and my Googling makes it apparent someone has scrubbed the news quite thoroughly

JUDY from Elizabethton on 7/10/2020
Installed Sony UPB-X700 on 7/8/2020. We already had a very good HDMI cable on hand to use with it. We have Netgear router for the wifi. EASY, EASY, EASY to set up, just attached HDMI cable and the enclosed AC power adapter, turned unit on, and it went through automatic setup. Seems to work great (with blu-rays). Have not tried with 4K blu-rays or reg DVD yet. We are using this player with a Panasonic Viera TC-P65VT25 PLASMA 65" 3D TV. We purchased this on sale. Looked at other less expensive Sony models. This had a good review online, so went with it. So far, very pleased. I purchased the Crutchfield SquareTrade Electronics warranty 3 year protection plan, seemed like a better price than other companies.

So Far it has been a GREAT video player. Great Picture and sound while playing DVD, Blu-RAY Disc Movies.Fast Loads, easy to Navigate and No Reboots or hiccups. Have not tried UHD Disc as of yet. As many have stated in their reviews, this is not a Good player for Audio Disc. My Computer leaves this in the dust when playing CD's. Worth the price for video.
Pros: GREAT Picture, Fast Load Times, Easy to Navigate
Cons: Audio CD Playback is Bad.

Works great, but a few indicators on the front wouldn't hurt
Crutchfield customer from Yamhill, OR on 6/15/2020
Very compact, quiet, fast-loading player. Currently using it only for CD's as part of a bedroom system, but will upgrade to blurays once TV purchased and installed. My only minor quibble is that there is ZERO display on the unit itself, other than the power indicator. It would be nice to have a simple dimmable LED showing track, time etc. As others have noted, the remote is very small, but I've had no problems operating it with my large hands.
Pros: Small footprint - works well for a bedroom system Quiet Fast-loading
Cons: ZERO indicators on front, other than a tiny green power LED

Great 4K Blu-ray player so far
Crutchfield customer from San Francisco, CA on 6/10/2020
I have only watched a few movies with this player and would normally given a rating between 4-5 based on lack of use. So far it has been fast and presents wonderful picture on my 4K Samsung TV. I haven't challenged the sound capability yet.
Pros: Fast, responsive and wonderful picture (especially compared with my old Oppo BDP-83 player).
Cons: I had trouble connecting with Ethernet and had to settle on Wifi connection.

Does not play regular DVD's
Walt from Germantown, WI on 2/7/2020
I purchased a Sony 4 K TV 65X900F and a UBP-X700 Player. I am not happy. The 4 K movie played fine, but regular DVD's was another story. The only way they would play was with big black bars on the side, WIDE didn't work and ZOOM was no good. The other problem was, the player would go on automatically, but after using it, would not return to regular programming, that is, sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't. I put my old reliable player back in. This is the first Sony product I am not happy with.
Pros: Played 4 k movie great
Cons: Could not find it's way back to regular programming and black bars on regular DVD's

Very happy with the Sony UBP-X700
Rowland from SCHENECTADY, NY on 2/4/2020
I purchased the Sony UBP-X700 after buying a Sony a9g OLED tv. My old standard DVD player didn't cut it on the new tv. My old DVDs looked grainy and I wouldn't be able play blu ray or 4K ultra HD discs. The Sony UBP-X700 solved both issues. My old DVDs now look much better on the new tv, and blu ray / 4K discs look amazing. I like that the UBP-X700 has a smaller footprint - takes up little room in entertainment center. It doesn't have any display on it, which is one reason I gave only 4 stars. But I'm getting used to lack of display and it's not a big deal. I also like the small remote which is about 1/2 the size of other remotes. This makes it easy for me to tell the difference between it and other remotes in my collection. Additionally, my Sony TV remote will control most of the DVD player functions. It has the capability to stream direct from internet, but my tv already does that, so it's redundant. I wish I didn't have to pay for that feature, but I think it's standard on newer DVD players. Overall, I am very happy with the Sony UBP-X700!

A piece of junk_ Do not buy it> Bought one in August 27-2019 and it already broke. Second piece of Sony junk- blu ray player that has broken in same fashion. Anddd Crutchfield will not replace it. Must call Sony and get run around> Asked for copy of receipt and Crutchfield sends a copy with the price marked out> Sony needs a receipt with the price I paid for it> Will not buy Sony again or anything from Crutchfield BC both have lost their glory since the 80-90s when they began.
Pros: it worked for 4 months- if you can afford to buy a new one each 4 months good luck
Cons: it is junk- second one that broke. stops in middle of bluray and says no blu ray is there.same thing happens to the one guy below on 12-4-2019 in NC> harrrisonburg, NC. so what the hck is going on. it is junk. Crutchfield u need to return $$ and take thecrap back and u deal with SONY thieves. with more than one person complaining- u know iti s junk and defective. going ot contact my countys consumer affairs. it is only 2 months past your return policy. and u know it is junk. liars.

The Sony UBP-X700 an outstanding Audio/Video playback device
Crutchfield customer from Bellbrook, OH on 1/16/2020
The Sony UBP-X700 was one of the easiest new Video/Audio components to set up that it has ever been my pleasure to connect to my audio/video system and use. After just a few minuets I was ready to start viewing. And man Oh man was I in for a jolt, not only did my new Blue-ray discs come alive but my many years older DVD were better than ever. The colors were now brighter and more vibrant as for the sound, clean and clear sounding better than that produced by my old DVD player. If I were in the market for an entire new discreet component Video/Audio home entertainment system the Sony UBP-X700 coupled to the Onkyo Audio/ Video receiver model TX-NR686 would be the top of my list for Blue-Ray, and DVD playback device.

This unit works well with HD as well as 4K (I suppose-haven't bought the 4K yet.) It does not work well with older HTR units. When I connected the audio out HDMI to my Onkyo TX NR 905 the Sony would not connect to my wireless. I had to disconnect my Home theater system and use the TV speakers in order to acquire wireless (&Netflix, etc). I suspect a new HTR is in my future although I love my Onkyo which does work well with a Sony PS3. Crutchfield was helpful and even sent out a new unit - great service as always.

Great player, when it works.
Tiemen from TUCSON, AZ on 1/3/2020
It's a great player, when it works. And that's the problem with this unit, it's hit or miss but the reviews of this player are littered with reports of freezing during playback, often requiring the user to unplug the device and restart it completely. Sony is aware of the issue but has been unable (unwilling?) to address it. Their only remedy is to keep mailing out replacements in the hope you receive a less faulty specimen.
Pros: Elegant design, clean menu design, excellent features
Cons: Unreliable

Great DVD player
Crutchfield customer from Brea, CA on 12/15/2019
Purchased to update an old DVD player, this Sony model does the job better and with more features. There is no display on the front of the unit other than a green light indicating whether the unit is on or off. The remote is quite robust in features and allows for activation of many TV models. I was replacing a model that had no HDMI output (shows how old that unit was in electronic history). This Sony has two main outputs: both HDMI...audio only and video/audio. It also contains apps/internet stations for your "non smart" TV to enter this century...a surprise...did not know prior to purchase. Knowing that most watchers are doing the "streaming thing", this purchase may be a waste of money; however, with my collection of movies I wanted a unit to play them. This Sony plays all software combinations of movies and audio CDs. The small footprint and complete remote capability will not disappoint you. A full display of features are visible on the TV without the need to squint looking at a small display on the box. It was simple to attach to an AV receiver and produces an excellent picture with various aspect ratios. The price point is terrific.
Pros: Ease of installation/small footprint/full featured remote control/price point
Cons: Minor: no display on the unit itself--just a green light for on/off

Crutchfield customer from Plano, TX on 11/23/2019
Excellent budget player with upscaling to 4k but apps options are lacking. This player works well with Sony tv and soundbar combination. I like how the Sony tv auto selects this player when you turn on the player.
Pros: Syncs well with Sony tv and soundbar
Cons: Apps selection lacking. I'm looking for Haystack TV but couldn't find it in the player options.

Odd
Crutchfield customer from Norman, OK on 11/12/2019
This unit appears to be very sensitive when it comes to the HDMI cable. The cable I had been using will wrok with all of my components except this player. Veryr difficult to figure this out and without the help of Crutchfield tech support I never would have found this. With a different HDMI the unit is working fine.
Pros: Play is working fine with wi fi and Dolby Atmos
Cons: Never would have found that that particulat HDMI cable would not work with this player. Very odd as I am using this same HDMI to connect a differnet component with no problems.

Sony UBP-X700
Guest from Rutland, VT on 10/29/2019
After my last player finally died, I purchased this unit to replace it and "upgrade". The first thing I noticed was how much faster it loaded than my previous Sony. Yes the video is excellent but the sound is what really impressed. I've also played hi res cds through it and was really impressed. Solid unit, remote sucks hard, a couple of lock ups do far after only a month but I'm hopeful. Great player for the price.
Pros: Sound! And picture, plays most media
Cons: Remote, glitches

I bought this for the sole purpose of playing sacd. The sound is great for the price point.
Pros: SACD playback on the cheap.
Cons: No visuals during playback. I've come to expect video wallpapers while listening to music on my Apple TV and it would be nice to have some options here.

Part time memory
Crutchfield customer from Phoenix, AZ on 9/18/2019
It works part time, you have to reset start up info nearly every other time you use it. Seems like it can't remember your settings. Sony walked me through and it worked one but the next time it lost the settings again. After you get it working it works fine ,just the first time you want to use it!
Pros: Works fine after you get it started
Cons: Someting wrong with its memory

Best 4K Blu-Ray Player
Crutchfield customer from Annapolis, MD on 8/29/2019
What a bargain on this 4K Blu-Ray player that was rated #1 by Wire Cutter. Set-up was a breeze and the picture is amazing! If you have a 4K TV set then you should take advantage of all your set has to offer when playing 4K Blu-Ray DVD's. It is breath taking! Also, up-scales all other DVD's to look better than ever!
Pros: Price, HDR, Dolby Vision and ease of set-up
Cons: none

Sony UBP-X700
Eric from Bloomington, IN on 8/3/2019
I had a Oppo 203 and in a pinch I was forced to sell the 203 especially since the 203 price went through the roof after Oppo closed shop. The Sony X700 was what I replaced the Oppo with since it was so cheep and it has Dolby Vision . It is a great player for HDR picture quality. It has SACD capacity which was important to me. The build is super cheep and plain with no digital readout which I miss. It does have apps but I use Apple TV so I don't need it in a player. I want to upgrade to a better player soon just because I feel this is a better Bedroom player and not a main HT player.
Pros: SACD DOLBY VISION APPS Small footprint
Cons: Cheep build quality No digital display Crappy remote On screen displays are ugly and plain

This id the ONE for FEATURES and VALUE
Crutchfield customer from Menomonee Falls, WI on 7/20/2019
Excellent choice for a BD player. PROS: easy-to-setup player configuration and update on initial power-up only took about 10 minutes nice compact footprint wi-fi connectivity discs load times fairly quick Dolby Vision support remote also controls tv convenient nav keypad at top of remote rather than bottom CONS: poor dashboard with little to no customization mostly useless menu tiles and very limited selection device has brief timeout when empty tray is open (powers off) occasional streaming lockups (ie, Netflix) cannot return/resume without complete power cycle BOTTOM LINE: I compared many choices available, and the UBP-X700 definitely provides the superior "bang for the buck" in terms of features for the price. The folks at Crutchfield can answer any other questions you may have and make the process awesome!
Pros: easy-to-setup player configuration and update on initial power-up only took about 10 minutes nice compact footprint wi-fi connectivity discs load times fairly quick Dolby Vision support remote also controls tv convenient nav keypad at top of remote rather than bottom

Wahoooooo!!
Crutchfield customer from Boston, MA on 7/7/2019
Wow..Talk about a pleasant surprise! This isn't the most expensive, gee whiz player, but Good Grief! The number of apps that one can access from it is startling. I wasn't prepared for the pleasure I have received not having to access the apps via C*m*a*s*! So much easier and less tweaky!! And it plays Blu-Rays, DVD's and everything else with no glitches...My old BluRay would reject every fifth or sixth offering from Netflix prompting me to get this one...Thanks--By the By .....What "Scratch and Dent" . It's in perfect shape....Wahooooo!!
Pros: Everything from price to performance.....
Cons: Haven't found a single one....I'll keep you up to date ;)

Sony 4K BluRay
Crutchfield customer from New Smyrna, FL on 6/27/2019
I was impressed with the picture quality and the increase in speed over my several year old Samsung BluRay player. It would have gotten 5 stars but after a week it started to freeze up occasionally that required unplugging to turn it off. After plugging it back in it worked for a while and then repeated itself. It is probably just a bad unit and Crutchfield's great customer service sent a replacement out the same day I called.
Pros: great picture and speed of operation
Cons: Had a malfunctioning unit but was quickly replaced by Crutchfield

Great Player, Great Service!
Crutchfield customer from Kissimmee, FL on 6/12/2019
The Sony UBP-X700 is a very good player. It sends a beautiful 4K picture to our Sony TV. Its remote also turns on the TV when you you turn on the player. Sony's top of the line player also turns the soundbar off and on with the TV and the player with the player's remote. Since this set is in our den, my wife felt we didn't need to spend the extra money just for that one added feature. It has a good wireless connection for apps such as Amazon. And the folks at Crutchfield are the best in customer assistance and service. All of my orders from them have come well packaged for shipping. Sony products and Crutchfield service, it doesn't get any better!!!

Beware and don't buy
Marc from Everett, WA on 4/7/2019
Absolute garbage. Had the unit since September, worked OK (occasionlly would freeze up) until around December. It began to not recognize the remote. We had to unplug the power for it to reset. Now it won't play Blu-Rays, go to Netflix. If I could give it zero stars I would. Of course it went bad over 60 days from purchase. Won't be buying from Sony again.
Pros: cheap
Cons: cheap and will stop working.

Easy set up (but you really only need HDMI 1 - don't know why the separate HDMI 2); 4K upgrades look great; tested SACDs, CDs, DVDs, Blue Ray, they all look and sound great. Picked up my Wi-Fi network immediately. Only problem I've found is that my cable remote turns on the Sony as well as the TV which then supersedes the cable in put. Working on that, but very pleased with the overall performance of the player.

Sony UBP-X700
Crutchfield customer from Colleyville, TX on 3/27/2019
This replaced an aging Samsung BluRay player that had become increasingly more cranky. I still get disks from NetFlix, so what gets put into it is often of unknown age, use (or abuse). More and more frequently I would have disks that would hang and skip during playback, or just refuse to play at all even though they were just released and it may have been the first time they had been played. Maybe they had a new protection scheme, or the laser was getting finicky, but in any case it was time for a replacement. This new Sony starts up way faster, delivers excellence picture quality, although I'm not using it for either 3D or 4K at this point. It has no issue even on disks I had not been able to play on my previous unit.
Pros: Excellent picture quality (HD use only so far) Plays disk my previous player would not Opens, closes, starts, and generally responds much faster that I was used to. Smaller, and appears to run cooler than my old unit.
Cons: No elapsed time display. While this is less of an issue when the disk does not hang during replay, it would have been nice to see how much time was left in a movie.

Great Player!
Crutchfield customer from Akron, PA on 3/25/2019
Great li'l disc player! I went with this model since I could upgrade the firmware for Dolby Vision. That was a pretty easy process. It would be nice if the player could automatically sense if it's Dolby Vision media, but one step at a time, I guess. Hopefully that will be with another upgrade. Since I have a Roku TV I didn't setup the streaming options for this player, but everything else was a breeze, so I imagine that would be too. The small footprint is a plus also. Works great with my TV!
Pros: Hi Res, Dolby Vision option, easy setup
Cons: It looks like it Dolby Vision media isn't automatically recognizable, but hopefully with another firmware update that could be changed.

Although not as pretty as the 800, this unit is feature rich, offers excellent streaming, and is more than worth the money when it comes to 4k playback and atmos sound. Highly recommend.
Pros: Beautiful Picture and sound slim, unobtrusive design Additional HDMI output for dedicated audio 4k streaming, dolby atmos, and dolby vision.

Does the Job!
Richard from Clifton, VA on 3/5/2019
Great price. Has all the features that I desired for now and the future. Works well....smooth and quiet...great picture. Shipping was quick. So far, I am pleased with my purchase.
Pros: Has all the features I wanted. I have a Plasma TV that has 3-D (something my wife talked me into) and we have a small library of 3-D titles. The old Panasonic player was sounding like a cement mixer and refused to read too many discs. Price was right. Features work for now and the future (when the old plasma bites the dust too). Operation is very quiet and smooth. Remote is OK. Relatively thin and does not take up much room.
Cons: No info when you turn it on except a green light. On my old DVD player there was info on progress of what you were watching. Miss that some.

No Longer Supports Pandora or MLB
Mark from Denver on 3/5/2019
In February, a number of the streaming apps disappeared without warning after a software "update." Among these were mlb and pandora. Sony customer service has been utterly useless. You can see questions about this on the Sony community forum -- all, at this point, without substantive responses. Similarly, Sony tech support responds with an irrelevant form letter. I plan to return mine to Crutchfield. Not Crutchfield's fault but what else does one do with a product that is said to do something but doesn't.
Pros: Small, light, good remote.
Cons: Doesn't do what I bought if for. Product description is wrong. Feels cheap.

Paul from Hightstown, NJ on 2/21/2019
This unit is a great space saver - I have it tucked away in my entertainment center. I like that it has Dolby Vision. The build quality is not quite as good as the UBP-X800 (I have both) but it's still a Sony, so it should last. It has all the streaming apps I need, Netflix, Prime, YouTube, and Pandora. Overall a great value (got it on sale).

Excellent UHD Player For The Price
Michael from Calumet, MI on 1/21/2019
I purchased this to go with a 40" Samsung 4K TV installed in a bedroom in my house. This UHD player is perfect for that application; it is small enough to sit on top of a DirecTV DVR; since this is a bedroom setup with no AVR or external speakers, I have it connected directly to the TV via a single HDMI cable. Picture quality is top notch with both Blu-ray and UHD 4K discs. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the build quality is a bit on the lightweight/flimsy side, which is to be expected with a small-footprint unit in this price range. As I said above, it is perfect for the bedroom TV setup, however.
Pros: Picture quality, small size
Cons: Lightweight, not built like a tank.
