Solid piece of gear, performs perfectly. Would a track number led on the front be helpful for CD's/ SACD's? Yes. Is is a dealbreaker? No. Always I buy with Crutchfield, best service in the biz.

Pros: Great for hifi audio, perfect 4k and sacd playback.

Cons: No track indicator on front panel

Mark from INDEPENDENCE, KS on 3/6/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought this UHD Blu-ray player so I could step up the picture quality to UHD. Several years ago, I had purchased a Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player from Crutchfield when I made the step up from DVD to Blu-ray. This UBP-X800M2 also shares a disappointing quality as does the BDP-S550 player. If you need to stop while watching, and return later to finish watching your movie don't expect the player to remember where you left off. It has no clue! So, I make it a point to identify my stopping point so I can resume later. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with the picture and sound quality! So, that is the reason behind the four star rating.

Pros: Great picture and sound qualities. Nice features in the limited menu choices. I don't use for streaming, as I already have that covered with another device.

Cons: Doesn't remember where stopping point is if you need to stop playback for an extended period of time. It seems to forget when I stop playback, and power down until I return. I must check time of playback so I can resume playing when I return.

Very good quality

Bill D from Yadkinville, NC on 2/23/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

One of the primary reasons I chose this blu ray player was its ability to play SACD's. I was surprised by the quality feel of this player given the very reasonable price. The lower section of the faceplate folds down and the disc tray glides out silently with solid smoothness. Nice! The unit has some heft to it instead of feeling like a strong breeze would blow it off the shelf. As far as sound goes, I've not had enough time to give it much critical listening time but so far it does seem to be very, very good. Overall, it's a great value if quality at a great price is important to you. Oh, and picture quality is absolutely outstanding!

Pros: Quality feel and excellent performance

Cons: None so far

For this price, you will not find another player of this quality and ability to play multichannel SACD and DVD Audio Discs. The audio sounds great and I'm anxious to try some 4k blu-ray discs. Nice to see Sony (one of the inventors of the SACD) step up and continue support for this format with a high quality, lower priced player.

Pros: Plays multichannel SACD and DVD Audio Discs

Cons: None

Easty to setlup and use Sony

Cary from Greensboro, NC on 2/12/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I ordered this UBP-X800M2 Sony Blue Ray to replace my recently purchased "Top of the Line" Panasonic DP-UB820. The Panasonic was far more difficult to set up and to operate and the entire household disliked it after several days use. Things easy on the Sony on the Panasonic were convoluted and difficult Subtitle settings required multiple trips through oddly set up screens. From the box the Panasonic began shouting loudly and fast in a foreign language and was difficult to shut up. I now have both the smallest Sony and the largest Sony both of which were easy to set up and use and the remote controls among the easiest to use I have seen. The Sony units also have terrific pictures and sound as well as a clear instruction manual and much faster operation than the Panasonic.

Pros: Sony Very easy to set up and operate. Remote is thoughtfully arranged. Great picture and sound.

Cons: None really.

Keith from Baltimore, MD on 2/11/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I went back & forth on this or the Panasonic UB820, which a friend recommended. The decision really came down to total tradeoffs, given i wanted a new A/V receiver and Blu-ray player and be as close to $1000 as possible. Having watched a few movies on it, I have to say the X800M2 is just a great player for the money. It makes standard DVDs look as good as my old Blu-ray player made Blu-rays look. Sound quality is far better than my old player, through my old receiver. This player was absolutely the right call, even without my self-imposed budget constraint.

Great sound and picture but frequent freezing issues

Colter from East Helena, MT on 1/29/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Starting off I'd have to say a 4K player is awesome. For someone who pays attention to sound and picture there is a vast difference in most 4K movies compared to regular Blu-ray. Now, why did I leave two stars you might be wondering? I left two stars for the great picture and sound this player produces. The missing three are for the lack of functionality of the player. I did my fair share of research on most of the 4K players out there and noticed that there is a common problem. They freeze. Some say they don't and some they do. Mine happens to freeze on the back half of most 4K movies. Regular Blu-ray movies do just fine. To say the least.. I am disappointed. Before I purchased this unit I contacted Crutchfield directly and expressed my concerns about these payers before making a purchase. I explained the research I found and the response I got was, "I personally have this player and many of my coworkers, and we've never had any of these problems. This player works great!." Being that I've had great success from Crutchfield in the past I decided to make the purchase. The first two movies I had great success and loved every minute and no freezing. A few weeks and movies later.. the freezing occurs on brand new discs. My suspicions were correct unfortunately. It's my fault I didn't return the player on the first time it froze. I'm also disappointed that I was told by a rep that "there's never been these issues." A very expensive mistake.

Pros: Excellent Sound Excellent Picture

Cons: Freezing Issues

Crutchfield response on 1/31/2023
Colter, we're sorry you're having issues with your blu-ray player. While your order is beyond Crutchfield's 60-day return policy, please feel free to reach out to our Tech Support team for help, or for information about the 1-year warranty on this player. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.

Excellent picture quality and sound. Sony makes a great Blu-Ray player. Replaced a older Sony Blu-Ray player, picture and sound was much better. I was surprised. No complaints so far. The price was a middle of the road, but quality seems better than middle of the road. Played a 4K Blue-Ray disc on a LG OLED TV, great contrast, no bleeding around bright colors vs. dark spaces.

Pros: Great Value

Cons: None so far.

This is a great, easy-to-use, and very high quality player! I use it as a universal player, mostly to play DVDs, CDs, and SACDs, and have had no problems with it so far.

Switched from Panasonic

Paul from Raleigh on 1/11/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Switched from a Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-ray player to this. I was using the Panny for a few years b/c of its HDR optimizer feature that I needed to help an older JVC projector work with HDR on 4K disks. After upgrading to a newer JVC projector with a way better built in HDR optimizer built in, I swapped out for this Sony. The Sony is WAY faster responding so that alone was worth it. The Sony also adds SACD support - I do have a few SACD titles so that will come in handy too. Seems well built, the performance, quality and features are solid. No complaints after several months of use. I'm not concerned with the remote as I use a Harmony (knock on wood... *sniff*), which easily added this to my Activities.

Great little DVD payer

Michael from Port Washington, NY on 1/3/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Great player for the price. I looked at units that were double and triple the price but couldn't find myself spending that level of funds when this unit does everything I need it to. Yes, there is that one nuance about changing the setting manually when watching a DVD with Dolby Vision, but who cares. I don't use the apps, so the primitive apps screens are not a big deal to me. I watched a few HD Bluy Ray discs and the picture and sound quality are excellent. It pairs nicely with my Sony Bravia OLED TV.

Pros: Price, build quality and performance

Cons: Might not have all the bells and whistles as the high end models.

William st from KEYSVILLE, VA on 12/31/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I love everything about this player. It's played everything I have thrown at it from old DVDs to new 4k blu rays. All have looked fantastic especially 4k blu rays on the screen. The sound and clarity are unbelievable. Personally I love the size of this unit. It is SOLID. It feels like there is something inside it. You could grab this off the shelve and defend your home with it. Setup couldn't have been easier. I'm a long time Sony customer - radios, VHS players, Vaio laptops, DVD players. I even remember as a kid when we got the latest technology - a Sony Betamax! I'm glad I went with this model over their X700. Cons? I can't think of any. Maybe the ugly remote. Let's be honest the big red and white "Netflix" button is ugly. A lot of remotes today have it so it's not a Sony thing. A lot of us happen to hate Netflix so seeing that every time is a little annoying. I will probably put some black paint or tape over it. Problem solved! Crutchfield delivery as usual was fast and I love the dissolvable peanuts. How "green." Although I wasted 20 gallons of water trying to dissolve them. Smaller box next time? Please. Finally I just tossed them in the yard. Side note dogs will eat them. At least my retriever tried a couple. 20 gallons of water vs putting them in a landfill? Hmmm. Not sure we gained anything there. So just toss them outside and save our water. After one night and a light rain they were gone!

Pros: Video quality, sound quality and build quality.

Cons: Ugly remote

Great player-quicker navigation and loading vs Panasonic. Can force Dolby Vision or 422 444 ycbr chroma which can benefit your display. Solid Build - less Plasticy compared to rven more expensive models. Not as much chroma tone mapping features so you may be better off with the Panasonic's if you have an older display. honestly, I'm not sure if the 5 year old tone mapping tech on those units competes with todays displays

This is truly a well-thought-out BluRay Player except for the need to make a manual selection when upscaling some videos, but it is minor considering the professionalism in the construction, isolation of vibrations and noise, sound and picture quality, and the design of this unit. I wasn't sure what I was going to experience but with the $80 price reduction, I decided to give it a shot. I am glad I did!!

Great Player with Two HDMI Outs

John from Lorton, VA on 11/23/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Great player, and especially functional if you have an older AVR without Dolby Vision capability. This player has two HDMI outputs, one for both video and audio and one for just audio. This feature allows connection directly to a Dolby Vision capable TV with the video/audio output, thus bypassing the AVR which would have "filtered out" the Dolby Vision. The other HDMI output (audio only) is connected to any HDMI input on your receiver. (Settings in your components will need adjustment to suit this.) This feature is a great fix until a newer, more Dolby capable AVR can be purchased. The Sony UBP-X800M2 is a great player with many other video and audio features. Highly recommended.

Crutchfield documented this product very well, so if you know what you want and this is it, you will be pleased. Has all the features we wanted, worked as advertised, delivered promptly in good condition. For us the only "new" feature in DVD players that we wanted was WIFI so that we could stream without wiring directly into the router. Panel controls and indicators are on the front and we do in fact have a tuner sitting on top of this unit now. I judge this a good value for the price, with compatibilities that we may not use, but were designed into the product in case the opportunity arises.

Crutchfield customer from Tahlequah, OK on 10/19/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Very nice look and delivers beautiful picture/sound. However, it's ridiculous that it only has 3 streaming apps (YouTube/Amazon/Netflix) and that you can't add any more. I upgraded from a ubp-x800 to this M2 model to get Dolby vision and even my older player had more apps and ability to add a few. also, the player can tell you if a disc is Dolby Vision vs HDR10 but it can't switch automatically, you have to do it in the menu (for each disc).

Pros: Great picture and sound. The look of the unit is nice/quality.

Cons: No auto-sensing of Dolby Vision/HDR10, even though the player firmware shows you what type of disc you're okaying. Only # streaming apps and inability to add any.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Five starts for build quality, user interface, and playing all kinds of discs with excellent results. I'm especially pleased with SACD performance. One note for prospective purchasers: Only 3 apps (Netflix, Prime, and YouTube) are included, and there is no provision for adding apps. It also often takes several tries for Prime to load - I get the message that the app is too big to load, though it works on the second or third try. Not a real problem for me because my TV (also from Sony) does a fine job with apps and allows them to be added, but may be useful to know. Nonetheless, highly recommended.

Excellent player & awesome remote control

Dan from Poinciana, FL on 9/28/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

This player is excellent. Because of my space constraints, I needed to turn it sideways and so the front of the unit faces away from the side of my LG flat screen TV. And even with it facing off to the right of my TV, it still receives all the signals from the Sony remote control and I can fully control the player from the remote while I am sitting in front of the TV, and the player responds perfectly, as if it were in front of me and facing the remote control. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I am still trying out my new Sony Blue Ray player. I bought it because the technology has changed so fast that it is hard to keep up with and expensive also. I was trying to keep up with surround sound and I bought two Atmos Speakers from Crutchfield and found out that I needed to upgrade my blue ray player to play atmos dvd's. Now I think I have gone as far as I can in my small space for Atmos Surround Sound (my wife thinks so also $) I want to steam Hi Def Sacd in Atmos music and also 4K Atmos movies but not sure how to do streaming into my system. I wanted one company to stream movies and music but I can't find one that does both so it looks like I would have to pay for two different companies to stream both. Does anybody know if a one steaming company does all (music and movies both in 4k atoms surround?)

Bought the 800 M2 to update my media player (Oppo 103d) so I could move to 4k dvd's. It may not have all the options of more expensive players but has everything I need. 4k image is amazing, atmos sounds terrific. The biggest surprise was how good it sounded playing standard music cd's. Blu-Ray hd dvd's look and sound great too. This player is a really good value.

Pros: Image quality, sound, price, easy to set up.

Cons: None

Verified employee review (What's this?)

It plays disks fine so far. I got this model because it can also play SACD, DVD-Audio disks, which not many (if any) other players will do. It is supposed to keep memory of where you stopped playing a disk, and then be able to resume from that point when restarting the disk. I tried that a few times, but it did not seem to work. There may be a trick to doing it that I have not found out yet.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I've only had this player for a few days but so far, pretty darn good. The picture on my 4k tv is crystal clear, sharp, and detailed. I was worried I wouldn't notice a difference between standard blu-ray and 4k. But I definitely did. The sound is just as good. And it's not bad as a cd or sacd player either. I haven't watched any dvd's or standard blu-ray's yet so I can't comment on it's upscaling ability. But if what I've seen and heard so far is any indication I'm sure they'll be pretty good too. Very pleased so far.

Pros: Dual HDMI outputs, sturdy, well built

Cons: None so far

This is a replacement for a Sony UBP-X800 UHD Player purchased in 2018. The shipment was delivered in two days and factory box was packed in a plain brown box and was received damage free. The player has worked great the first few weeks of ownership. We have watched a few older dvd's and a few BBC dvd's from 2020 with no issues. I also watched the first 20 minutes of Gladiator on 4K BD using Dolby Vision setting. The video and audio looked and sounded great on my 5.1 Denon AVR with Polk speakers. I need to watch Gladiator or a different 4K UHD BD to ensure there are no freezing issues mention by some users.

Pros: Very quick delivery. Well packaged. Works great.

Cons: None after three weeks of use.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have owned this player a short time but so far it delivers an excellent 4K picture and most of all there are no freezing issues. The main reason I purchased this is to replace a lightly used SONY UBP-X700 4K player that I had purchased only 3 years ago that started to freeze every 4K disc I played. This player also gives me the sound (5.1.2) I want through my SONY STR-DH790 receiver. Only time will tell.

Pros: No Freezing Issues (So Far), Easy to use and love the size of the remote. Fits my hand better.

Cons:

Very well made player, has some heft to it compared to most bluray players. Excellent price for the features that it has. My a/v receiver is a few years old which has caused some issues integrating this into my system. I'm an old school plug and play guy and I couldn't get it to play no matter what I tried. Finally I found the answer after a few days. You need to use the #2 hdmi output to send the audio signal to the receiver and the main hdmi directly to the 4k TV. Now it works beautifully. Note: my receiver is not 4k compatible, hence the issue.

Pros: Performs well both sonically and visually.

Cons:

I bought this Blu-ray player to replace an old Sony Blu-ray/DVD/CD player I'd purchased back in the early 2000's. This player is half the size, very sleek and solid with only a small green power indicator light to let you know it's on. Set-up was a breeze and immediately played my copy of The Last Waltz. Connected to my set and soundbar via HDMI cable. Ultra HD looks great! Whereas my old Blu-ray player Home Screen had a complex set of menus to navigate through, the Home Screen menu on the Ultra HD has a simple design for easily playing material from DVD'S or a thumb drive. There are also shortcuts on the Home Screen to Netflix and Prime Video.

A bit disappointed with so few streaming apps

Clifford J from Cranston, RI on 6/15/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I will begin by saying that as a 4K/BluRay player it does a good job. Additionally, this appears to be well built and very sturdy construction. The reason for the low rating is as follows. In today's world of "smart devices" steaming content from various sources is of the utmost importance to many of us, and this is where this device falls short for me. The only apps on this device are Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube... really? No ability to add/install additional apps from a list... no sports apps.... nothing. My old Sony BluRay player had many options for apps. Additionally, when using Netflix, while flipping through the available content, the stream is constantly going blank/freezing for as much as 10 seconds as the title preview starts... which is rather annoying. I am truly hoping a firmware update adds more apps and fixes the Netflix freezing issue. I guess maybe I expected more from Sony regarding this player.

Pros: * Quality build construction * Good 4K/BluRay player

Cons: * Too few Apps (ONLY Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube)

Purchased this product 18 months ago. Six months ago it suddenly stopped playing any Blu-Ray or 4K disks. Regular DVDs and CD's still play -- as well as DVD-A. This is known issue reported to Sony by many users, but Sony has no workable solutions. For other issues, search "Sony x800M2 freezing". Great product for a year

Pros: Originally played BD, 4K, DVD, CD, and even DVD-A

Cons: Suddenly stopped playing BD, 4K content after a year. No workable solution from Sony, reported by many users

Five stars is not enough for this devise, I could sit here and write for 2 hrs. and not be able to explain all the features in this unit. If you are like me, I did not believe all the specs. and info. listed, ya know too good to be true. Let me tell you, This devise will blow you away in every aspect. I first did the quick set up and dropped in the Eagles, Hell Freezes Over WOW Both audio and video were superb on a 20 plus yr. old dvd. I have a new sony tv and all hookups are all Crutchfield ultra high speed hdmi cables a must for future proofing etc. Then I did advance settings for video & audio, with a few calls to Crutchfield and their good support team help I was able to fine tune to my sound bar and my setup. I can not tell you how important this is! I must Tell you the upscaling to 4-K on old dvds is nothing less then amazing. Hands Down this is the best purchase I have made in 10 yrs. I can not wait to purchase a Blueray dvd What Fun!...

Amazing 4K B/R Player For The Money! And It's Built Like A Light Tank! (Heavy And Solid At 8 LBS.) I Decided To Get This Player To Match My, Receiver And TV. (Which Are 4K.

So, I Choose To Go With Another Sony. And You Can Never Go Wrong With Sony. Overall, This Player Rocks! I'm Very Happy With It!

Pros: Solid Build, Ease Of Use, Handsome Design, Plays Most Discs.

Cons: Remote Is A Little Clunky. (But, That's No Big Deal.)

Great picture, sound and price. I bought this to play CDs and SACDs, and it rocks for those.

The 4k BD features are solid, the picture is great as well. For $200, this unit can't be beat. For a lot more money, it probably can - but why?

I have been a customer since 1995 and I have always had good service and exceptional home electronics from Crutchfield. I still choose Sony over many other brands due to quality and consistency. This Blu-ray player exceeds my expectations from installation to sitting down and watching my favorite movies in HD. So far I have had no issues, setting up the player was a breeze which took maybe 15 minutes. The directions are pretty straight forward. I ran my HDMI cable through the wall, as well as my other hookups to the Samsung QN65Q70T which I ordered from Crutchfield also. I had to wait several weeks to receive my Blu-ray player but in the end the wait was worth it. I would highly recommend this Sony Blu-ray!

Pros: Picture quality, size, remote, ease of use and setup.

Cons: None so far.

I've had the Sony UBP-X800M2 for a few weeks now. On the plus side, it plays DVDs without any problems and was very easy to set up. I don't have any Blu-ray discs, so I can't comment on that but the upscaling on DVDs is excellent. CD and SACD playback are first rate. I haven't bothered with streaming as I have an Apple TV device for that. The only negatives I've found so far is that the disc drawer and remote both seem a bit flimsy compared to my old Yamaha DVD player, and my older Sony TV. Overall, I'm quite happy with this player.

Pros: Does what it's supposed to do without hassles.

Cons: Slightly flimsy remote and disc drawer.

Purchased thru Crutchfield. Great transaction as usual. First Bluray delivered did not work. Crutchfield immediately sent out a replacement even before the old one was returned. Great customer service. The unit itself is heavy and has the feel of a quality unit. Having to switch Dolby Vision on and off is a PITA, but I knew that before I bought it. It does have another shortcoming and I'm not sure if it's a Sony issue or Netflix/Amazon Prime issue but, if you access either of those apps through the Bluray, don't expect to get Dolby Atmos because it's not supported. Glad I have an Apple 4K TV to handle my streaming Atmos needs.

Pros: Well built. Starts up and loads fast.

Cons: No Atmos through its Netflix and Amazon Prime apps.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Pros - Acoustic and video performance quality is terrific! I use it more for playing SACDs than Blu Rays, but both are really great. A big improvement over my old Marantz combi-player. Cons - There is no status read out at all on the face of the unit and that's a significant source of aggravation/irritation. I can't tell the elapsed time on either type disc or the chapter or track number. There are also no controls on the face of the unit itself other than on/off and open/close. You are forced to use only the remote for everything else. A big loss from my old Marantz combi-player.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Have been using this for almost a year now with Sony XBR-65A8H OLED and Yamaha RX-A1000 receiver. Picture is flawless and stunning with HDR Dolby Vision from 4K blu-rays. Standard 1080p blu-rays also look better than ever. (I prefer not using the Dolby Vision up conversion on standard HD discs, the picture looks more natural and colors are actually better without it.) I have this in an entertainment center with a glass door and it runs very quietly. Had ongoing problems where the picture and sound would black out on/off near the end of movies. Talked to Crutchfield who directed me to Sony customer service since it's still under one-year warranty, and the Sony software updated released Fall 2021 seems to have fixed the issue. Definitely dropped a star for the on-screen menu. Not intuitive to locate things like HDMI output settings (I use HDMI 2 for audio out since my receiver doesn't pass through 4k video... this might also be the cause of lip sync issues which require adjustments via the receiver with each different movie.) Also Dolby Vision must be manually turned on and off if switching between different discs that do or don't have Dolby Vision, the unit does not detect it automatically. The only streaming apps are Netflix and Amazon Video, not really worth having on there. Have not used the hi-res audio option yet, note that there are no music streaming apps available on the unit. Bluetooth w/ Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones is excellent.

Pros: Incredible picture and sound with Sony OLED tv and HDMI sound output directly to receiver.

Cons: On-screen menu looks like really old software and is not intuitive, requires frequent access to turn Dolby Vision, bluetooth, audio out settings, etc. Some playback problems seem to be resolved after Fall 2021 software update from Sony.

First HD 4K Blu-Ray I tried froze on the title screen and was missing the icons to play the disc. It also would not eject. I unplugged the unit and tried again and it worked fine. Hopefully this was just a glitch. It worked fine playing the disc thereafter. Much higher definition than my previous Blu-Ray player on my new OLED Sony TV.

Great Addition To My Entertainment System

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I had no idea that this Sony 4K player would work so much better than my old OPPO 103 BDP. It's not only better for 4K (OPPO only plays HD/2K Blu-ray), but also for Blu-ray playback. More information is displayed, all video is upscaled to 4K, has smoother flow, better color and depth of field. The Sony also does really well with streaming Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YouTube all three in 5.1 surround sound. The sound performance of Sony seems flawless and best the older OPPO. Lipsink is always perfect for all playback (2K, 4K, and streaming; this is something the OPPO doesn't do as well, the delay between audio and video seemed to be greatly affected by the complication of the video content (higher complication = more video delay to audio. I'd often hear it before it happen on screen). 4K Blu-rays are so much better than regular Blu-rays, that I'll only buy 4K in the future when available and I will be replacing all my best DVDs. As a matter of fact I haven't played a DVD in years. This Sony player is a keeper and I'm really pleased to own it.

Superb Piece of Equipment

Crutchfield customer from Dallas, TX on 6/9/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have had this unit just short of two week. The unit came well packed. Was very easy to connect, just attached a HDMI cord from the Sony to the back of my Marantz sr7012 and plugged the unit in. The unit easily connected to my Wi-Fi in the house. After researching the the recommended settings on You Tube and review sites they were easily applied in the set up menu. As of now I do not have any 4k movies, however I do have Spears and Munsil 4K setup disc which had 4K demos on them and they looked unbelievable. One reason I chose the Sony over the other 4K players is because it played SACD's and DVD-Audio's. I tried the Fragile album (DVD-Audio) and Dark Side of the Moon(SACD) and they sounded fantastic. I am very please with this unit, the only downsides are that you have to switch on Dolby Vision when you have that kind of disc and that there is no display. For what you get this is a great value.

Pros: Plays all types of Discs

Cons: No front display and must toggle Dolby Vision on

Great BluyRay Player

Sony does it right for sure! This is a great Blue Ray/CD player and I would put it up against any C.D. player too. You would have to spend twice as much to get the sound and picture quality that is produced by this unit. I actually have a Yamaha that cost twice as much-which is also a great unit, especially for CDs. Unfortunately, many companies are not making DVD players now including Yamaha. I would highly recommend this Sony to anyone who wants great sound and picture quality.

Pros: Great Performer

"M2" stands for missing features

Crutchfield customer from Austin, TX on 4/29/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have the Sony UBP-X800 for our bedroom setup and wanted a 4K unit for our main home theater. I would have thought that the latest unit designated M2 would indicate some minor improvements. Actually, Sony took away some features. Gone are many of the streaming options such as Pandora and Hulu. Also, the menus appear different and some setting are missing. I exchanged the unit for the Sony UBP-X1100ES. It is also missing the streaming options. The actual function of these two units appears identical. Unfortunately, these are the only universal 4K players that include SACD of which I have many. Oh how I wish OPPO was still in the Blu-ray player business. My OPPO is far superior to either of these units, but I bought mine before 4K was available. Blu-ray 2K and 4K is superior to any streaming option (4K or otherwise), and it's a shame that disc players have fallen out of favor and that there are not better options available. The Sony UBP-X800M2 and the UBP-X1100ES are good, but not great.

If you want to play nearly any format, this is the unit to get (unless you want to spend several hundred or few thousand for an Oppo). I picked it because I wanted to be able to listen to SACD, DVDA, and Blu Rays. I was having some handshaking problems with my older blu ray player and an additional unit that I tried. Not sure if there was a software update on my LG 4k TV or Dennon AVR. No problems so far with the 800MII. I would have given it 5 stars but the price suddently went up $50 for unknown reasons. Still a value at current price though.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

As is mentioned in a few other reviews here (and many more elsewhere that I didn't see prior to this purchase), there seems to be a pretty prevalent issue with freeze ups. Almost exactly 1.5hr in to my first disc the entire system froze. Nothing worked but unplugging it. I'll try again today, but so far not great and this one is likely headed for a return.

Pros: Good features and stuff.

Cons: Can't actually play a movie.

Locks up

Crutchfield customer from CASTLE VALLEY, UT on 3/9/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

It locks up sometimes, it won't respond to either the panel buttons or remote. I have to unplug and re-plug to get it to work again. Since the power strip is behind my receiver that's a big pain. Happened 3 times last week. Looses its place sometimes when turned off then restarted. It restarts with the FBI warning. Not always, sometimes. It times out too soon for me, can't configure the timeout. The open/close is slow. There's no play button on the panel which I like. While I'm standing in front of it loading a CD I like to have that button to get the show started. The streaming quality from Amazon is poor compared to the LG 65Nano90una tv. No harm. Now I know. Thought it might be better. Someone else might want to know b4 purchasing. It seems sensitive to imperfections on Blu Ray discs. It flaked out on 3 so far. I tested one of them on my old LG UBK80 and it had the same result. So maybe it's not the player. Could be Blu Ray is sensitive or I got some bad discs. Other than that, it has a very nice picture and sound, when it works.

Another review? Sure, why not! I've been spending portions of my kid's inheritance on DVD players over the past 5 years. I've tried so many many. Sony gave me something in 6700 series. But, it didn't make me smile 13 months into its use...when it failed. No complaints tho'. It did what I expected it to do and at it's price point. Even tho, I hoped for a longer performance. That's when I decided no more! I researched, read reviews, and argued with myself. I was going to get the Sony 700 (a compromise), but I realized it didn't have a metal chassis! Hence the 800! Thing is heavy, for a DVD player. No complaints. It's all the metal it has! I butted it to support a Sony XBR 65" 900H. What a great combo! What a great picture running thru the 800 into the 65" TV. yes, it hurts my eyes! ! I love the upscaling, as I've a few "old"DVDs, and it handles them easily. So, I'm pleased, glad I did get it, as I see it as an investment.

Suits our limited needs perfectly

Crutchfield customer from Morris, MN on 1/8/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Does what I wanted, which is play all audio formats including SACD and DVD-Audio. I am more into the audio than video, video is perfectly acceptable for our needs (we still use a non-4k TV, so cannot really comment on the video aspects of this device but if we do ever get a new 4k TV we have a source for 4k content so that's a plus). This is being used in a system which now allows me to easily stream multichannel audio stored on our home server to the only room in the house with 5.1 speaker setup. Songs load fast and sound great (good enough for my 53 year old ears)! We have a Roku, and although limited to Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube on the Sony those all worked great and were quite fast to respond to commands (easily as good as the Roku). We are dinosaurs and still get some shows from Netflix on DVD, so it's nice to have a decent disc player (this replaced an ancient PS3 used solely for playing movies). I also like that there is no display on the unit itself, and a very dim power light. Extremely pleased with this purchase, meets our needs perfectly. Was able to get at a decent discount from Crutchfield in December--always a pleasure buying from Crutchfield.

Pros: plays dvd-audio, sacd, streams multichannel flac from home server no display on unit itself

Cons: none for what we use it for

Arrived faster than I expected, and worked flawlessly. I bought this unit as a replacement for an older Blu-Ray player that was only rated for HD, and not UHD. This unit works great.

Sony X800M2 Ultra 4k

Don from TX on 12/20/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Bought a new LG 4K NanoCell 90 series and needed a 4K Ultra BR for my system. This Sony X800M2 fit the bill and preforms perfectly so far after watching 18 4k Ultra BR movies in Dolby Vision. Over 40 hours of use without a issue. Picture/sound quality is perfect. The unit itself is silent running no noise from the disc reader at all. The initial setup was easy and fast and Instead of running it thru my Denon AV receiver I just connected the high speed HDMI cable straight to my LG 4K 90 series. This Sony is definitely worth the price I paid during Crutchfield's sale, pricey but worth it for the quality. There could be a draw back for some folks if room to place it is a issue since it is big like 17"s wide and 14"s or so deep, although it is only about 2"s tall. I have a large cabinet with all my AV setup so space wasn't a issue for me. I'm very happy with it. I can't speak to its streaming capabilities since I don't use it in that fashion. It plays high quality movies, Blu-ray, 4K and the old regular DVDs. I did try a few music CD and it played those very well also. I have a record turntable so CD music really isn't my thing for music but it'll play them well till your hearts content. I have had several Sony DVD players over the years and they are still going strong but their quality in performance is not comparable to this new Sony X800M2 4K unit, it is high performance quality all the way which was exactly what I was wanting. Thanks Sony for making a high quality unit!!!

Pros: High Quality Unit that plays movies and sound with perfection. Silent running compared to my other Sony players. Remote control works great from 20' away any how from my chair.

Cons: Large size unit could cause some folks a issue with limited space. As you can see in the pic it is as wide as my DENON AV receiver and as deep in the cabinet. No display or clock only a indicator light to let you know it is on. I would like to see a display of some sort, come on Sony.

So far, so good! Somewhat difficult to get sound working on CDs, older DVDs. Could have been due to bad HDMI cable from Crutchfield. Otherwise, using basics HDMI cables, unit works and sounds very good. Could have got the unit for $50 less online, but went with Crutchfield based on good reviews of their certified HDMI cables, big mistake on my part.
