Very Nice Sony Player
Crutchfield customer from Lavon, TX on 9/22/2021
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
Crutchfield customer from Calico Rock, AR on 9/13/2021
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.

Pros: Small size, works with bluetooth.
Cons: Has no analog output. Solved that with a coax digital to analog adapter.

Superb Piece of Equipment
Crutchfield customer from Dallas, TX on 6/9/2021
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
Crutchfield customer from Elkton, MD on 6/7/2021
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
Cons: None

The Sony UBP-X800M2 is a solidly built dvd player with a lot of features. The picture and sound quality are amazing. Setup was a breeze. I wanted to find a dvd player that had great picture quality that would also be capable of playing music cd's with a great sound quality. This unit does both very well. It is by far the most I have personally spent on a dvd player but it is worth every penny.

"M2" stands for missing features
Crutchfield customer from Austin, TX on 4/29/2021
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.

Great 4K Blu-ray player! Nice features like upscaling and it plays all kinds of discs. Two HDMI out ports, one dedicated to sound only, so you can route 4K video straight to a 4K capable TV and sound can be routed to a non-4K AV receiver for output to speakers.

Crutchfield customer from Englewood, OH on 4/4/2021
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.

So far, not good
Tim from Silver Spring on 3/10/2021
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
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.

Crutchfield customer from Agawam, MA on 3/8/2021
This is the second one of these I've bought. I have a collection of dvd-audio and sacd. This plays them both, and anything else I throw at it. I couldn't see anything about the 1100 to make it worth the extra $$$ and I certainly wasn't going to pay crazy money for a used oppo. Great unit.
Pros: Great value. Sounds great.
Cons: Apps are useless

Make the investment!
Dennis from Pensacola, FL on 3/7/2021
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.

I bought the Sony Bluray player so I could access my DVD Audio discs and SACD's easily. And it does. I have eliminated two units to one with this purchase and removed a ton of wires. I had an excellent Panasonic Bluray player that gave a beautiful picture and a Pioneer universal DVD player that offered great audio so it will be interesting to see the video quality and sound quality of this unit. I will follow up this review down the road. So far so good! Thank you Crutchfield for the the service and help.
Pros: One cable does it all, and potential for separate HDMI just for audio.

Suits our limited needs perfectly
Crutchfield customer from Morris, MN on 1/8/2021
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

Works well, and was delivered faster than expected.

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. I have an older model of this same player in another room in the house. This player's interface is much simpler, and I think that is fine.
Pros: Easy to setup, and use. Works well, and as expected with UHD Blu-Rays, and UHD movies from Amazon Prime.

Sony X800M2 Ultra 4k
Don from TX on 12/20/2020
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.

Crutchfield customer from Santa Fe, NM on 12/11/2020
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.

Crutchfield customer from Lithia, FL on 12/3/2020
If you are looking for a high quality 4k Blu-ray player that can handle Dolby Vision and Atmos but is simple to operate, this is a great option. It's not the cheapest thing around, and you aren't going to find a flashy interface with lost of customization, but if Netfilix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube are your apps of choice for streaming, then you are all set. If not, you might need a smart TV or Apple TV to pull in what you want. It turns on very quickly and the up scaling is pretty darn good. While I haven't used it, the Bluetooth capability could come in handy if connecting to a speaker out of cable range. The built in media server seems to work well. It sees the USB connected SSD that is hooked up to my wifi router just fine. I can upload my videos to my SDD and stream them to my TV through this unit. I recommend this player.

Sony UBP-X800M2 awesome addition to my home theater system
Crutchfield customer from Davisburg, MI on 11/3/2020
Have only used once so far but was blown away by the the difference between regular blue ray and the Ultra HD not just with the sound but also with the clarity and sharpness in the picture. Watched Hunter Killer 4k Ultra HD disc and man o man how much clearer everything was from the last time I had watched on HBO recently. Doesn't hurt that I had also purchased a Sony Bravia OLED XBR-65-A8H TV and a Sony STR-DN1080 all roughly at the same time to totally upgrade our home theater experience. Can't wait to use again this weekend.

Ultra Blu Ray
Crutchfield customer from Akron, OH on 11/3/2020
Rugged frame. Will probably play more than I'll ever need. Has all the bells and whistles. Nice looking unit to fit with other full size gear. Looking to purchase a Ultra Blu Ray movie, to make it shine on my Samsung 65. Great guys and girls, to work with. At Crutchfield.
Pros: all the features and tweakability
Cons: None known

Sony UBP-X800M2
Guest from Mount Pleasant, IA on 11/2/2020
Recently I put a new Blu Ray disc in the player and the audio would start at the "home screen" of the disc but there was no video. I changed discs, HDMI cables, TVs and could never get an image, not even the main screen of the player when no disc was inserted. I Googled my issue to find many others had experienced the same issue but never saw a resolution. I contacted Sony via their customer service form and they promptly replied to contact customer service by phone. I was optimistic they knew about what I was experiencing and would stand behind their product. Ultimately I received an email that said, "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Your file has been forwarded to our department. Please be advised that Sony provides a standard 1 year warranty for initial failures to be covered by the manufacturer. Once the warranty expires, it will be the customers responsibility to cover any repair cost on the unit. Due to the fact that the unit is beyond the manufacturer's warranty, we regret to inform you that we are unable to assist you with the repair/exchange. Thank you." I get it's out of warranty but barely and it is a widely known problem. Very disappointed.

Top of the line features and performance
Crutchfield customer from Saint Augustine, FL on 10/29/2020
This model appears to be the current top line UHD player from Sony. Setup was easy and quick. Bluetooth works great, including for sound output if you choose. I have it set up to the TV with a single HDMI cable. Great picture and sound; none of the noise or grain I have experienced with previous HD Blu-ray players from other manufacturers. I would recommend this one to everyone.
Pros: Quick setup, fast menu navigation, comprehensive remote, loads and plays UHD disks fast, quiet operation, heavy quality build
Cons: None

Straightforward, filler-free
Crutchfield customer from Richmond, VA on 10/26/2020
I wanted something straightforward and filler-free; movies and all our CDs (and other digital formats) from the "Before Time" . this fit the bill easily. The set up was swift, easy and resulted in immediate success. Prime, Netflix and YouTube are preinstalled, but I wish there was an offering of a few more things to round it out . but that's a minor gripe since those services are available elsewhere, easily. So far so good; responsive, easy to navigate the menus, etc . and being that we have a Sony TV (a very old one) that coupling is nice. I'm an old curmudgeon so the lack of front panel manual controls seems odd to me (and potentially a problem when the remote goes), so that may take others a bit to get used to. Simple, direct, and so far seems very reliable . just what I wanted.
Pros:
Cons: One problem I have is that the manual says not to use a cleaning disc for the lens which is odd to me. I'm all for a new way that's more appropriate and deviating from my usual flight plan, but none is provided.

Good value
Crutchfield customer from Apex, NC on 9/9/2020
Best all around player at this price point. Additional note: Purchased a scratch and dent unit and the cosmetic flaws are more visible than I would have expected but do not affect function of the player.
Pros: good value player- it has many features that more expensive units might not have. Good sound and picture quality. Can play pretty much any type of disc, a great option if you're looking to play both music and movies.
Cons: the main issue with this player is the clunky Dolby vision implementation- it works well but is annoying to use as you must go into settings each time you watch a different HDR format. Hopefully there will be an update that enables the player to select the correct format automatically, at which point I would consider this to be 5 stars. Lack of streaming apps might be a concern if you do not have a smart TV/streaming box.

This is a good option.
Crutchfield customer from Freeville, NY on 8/23/2020
The unit was easy to connect. The power on indicator light is soo small I have to get on my knees in front of my cabinet to see if it's powered on or off. Also no display on the front panel at all, it's all done on the TV screen which is fine. It would be nice to have some front display options. Works fine for playing CDs or DVDs. We don't need much other than that.

Crutchfield customer from Wyandotte, MI on 8/13/2020
Everything went well with hook up and it plays great. I have a 3D tv so i tried this the other day and with a few adjustments it played my 3D blu-ray flawlessly. The only reason i didn't give it a five star rating was because it states in the manual you can't put a lens cleaning disc in it and with all my other disc players i could clean them every ten hours of play. Let me know if there is new technology that they put in this player to keep the lens dust free?

Does what is is supposed to do!
Crutchfield customer from Richland, WA on 6/28/2020
I purchased and returned two LG BluRay players that would freeze and shut down my TV randomly, leaving me very frustrated when trying to watch a movie. This Sony works perfectly. It is solid, plays without problems, upscales old DVD's to HD type clarity and seamlessly fits in with my Denon AV Receiver and Samsung Smart TV. The ability to play high quality music from CD's, DVD's and Thumbdrives is a plus. Everything is easy to use and does what it is supposed to do. Highly recommended!
Pros: Ease of operation. Clear set prompts. Great picture quality.
Cons: Not really a con but with the migration to streaming, may be more than you need.

Great 4K picture and sound
Crutchfield customer from Thornton, NH on 6/9/2020
I bought this to upgrade for 4K and wanted a player that could also play my SACD collection. So far, it works great! As the summer grinds on I will watch more movies to see how well it does. I have noticed how sharp the few 4K movies I have look. Time to buy more. I really don't stream much, so I haven't gotten into checking out those features.
Pros: Plays every format I own
Cons: I miss the days of having a display on the front panel. Especially when playing music and you don't need the screen on! I currently have two Blue Ray players set up in my system. This one is set up for multi-channel SACD playback. The older one is set up for two channel playback. My original DVD player that plays SACD's had a button to change from multi to 2 channel. Sure miss that button!

It makes me want to upgrade to a Sony 4 K television now.
Pros: Older dvd and BD look even better now

Crutchfield customer from Dayton, OH on 5/19/2020
Recently purchased this Sony Blu-Ray player. It has teamed up very well with our new 4K TV and provides an excellent picture and excellent sound through our home audio system driven by a Denon receiver. I like its sleek, low profile design. We have tried it out on some big budget movies having great cinematography and high end audio and it performed very well.

Great 4K player
Crutchfield customer from Wickliffe, OH on 5/10/2020
I purchased this Sony because I wanted to upgrade from standard Blu-ray to a 4K Blu-ray player. First of all, right from the start you'll notice a nice hefty weight to this unit, makes you feel good about the quality just from that. After plugging in a few cables, start up & first time set up was a breeze. It will do a firmware update, only took a few minutes & ask a few questions. I popped in a regular blu-ray ( I have no 4k discs yet )and it looked great. It loaded fast & played right away, hardly any hesitation like my last player. The reason for the 4 star & not 5, and this will probably not even matter down the road but something your just not use to is that there is no display on the unit itself. No elapsed time, no info, but all you have to do is hit the display button on the remote & you'll get more info than you bargained for, so not a bad thing. This unit also had a few apps but I did not try them or use them because I have a smart TV & a Roku player with way more apps on them. Crutchfield had a great price & as always free 2-3 day shipping which made this a no brainer for me.
Pros: Good price on a premium player. Seems build quality is there, unit weighs about 8lbs, which is nice. It is Wifi & bluetooth capable. And it's a Sony
Cons: No display on physical unit, need to hit display button on remote & view info on tv. This second con was personal to me, since I have an older home theater receiver with no hdmi inputs my older blu-ray player had a digital optical out, but this unit uses a digital coaxial out so I had to purchase another cable to use the unit.

Fast!
Crutchfield customer from Bellefontaine, OH on 4/27/2020
Compared to my old Blu Ray player I can't believe how fast this thing is. Push the play button and a second or two and the movie is playing. And the same when ejecting the movie, the door opens so fast and out pops the disk. My old Samsung Blu Ray player took for ever for the movie to start, and or eject. This player was easy to set up, no complicated hoops to jump through. And very easy to go back into the settings and change them if you don't like the way you set it the first time. My only complaint would be that, it does not up-scale to 4-K automatically when you want to watch a 4-K movie. I did watch a 4-K version of Star Wars, but did not go in and change the settings to 4-K, and the movie was still crystal clear. For me at least the failure of the players ability to automatically switch to 4-K was not a deal breaker. Given one must ask themselves the questions, how much is enough, how much can the human eye perceive and observe, and how much can the human ear hear? You've found your player, buy it, you'll like it!

Extreme bang for your buck if you understand it's limitations.
Crutchfield customer from Raleigh, NC on 2/10/2020
Where the X800M2 shines is it's ability to shine play almost any media format you throw at it which is rare since Oppo left the market segment. I purchased to use mainly as my digital audio center piece though I generally focus my resources on analog. I love that I can no play DVD-A, SACD, and Bluray Audio as well as standard CD's. The USB flash drive and streaming support is just icing on the cake. The picture quality is strong. Those looking to purchase for audio purposes just need to understand there are no analog outs. You will need to rely on the DAC in your receiver or external DAC device (as I do). The dedicated audio HDMI out is nice as Sony protects/limits SACD and it doesn't output via the digital coax. For any other format though, the digital coax works perfectly. There are work arounds for SACD with a little research. Very happy with the value and diverse functionality. The unit itself also has a heft to it that feels like it was made correctly and not cheap. That was a nice surprise. The lack of any display on the unit does take a bit of getting use to but is not deal breaker by any means. All in all it is hard to complain honestly when you consider the price point, I could find no worth competitor for my needs until I hit the $450-500 price point
Pros: Heavy duty unit that plays more formats than any of the compitition at a similar price point.
Cons: Lack of analog output and no display on unit.

Bluetooth is the extra selling point.
Crutchfield customer from Fairfax, VA on 2/2/2020
A couple of points. First, this unit has Bluetooth. Most models in this price range do not. To me, that is a huge plus. Both my wife and I have Quiet Comfort II headphones from Bose (also great!). There are times when one of us wants to watch a DVD that the other has no interest in. With this Sony and the Bluetooth you can have one person watching the DVD and the other completely ignoring it, while reading in the same room. Great! Second point, and this relates to Crutchfield's great customer service. Soon after I purchased this player I wanted to try out the Bluetooth feature described, above. I followed the step-by-step instructions to pair my Bose headphones with the unit. It didn't work. The sound was garbled, unlistenable. After re-checking everything and still not fixing it, I called Crutchfield's tech support. The tech patiently spent time trying to help. At first, no luck. So he called Bose, while I waited. Turns out there is a glitch in the connection process between Bose headphones and the Sony player. All I had to do was turn "off" the two Codec settings. No apparent diminishment in sound quality, no more garbled audio. Worked like a charm. So, yes, I'd highly recommend this unit. And, from Crutchfield, of course.
Pros: Has Bluetooth capability.
Cons:

Sony UBP-X800M2
Edmund from Pasco, WA on 1/10/2020
I do not have a 4k TV yet, so I can't speak to that level of operation. The player works perfectly with 1080p Blu-ray and 1080p HD TV. Set-up was a breeze and software update worked without a hitch. I have the player hooked up to my network via ethernet. I noticed in the specs that the player lacks the ac standard for WiFi. That seems a bit archaic these days as the wireless N standard is lacking in speed. Also, if you pause a disc for several mins, the player does not seem to have a screen saver mode. I can't find anything in the settings that indicates it has a screen saver function. This is a slight issue with a Plasma TV and a function that my previous Samsung 3D 1080p Blu-ray player had. If you stop a disc the player does not always give you the option to resume where you left off. I did notice the resume function worked with certain discs but not all. So, that could be inherent in the media and not the player. Other than the screen saver this is a very well built player. It is very solid construction, larger and much heavier than my previous player.
Pros: Unit construction, set-up and operation
Cons: No screen saver on pause of disc. No wireless ac standard.

Great disc player at a great price
Andrew from BROOMALL, PA on 12/17/2019
My first purchase of a Blu-Ray player and first Sony product ever.The features of this disc player are what attracted me.It can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs which was important since I also own some pro audio recording gear.That it also played SACD and DVD-Audio discs was a big bonus. The big feature of this Sony is that it also up-scales standard definition 480p DVDs to 1080p (2K TV). It will bring new life to all of your old standard-def DVDs.The effect is very impressive to see.Couldn't be happier with it. I'm a big YouTube fan as well and was thrilled to find that Sony's implementation of that popular website was FAR superior to my LG 4K TV's.The Sony's user controls on screen are much better and very intuitive to use,great simple remote,too.Absolutely blown away by the performance and feature set of this player and Crutchfield's price is unbeatable.Would definitely recommend to others who are looking to buy a nice Blu-Ray player.
Pros: In addition to great Sony Blu-Ray movies,this machine will also play most DVDs,home recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs
Cons: none found as of yet.

Better than oppo
mIke from Glen Burnie, MD on 12/17/2019
I can honestly say that sony makes some of the most economically Friendly products that rivals the industry best Blu-ray players in quality, that would cost five time as much. I can truthfully say this machine is one of the best investments that i have made in a long time.
Pros: Just as good as oppo
Cons: None at this price point.

Outstanding picture
Crutchfield customer from Ocean Pines, MD on 12/15/2019
Outstanding picture & it was easy to setup. I was also very happy to see how it upscaled good quality standard DVDs. It works really well with my Sony 85" TV. Had it over 1 month & so far all is well. The player included two 4K Sony movies which was a pleasant surprise.
Pros: Pix, upscalling feature
Cons: no toslink audio jack

Great hi res and 5.1 music player
Crutchfield customer from Miami, FL on 12/14/2019
I purchased this player mostly for music DVD's I've gotten a number of box sets that include hi res and 5.1 dvd discs and wanted to play them on my AV system I'm putting together. Couldn't have made a better choice. I have watched a 4K disc that came with it and I can stream from my TV but it's good. Music was why I went for this player and I'm happy. Would recommend based on that.
Pros: Full features and hi resolution audio.
Cons: Sony doesn't match anything else I run.

It's no OPPO, but it'll do.
Crutchfield customer from Merchantville, NJ on 12/12/2019
Fine machine; nice to get a disc player that doesn't feel flimsy. This has some heft and reflects a nice build quality. All the functions work well, picture quality is excellent and audio is fine. The machine is a little finicky about which video and audio files it will and won't read and play from the USB port. (I feed it an MKV file and it will read the video but says the audio format isn't supported, for example) In an age of vanishing physical media, its important for collectors to have a machine that will read as many disc types as possible, and this one is as good as you'll find these days, and for a decent price.
Pros: Quality video and audio output Solid build quality Reads many different disc and file types
Cons: Picky about file types and formats through the USB port

Sony UBP-X800M2
Crutchfield customer from Van Buren, ME on 12/9/2019
This is a great blu ray player. I love the picture and sound. If you are looking for a player that streams this one only streams Netflix, Prime, and Youtube. It does a great job with those though. For me that is all I need. This player does a good job for sound quality. My DVD- Audio discs sound great and so do the Blu Ray Audio discs. Buying from Crutchfield is fantastic! They are the BEST for service.
Pros: Great picture and sound
Cons: Limited for streaming

fine player
Crutchfield customer from Allen, TX on 12/4/2019
This is a fine player. I purchased it mainly for Dolby Vision and it renders that format as expected. Yes, you need to toggle Dolby Vision on and off but that is OK with me. There are plenty of repetitive things I do in life so this is just one more. Point is, you accept it, get used to it and move on. I also like the display option that tells me what bitrate my video and audio are playing at. Typically, the audio is playing at around 3mb/sec and the video at around 60mb/sec. This tells me the player is outputting more uninterrupted detail than I would get over my wireless network from a streaming service. The streaming options are limited, but I have all the streaming options I need on my other devices. I have a smart tv, receiver and streaming stick so why do I need redundant streaming options on my player? For the price, I got 4k upscaling, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS-X, most of which require Sony to pay royalties. I consider it a good value. It came with 2 4k movies which were good for setting up and testing some of the 4k features. The player has performed flawlessly and discs load very quickly. Although I have only used it a few times, I suspect the build quality will hold up as well as my other Sony components.
Pros: tons of features, compatible with many disc formats, great value for the price
Cons:

Exceptional build and video quality
Crutchfield customer from Kenmore, WA on 12/1/2019
This is a fantastic, well-made machine that's got quite a bit of heft to it. It's much heavier than the lower UBP-X700 (which has also got rave reviews too). The 800M2 is fast and most importantly, super quiet when spinning the discs. If you want a well-built player that uses metal throughout, as opposed to plastic built that are noisy, this is the one for you. Note that a software update fixes the Dolby Vision issue where the setting now stays on once you check it.
Pros: Exceptional video and solid build quality, built in Dolby Vision and HDR10, separate HDMI audio output, nice sale price.
Cons: Lacks Component video outputs (but nowadays no longer needed

Sony UBP-X800M2
Crutchfield customer from Idaho Falls, ID on 11/18/2019
The ubp-x800m2 is an affordable swiss army knife of a 4k bluray player. I own the Oppo udp-203 and it compares favorably with x800m2 with the added bonus of internet apps not included with the udp-203. It may not be built as solidly as udp-203 but anyone other than the most extreme tech head will most likely never notice. The x800m2 performs an a par with the udp-203 in almost every aspect and at half the price paid when the udp-203 was still in production. You won't go wrong in purchasing one.

This is an upgrade to match the performance of my recent 4k smart TV purchase. Performs flawlessly as a Blu-ray and CD player as well as a Wi-Fi streamer. Already updated the software. Love it!
Pros: Flawless and versatile for Blu-ray, DVD, CD and Wi-Fi streaming.
Cons: No optical output if that's your thing (but prefer the HDMI audio anyway). Does have coaxial.

Sony quality at it's best
Crutchfield customer from Lodi, CA on 9/16/2019
At first I was having a hard time choosing between this unit and an LG model at the same price. My TV is an LG but I have always had good luck with Sony products. A couple features on this model was the tipping point for this unit. First is its build quality. This is a well built player. and it is heavy. Second is it's Bluetooth feature abling to send a signal to headphones or speakers. And last is the audio sync adjustment. The rest are normal features and appsthat other players have like Netflix, Youtube. My cable box and TV have tons anyway. So that's not a selling point for me. This was an upgrade from my Panasonic Blu-Ray player. I wanted to step up to a 4K model and get into Ultra Blu-Ray discs. The piture is fantastic. I did have to go through the setup a few times to get things adjusted to suit my needs. I do wish it would send an audio signal out both HDMI outputs at the same time. I did try and send one to my Onkyo receiver and the combo (AV) to the TV with no luck. Also you can make the player come on at the same time as the TV. This confussed my wife for a day while I was out. I had to reset this feature so it only powed up when we turned it on seperatly.
Pros: Build quality, features, picture, sound
Cons: no display of front panel

Dolby Vision compatibility
Crutchfield customer from Woodinville, WA on 9/14/2019
I previously purchased the previous version of this model, the UBP-X800. After discovering that model did not support Dolby Vision, decided I would have to upgrade. I made numerous inquiries with Sony about this and the possibility there could be a firmware upgrade to my old machine and finally determining that was not possible. There are many things I like about both models, but the lack of support from Sony on the Dolby Vision issue was a turn off. Providing an upgrade option from Sony would have been a nice gesture.
Pros: Solid build, supported formats, compatibility with other Sony components.
Cons: Lack of Sony support forcing me to purchase similar component to ensure compatibility.

excellent 2019 ultra HD player
Crutchfield customer from Cincinnati, OH on 9/2/2019
I recently bought a 4K TV and so realize that I'd have to get a 4K player to utilize its full potential. I had been waiting for the Sony X800M2 release, since it's a bit foolish to buy a 2017 or 2018 model and I'm not disappointed. It has the newer HDR10 and Dolby vision capabilities. It has worked seamlessly for me. Most of the other ultra HD players are being priced twice as expensive as this model so this was clear choice for me.

Quality product with some shortcomings
Crutchfield customer from Parma, OH on 7/6/2019
Solid, high-quality product. Excellent picture and quiet operation. Downside is way too many features and settings. Very complicated. Also, instruction manual almost useless. Almost no information in it. You have to go online and look at FAQ to figure things out. Very inconvenient. Also, the unit has no display. So you need to turn on TV to perform any function, even those that have nothing to do with video. Annoying.
Pros: Excellent picture. Quiet operation.
Cons: Lack of display. Poor instruction manual.

Buggy
Crutchfield customer from Solomons, MD on 6/12/2019
Shipped well. Its well built, quiet, and integrated well with my Sony TV. The PQ is excellent. It has frozen twice and had to be unplugged to work. It has lost and refused to see the wifi once for over an hour and then suddenly saw it again. It has frozen on 2 different UHD discs and had to be restarted. If it settles down I'll keep it, any more issues and I will use Crutchfield's great return policy.

Very Nice Player
Jerald from Bountiful, UT on 5/14/2019
I received this beauty yesterday. I was thinking of buying the $1,000 Panasonic UB9000 but ultimately could not justify the extra $$$. This player really looks sharp and the build quality is excellent (metal chassis that is solid with some weight to it unlike the plastic model it replaced)! Setup was easy and it looked for, and then updated the firmware as the first step in the setup process. To my surprise, the box came with two 4k movie titles (an added bonus to the already reasonably price). We are a disc watching family, so I was most interested in the disk performance with streaming as a secondary need or want (I know we are becoming the minority with streaming taking the lead over disc's). Wow! The picture and sound are amazing! The remote is basic, and I wish it had a display. There are two buttons on the front (open/close the tray and the power button) along with power indicator light. On the back is an ethernet port, HDMI video/audio out, HDMI audio only out, and a digital optical out. I just use the HDMI A/V out as this is for movies in my system. It has all the latest playback bells and whistles. For the price, it is hard to beat this player. I am very happy with this purchase!
Pros: Well built, Great looking, Amazing picture and sound, ethernet port and WiFi, great deal for the price
Cons: Audio component outs would be nice, a display would be nice
