About the Sony UBP-X700

Jeff Miller

Small footprint, big performance

I named the Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player the "best budget 4K Blu-ray player of 2021." If your main concern is the video quality of your Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, you'll want to take a hard look. 
Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player

The Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player fits neatly in your TV setup and serves up a beautiful 4K picture.

Small footprint, big performance

I named the Sony UBP-X700 4K Blu-ray player the "best budget 4K Blu-ray player of 2021." If your main concern is the video quality of your Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, you'll want to take a hard look. 

This player delivers a sharp 4K picture and features the deep color palette that Sony 4K TVs are known for. The two main differences between it and the newer Sony UBP-X800M2 are: (1) size — this player is more compact, and (2) wireless tunes  — you won't find multi-room audio or Bluetooth® here. (But you can still play pretty much any music disc or digital file on a connected USB drive.) 

High Dynamic Range gives you the richest picture yet

The UBP-X700 is ready for Ultra HD Blu-ray discs with HDR (High Dynamic Range). These discs offer the absolute highest level of picture detail available. HDR allows compatible TVs to display extremely bright and dark black picture content together within the same image. 

And this player supports the HDR10 format, but also the more sophisticated Dolby Vision™ format via a firmware upgrade. Dolby Vision can adjust brightness and color levels on a scene-by-scene basis. In the right director's hands, it can be mesmerizing.

Sound that pulls you into the action

All the top movie sound formats are supported, too. You can send three-dimensional audio formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X to a compatible receiver via HDMI. This gives you a home theater sound experience that's worthy of the super-crisp images you'll see on your screen. 

Smooth 4K video streaming

Sony Blu-ray players usually offer a good variety of streaming video services. And the UBP-X700 even offers 4K streaming options, so you can get a better picture from Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. Built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to connect to your network. (We recommend having an internet speed of 20Mbps or faster for 4K streaming.)

Disc & USB Compatibility

Disc Compatibility: The Sony UBP-X700 Blu-ray disc player is compatible with many disc types:

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

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

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

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

USB Port: The front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to play photo, videos, and music files on a connected USB device. The player can recognize Mass Storage Class (MSC) Devices that are FAT-compatible and Still Image Capture Devices (SICD) class devices. The player can recognize up to 500 folders/files. The USB port also allows you to enjoy additional content (such as BonusView) on certain Blu-ray Disc titles. Some BD-ROMs have bonus content and other data which can be downloaded to an inserted USB Flash Drive (minimum 1 GB recommended, sold separately).

Compatible Audio/Video/Photo Formats: The Sony UHD Blu-ray disc player supports playback of the following audio/video/photo files recorded on BD-R/RE, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs; plus compatible USB memory devices.

Media Format File Type
Audio High Resolution: AIFF /ALAC /FLAC / WAV (up to 24-bit/192kHz); DSD (2.8/5.8/11.2MHz)
Compressed: MP3 / WMA / AAC (up to 48kHz/320kbps)
Video AVCHD, AVI, FLV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, MKV, WMV9, XVID
Photo JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MPO, WEBP

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

Video Section

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

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

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

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

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Video: With HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, the Ultra HD Blu-ray Player delivers dynamic UHD content in exceptional quality with a greater range of color contrast and brightness, enhancing details from the original film format. Experience sharp contrasts and brightness with deeper blacks and brighter whites. The UBP-X700 supports HDR 10 right out of the box and Dolby Vision through a firmware update (now available).

  • HDR 10: HDR 10 video signals contain up to 100x the brightness of a standard (SDR) signal, massively increasing peak brightness while retaining deep and highly detailed blacks, for an incredible viewing experience.
  • Dolby Vision (Firmware Update Available): Dolby Vision is an HDR solution that creates an even greater immersive, engaging cinematic experience in your home. Using dynamic metadata information, Dolby Vision brings scenes to life with striking highlights, deeper darks, and vibrant colors.
HDR-to-SDR Conversion: Watch 4K HDR films, even on non-HDR TVs, and enjoy additional shadow and highlight detail. Sony's HDR-to-SDR conversion intelligently scales HDR's ultra-wide brightness range into an SDR image, maintaining outstanding picture quality even with conventional SDR TV.

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

Deep Color (12-Bit): The Sony Blu-ray player supports a color depth of up to 12 bits. Connecting the player and a TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI allows more accurate color reproduction than when connecting it to a TV that does not support Deep Color.

3D-Ready: The Sony UBP-X700 lets you enjoy 3D Blu-ray disc movies in full HD 1080p. 3D viewing requires compatible 3D content, 3D-ready HDTV, 3D emitter and glasses, and a high-speed HDMI cable (supporting at least 10.2 Gbps) connection.

Screen Settings: The Sony UBP-X700 Ultra-HD Blu-ray player features the following screen settings:

  • TV Type: You can select a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio for the unit's video output to match your connected Television's screen aspect ratio.
  • Screen Size: For 3D viewing, you will need to set the screen size of your 3D-compatible TV.
  • Screen Format: You can select the display configuration for a 4:3 screen picture on a 16:9 wide screen television. You can choose Full or Normal (select when connected to a TV with a wide mode function; displays a 4:3 screen picture in 16:9 aspect ratio even on a wide-screen TV) or Normal (changes the picture size to fit the screen size with the original picture aspect ratio).
  • DVD Aspect Ratio: You can select the display configuration for playback of 16:9 screen pictures on a 4:3 screen TV. You can select from Letter Box or Pan & Scan.

Video Settings: The Sony UBP-X700 Ultra-HD Blu-ray player offers the following video adjustments:

  • Picture Quality Mode: You can select from 3 preset pictures settings (Direct, Brighter, Theater, Auto, or Custom) for different lighting environment. The Custom mode lets you adjust the contrast, brightness, color, and hue manually.
  • Noise Reduction: BNR reduces the mosaic-like block noise in the picture, MNR reduces minor noise around the picture outlines (mosquito noise), and FNR reduces the random noise appearing in a picture, while IP Content Noise Reduction enhances low-resolution web videos.

24p Output: Movies are typically recorded on film with a frame rate of 24 frames per second. When a movie is transferred to Blu-ray Disc at 24 frames per second the UBP-X700 will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.

Cinema Conversion Mode: The Sony Ultra-HD Blu-ray player offers two Cinema Conversion Modes - (1) Auto mode automatically detects whether the material is video-based or film-based, and switches to the appropriate conversion method. (2) The Video mode is suited for video-based material and will always be selected regardless of the content.

BonusView: The BonusView feature provides picture-in-picture capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view additional content (such as director/actor commentary) in a small display window while the movie is playing.

  • Dolby Digital Plus: Dolby Digital Plus was developed as an extension to Dolby Digital. The audio coding technology supports 7.1 channel surround sound.

It sounds like you need to speak with a technician for help. We send the toll free phone number for our technical support on the order invoice in case things like this happen with gear purchased from us. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, I recommend contacting the manufacturer for troubleshooting the issue

Suggest search the internet- Sony sells one on their website $47 and so do other places like amazon etc for much less. Suggest compare voltage with OEM.
douglas  Jan 01, 2021

This player uses a "wall wart" type power adapter. The Sony model number for the adapter is AC-M1215UC and the output is 12VDC 1.5A. The original adapter is available from Sony at their parts website which is run by encompass under part number 1-493-350-11. (unfortunately Crutchfield will not allow me to post the Sony website in this reply). There may be other sources for cheaper "knock off" adapters that may or may not work, but this one will give you the genuine Sony part.

Q
I want to connect this Sony 4K Blu-ray Player to my Yamaha RX-V681. Since this Blu-ray Player can have a dedicated video and audio HMDI connection, can I connect both of the dual HDMI connections to the Yamaha receiver (1 for dedicated Video and 1 for dedicated Audio)? Or do I need to run a separate HDMI to my television bypassing the Yamaha receiver?
potestus  Dec 29, 2020

A
You are'nt gaining anything by using both hdmi output of the player to the receiver. You only need 1, that's the beauty of it, hdmi combines high resolution audio and video in one input. The dual hdmi output of the Bluray player is for users that want to seperate the hi resolution audio (Sacd) to regular bluray movie watching.
rolando  Dec 30, 2020
A
The 4K Blue-Ray Player connected well with my Yamaha Receiver...so far works great and as advertised...the low end Sony Blue-Ray did not work that well and I eventually had to get a higher level Blue Ray Player...I have used only one HMDI connection and it seems to work fine...

Q
does this player up-scale regular blu-ray movies?
patrick  Dec 23, 2020

A
It does a bit, but not to the 4k level, you can't get full 4k from a blu ray, you can only get so much...but for the price it's a good player.
phil  Dec 23, 2020
Q
I'm looking for a Blu-ray player that will EASILY play audio CDs. I saw a question that said it will play them but what I want to know is what do I have to do to get it to play. Can I just drop the disk in and hit the play button on the remote? Or do I need to turn on the TV, navigate to a drop down, select the CD, wait for it to load and then have it play?

Hi Nathan, As I have a smart Tv(Sony)I have to navigate to the setting that deals with DVD's.load Your CD and select play.I'm currently using a DVD so I assume it will work the same way.Good Luck. John M
john  Nov 30, 2020
A
Once you drop the cd in and hit the play button, it'll play automatically to first track. Then you can directly hit the numbers on your remote to go to the corresponding track you want to hear. No tv needed.
rolando  Nov 30, 2020

You will need to hit power on the tv and DVD player find the input or source button on tv remote, select the input you have the DVD connected to then load a DVD and hit play.

I have an older Onkyo receiver (TX SR-703). It doesn't have an HDMI input but I think it has digital coaxial. Will this player work with it?
patricia  Jun 29, 2020

A
Yes, i believe so, just connect the HDMI Out 1 jack ( video/ audio) to your tv and connect the coaxial digital cable to your Onkyo receiver. It's a great player and does so much, like play SACD and 3D, good luck!
michael g  Jun 29, 2020
A
I doubt it. The coaxial connector is normally for audio only.
richard  Jun 29, 2020
A
Yes the Sony has a coaxial output
joseph  Jun 29, 2020
A
nn it only has ahdmi onlny a in and a out
gary l  Jun 29, 2020
A
Patricia, yes. On your Onkyo rear panel there are two digi (yellowish) coax in jacks in upper left corner when viewed from back. On the Sony the digi coax out jack is betw. the HDMI 2 port & the Caution symbol. The digi coax is an RCA-type plug, not a screw on like on your cable coax. You'll need to configure the receiver to recognize which digi coax in jack is your CD In. If you don't have your manual, your SR703 is in Crutchfield's Discontinued section. A link to online manual is right under the "What's in the box:" title. BTW, the reviews on your SR-703 are great. Enjoy!
bruce  Jun 29, 2020
A
For "Audio Only," yes it will. You will have to use the HDMI directly to your TV for the video.
gerard  Jun 29, 2020

I would think that would work just find. There have been no basic changes with this type of equipment for many more than 6 years. I currently have mine conected thru an Onkyo receiver. Previously, I had it directly connected to a Panasonic TC-P60GT30 with zero problems.

I do not think you will be able to use the blue-ray player if i remember it only has HDMI and there is no way to plug analog in to it. also I do not think there is an adapter not that I know of.
herbert  Jun 19, 2020

Not 100% sure. I would check Crutchfield first. I would imagine video signal would be reduced though. I'm sure Crutchfield could set you up with a new Amp!??
mark  Jun 19, 2020
A
I think there is an adapted to allow for HDMI to another type of input. I'm not sure what affect this could have on picture quality?
richard  Jun 19, 2020
A
I know of no device that will properly convert this signal. This is a 4K capable device that would be an even greater challenge. Conversion to coax might be possible but you would likely run into an HDPC compliance issue.

larry  May 29, 2020

Yes, it outputs via HDMI and passes digital audio through so it will depend on what your AV receiver or soundbar can decode. I get Dolby Atmos and DTS-X as well as other formats. Stereo or surround modes work as well, but again depends on the receiver or soundbar setting.

paul  Oct 28, 2018

The following is listed w/ the description. I have never done it but one would think it was doable. USB Port: The front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to play photo, videos, and music files on a connected USB device. The player can recognize Mass Storage Class (MSC) Devices that are FAT-compatible and Still Image Capture Devices (SICD) class devices. The player can recognize up to 500 folders/files. The USB port also allows you to enjoy additional content (such as BonusView) on certain Blu-ray Disc titles. Some BD-ROMs have bonus content and other data which can be downloaded to an inserted USB Flash Drive (minimum 1 GB recommended, sold separately).

It can play videos according to the linked owners manual. I don't see the format listed specifically but FAT32 or ExFat are supported by Sony TVs. If partition size is a concern look at the network playback options and it would be less relevant.

Most DVD and Blu-ray players are not capable of playing audio red book CDs properly with the dynamic realism of even a cheaper player. So my question is, those that have purchased this player, how well does it play cdâ??s and also inserted 2-3 TB hard drive hi-res files, 96/24 or 192/24? I know if will cover any needs with hdr including Dolby vision, but I need to know if it will play everything as well, or should I keep my 15 years old Denon cd/sacd/dvd-a player? Thanks

I hesitate to try to answer this as I'm more of an audiophile wanna-be. I have an Emotiva CD player that I use primarily but for multi-channel I have to use the Blu-ray with Anthem 520 receiver. My current SACD's are Tumbleweed Connection, Brothers In Arms, Pink Floyd box w/ AHM quad mix, and DSOTM Immersion box. I think they all sound wonderful. Also being somewhat of a pack rat I'd caution against getting rid of anything that's still operational.
john  Oct 09, 2018

This unit plays MP3 and a bunch of other compressed formats & audio CD's, DVD's, Blu-Ray's and 4k discs very well. As far as I know it does not play SACD or DVD-audio discs or any of the specialty discs, but you would need to ask Sony about it. I don't have any more of those type discs anymore.

I can only tell you about the Sony UBP-X700 which I am very pleased with. There is plenty of info and reviews about both on the web. After that, you decide. BTW the Sony UBP-X700 is cheaper and is upgradeable to Dolby Vision(DV) in about three minutes with a USB flash drive. The X800 does not have the DV option. I hope your question is answered.
luis a  Sep 03, 2018
A
The 700 supports Dolby Vision. The 800 doesn't. The 800 has a Bluetooth transmitter that sends audio from the player to Bluetooth-compatible headphones or speakers. The 700 doesn't. The 800 has free downloadable Sony SongPAL app (available from iTunes Store and Google Play) helps connect the player to your wireless network and controls playback, and volume. Also gives you control over other compatible Sony speakers as part of a multi-room music system and is Spotify® Connect compatible. The 700 isn't. The 800 has BD-Live and BonusView support for added bonus features with compatible discs (requires external USB storage device)/ The 700 doesn't.

One thing that I didn't expect was how much better this machine upgrades regular DVD's over my old BR player. The only "bad" thing about this unit is how light it is. Moves around easily, but is fine when just playing a disc. Hope this helps.
