    ERRATA: As it turns out the player is not automatically switching out of Dolby Vision when a non Dolby Vision disc is inserted. This is not good but I believe it can be corrected in future firmware updates. This does not impact my favorable review of the product as it is reasonably priced for a Dolby Vision blu-ray playback device. Out of my collection only one film currently supports this HDR mode.

      @AgeBoelens 6 років тому +1

      Lon.TV Thank you for the update. I read about this bug as well and tried it out. Strange thing is that output for a normal Blu-ray was HDR and not Dolby Vision with DV switched on. At least according to the little sign in the top corner of my LG TV.

      Hey Lon! Why do you say you can't make an MKV file of your Star Wars movie with Dolby Vision like you've been doing with your Blu-ray movies since ages?

    • @capcomfan82
      @capcomfan82 6 років тому +3

      Lon.TV you have to switch it on manually in the settings for every Dolby Vision movie

      I've sent my unit back to retailer for a refund as the firmware update was buggy. On contacting Sony support (who were absolutely useless) they asked me to change my HDMI cables and try on a different TV.!!!! Really? This for a issue which prevented me trying to check for software updates? 😖

    I ended up upgrading my receiver to 4k HDCP 2.2 a couple of years ago and I'm glad I did. 4K will be around for awhile and having a receiver capable of switching those sources is well worth it!

  • @AKSBSU

    The audio out port is one of the most pleasant surprises with this player. I've put somewhat of a freeze on major electronics upgrades until HDMI 2.1 is available and I'm sure all my electronic devices are going to be compatible with each other and the new tech, but this puts me in a jam in terms of audio given I have a nice but now outdated Marantz receiver that can't pass 4K/ HDR and certainly isn't going to do Dolby Vision. This player lets me bypass that issue entirely for movies and Netflix/ Amazon Video. The image quality is also surprisingly good. 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner and BR: 2049 look incredible on this player. Even an upscale from a 2K intermediate like Aquaman looks amazing in Dolby Vision.

    Got this device last week. Love it so far, but sometimes when I try to turn it on, it keeps saying "No signal" and I have to unplug/replug the HDMI on my TV. Also, when I try to load Prime Video sometimes the screen just turns black and it won't load.

    @victor2410 6 років тому +2

    Roku ultra does that frame rate switching black screen while in Netflix menu as well when you set it to switch refresh rate. I'm guessing the only way to fix it would be for Netflix app to force same frame rate as menus (eg 60p) in the menus despite frame rate of trailers.

    Hello
    i wanted first of all to tell you that you do a great job and we appreciate your work . my question for the sony X700 . is he capable of reading without freezing or lacking 4K by dlna (without using wifi but with cable) ? because in your review you mentionned that it was not good for playing 4K files via network dlna. is it for wifi connection or rj45 cable connection ?
    thanks in advance

    @mgedeonj3 5 років тому

    Good review! I was hoping you would spend a little more time on the audio streaming feature as well. I have found out a lot of those streaming devices are not showing the album arts when streaming from your media server. Is it because of the Apps that are installed on those units? Especially this unit UBP-X700 doesn't give you a choice of going to Pay Store and download the App of your choice. You are stuck to what is given to you by the manufacturer. I was thinking about buying another pc just to solve those issues. What say you? Is there any streaming device that you know of that addresses this issue?

  • @bradthurkle7217
    @bradthurkle7217 5 років тому

    I have this player and can highly recommend it. Does everything thing I want and more.$375 at JB HIFI is pretty cheap for a dedicated 4k with Dobly Atmos DVD player. Would of been good tho if able to add other apps but no biggy considering there’s utube and Netflix ect. Can’t complain at all really she’s a beauty I love it.

  • @pedromvuus
    @pedromvuus 6 років тому +1

    You have been going through the same path as me, since moving to 4k I am finding that my latest aquisition the Apple TV seems to be the better overall option especially because my projector doesn't support full 18gbps bandwidth and it was a pain to have to manually keep changing modes and there were some color inconsistencies across some of them.
    You should probably do an updated review of the Apple TV now that it can match content automatically as opposed to converting everything to HDR.

    It doesn't look like any questions are answered here, but I will try anyway. I don't seem to be getting 5.1audio from my standard DVDs with the player hooked up thru HDMI A/V to the TV and then from the TV thru HDMI/ARC to my Vizio Atmos soundbar. Do I need to hook it up separately from the HDMI Audio port to the soundbar directly? Why won't the 5.1 sound pass thru? Kind of defeats the purpose of switching inputs on the TV (TCL Roku). Any help appreciated.

It also doesn't have amazon which got terminated wish it had it.. I do like the upscaling so if someone didn't have a 4K television would it still upscale to full screen or near 4K . Nice video I wish I could be as relaxed as you on video thank you for your review.

    hey love your videos man. Just got my sony ubp x700 in the mail last week and tested out for a couple of days. One thing I noticed is that the picture on this blu-ray player looks darker when compared to my ps4 pro when playing standard blu-rays. Ive set the video settings to auto on the blu-ray player and tried tweaking the custom settings to match with the brightness of the ps4 pro. However, Im afraid i would'nt have the most accurate picture or even make the picture worse as Im not a professional in adjusting the contrast/brightness. fyi ive hooked up both of this devices to the same amp (through hdmi hdcp 2.2) that is connected to the tv. I would really appreciate if you could help me with this problem.

    There's videos online saying the Dolby Vision update is currently buggy on the X700. It forces all content to Dolby Vision mode as there's no auto detect. This means you will need to keep turning the option on and off on Dolby Vision content or non Dolby Vision content. Plus owners with 3D TVs. When Dolby Vision option is enabled on the X700 the 3D is turned off. To run 3D discs you will need also need to keeps switching back and forth the options.

  • @RobLansdown
    @RobLansdown 3 роки тому +1

    Just in case anyone is interested in getting Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray home rips to play over the network with HD audio (DTS Master and Dolby TrueHD/Atmos): the solution was to create m2ts files instead of mkv. First use makemkv to create a folder backup of the disc (rather than rip to mkv) then use the UHD Ripper tool in DVDFab to mux the folder to an m2ts file (making sure to use "passthrough" by ticking the "copy video" and "copy audio" boxes). The resulting file spins up very quickly and will pass DTS Master HD, Dolby TrueHD and Atmos to your receiver. There's also a free method (DVDFab is shareware) involving using eac3to to create a Dolby TrueHD + DD5.1 track which you mux with the video track using tsmuxer but I found it to be really hit and miss. Just a quick note, I found mkv files with DTS Master HD audio do actually work on this player but can take up to 60 seconds to load, this was connected via ethernet, I had less luck over wifi. UPDATE: sadly the 10/100 port on the X700 isn't fast enough to stream from PC or DLNA server. It does work on USB but must be a SATA SSD or HDD (as flash drives don't allow fast forward or rewind on m2ts files, only mkv).

    I bought this player after watching this review that it can send audio to a soundbar thru HDMI2 out. I did the same connection as in pg 13 picture B and pg 24 HDMI Audio Output to HDMI2, but no audio on my Polk MagniFi Mini soundbar. So i think i need to return back the player, as the only reason for my buying is better audio to my soundbar than my TV does.
    But on good side of the player, it does enhance the audio of TV speakers thru HDMI1 out. Mainly UA-cam from sony sounded better than UA-cam on FireTV

    Thinking about buying this. I wouldn't have any problems in fitting this to a Denon AVR then onto the LG 4K OLED C2 EVO 120hz. I've heard a lot of good reviews. I have many old CDs and DVDs. But want to replace my lost and old CDs to Blue Ray as much better sound and picture quality. Thanks for sharing. :-)

      There moaning because you shouldn't have to manually shut it off. No other brand with DV does that. Sony a stupid update. Do you realize some people buy players not knowing what it does,imagine all those Sony players going back to the store because they think it's a defective player, and well it is with this update. Also on the box it doesn't say Dolby Vision yet the new batches say dolby vision ,I wonder if Sony made a change with the software.

When I play brand new 4K Avengers which has Dolby Atmos Decoded, when I hit INFO button, it shows up Audio Track has DolbyTrueHD 7.1? Does that mean it is not playing Dolby Atmos? Does info supposed to say DOLBY ATMOS? I would appreciate the help.

      It seems like the x800 offers a few bells and whistles minus the dolby vision that 700 does not very minor though.

      I also tried out the samsung 8500 before i had the sony and sony is by far superior in my opinion

      @Pepsiisbetterthanwine 5 років тому

      the UBK80 is crap. there's 0 settings to play with. you can't shut off the ARC/CEC on it, so it just automatically switches to the player every time you turn the TV on. (unless of course - it's plugged in to a non-arc port on the tv - then you get nothing in terms of lossless audio). on your AV receiver, it still does the same thing, unless you disable it completely there too. It's plays 4k discs really well though.

    OK, I need help. All of my equipment is rather old. I recently tried to watch a Netflix Blu-ray DVD on my old Blu-ray player and it would not show the movie telling me that I needed to update my firmware. I called and they don’t even have my Blu-ray player on their computer anymore so I decided to upgrade I just bought the Sony UBP-X700 Ultra HD blu-ray player. While trying to hook it up today I discovered that my TV was so old I needed to upgrade it also, so I bought the TCL 55S405 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV.
    Before I go any further are these two pieces of equipment compatible?
    You probably know where this is heading. My receiver is so old it can’t handle the new TV and new 4K Blu-ray DVD player. I feel like I’m in over my head. Can someone recommend a new receiver for my set up. Jeez, when did technology flash by me in the fast lane while I’m creeping along in the right slow lane. I will appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Thank you.
