Great detailed review, unboxing etc, looks like a good bit of kit for the money. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Ralph, really happy with it so far! Now all I have to do is upgrade the TV in my living room to 4k, but that will be a lot pricier, lol. take care
Nice detailed and easy to understand review, thanks Benn.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.
i love my sony 4k. just got it on new years eve
Glad you are happy, now get watching some amazing movies and tv shows! lol, thanks for watching.
Im debating on which 4k player to get, this one or phillips. I have a vizo e-series 4k 50 inch
Excellent review Benn !!! Congrats to the upgrade & to the new step of movie entertainment 👍myself I will be upgrading to 4K soon !
Hey Carlos, Thanks a lot, I still need to get a 4K TV for the living room and a few more 4k movies, I only have 1, lol, thanks for watching, have a great weekend!
I just got it on sale! Great video 👍
Thanks Jose!
Great review Benn, I have big chunky fingers too haha bloody tiny buttons and combined with my old eyes as well 😁 looks like a sweet player mate hope it serves you well, take care mate.👍😀👍
Hey Alan, yeah they need to design a special remote for us, lol. So far so good with the player, but always a bit apprehensive with technology nowadays! Sent that movie off to you, should be there next week! Take care mate
@@blu-raybenn4854 you naughty Benn, you didn't have to actually buy me a movie, I will treasure it mate, thanks in advance.👍😀👍
Any owners confirm if they have finally released firmware to allow dolby vision to switch automatically each time and not have to manually slect? Also is dolby atmos only from drive or also from usb port?
Fantastic review Benn, My family got me a Panasonic 4K player for Christmas, love it, just have to buy some films for it now lol
Hey buddy, Thanks a lot, I was also looking at a Panasonic, but decided on the Sony after reading so many good reviews, but I am sure they are all relatively similar. I also need to buy some 4K movies, ha ha ha, take care mate
Happy Blu Year Benn..
Glad you have not only joined tha 4K club of which I reckon I was one of tha founder members lol, its been 3-1/2 years fo me..he says showing off..
But they are amazing at upscalers as well, I have tha Panny UB900 & CES has just finished so I’ll be getting tha New Panny or Sony..
Best thing I tell people is always get tha 4K as it has tha BD as well. So its a win win...4K is region free, and I’m sure someone will point that out, If I recommend a 4K TV LG OLED or Tha New Sony OLEDs but tha LCD’s have come a long way so whatever is good for your budget, I did get your email and replied...
Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy..
Hope Christmas was dope and you n tha missus had a good time..
Love, Purpose n Peace MCD
Hey Davey Boy, how you been? Happy New Year, hope you had a good one, how is the family, and work?
Yeah, taken me a while to change to 4K, but still need a 4K TV in the living room and to pick up some actual 4K movies, only have one so far, lol.
So 4k is region free? Didn´t know that, thanks for the info, but still if you want to watch DVD and Blu Ray on this machine, being region B locked is important to know. Really good to hear from you buddy, and hope 2019 brings you everything you want! Take care.
I Got this Same 4K Ultra HD Sony UBP X700 Blu-Ray Player For my 4K UHD Smart TV I Love it 🥰
Glad you are happy with it! Thanks for watching and commenting Graham, really appreciate it
Sorry I couldn’t see if the power AC says 110-240v?? I am looking to import one from Spain to Canada. Can you please clarify
Great video Benn.
Looks like a great player.
I have a Panasonic 4k player and the controller is similar to the one on your player.I just bought it because it was the cheapest one and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
I miss a second hdmi output on my player but my soundbar have 4k passthrough so it's not a big deal.
Thanks Drax, glad you are happy with the Panasonic! Yeah if you can set up your network without needing 2 HDMI cables then that is excellent, but I needed 2! Thanks for watching, take care matey!
Does the Atmos work on the Netflix app in the player?
Is there dolby atmos for bluray and Netflix?
were is Audio Output to connect 5.1 speakers
I've just bought this BD player. When I got it at home I had a lot of problems. The BD player didn't work rightly, it was crazy. My Apple TV stopped to work. After a lot of hours, I found out the problem was a new HDMI 3 meters cable I had bought in order to be able to move further the furniture where I have all my set, A/V receiver, an old multimedia player, Apple TV 4K etc... This cable was to connect my A/V receiver by HDMI/ARC to my LG OLED C8 65" TV. So you already know, I've just bought a new cable from Amazon Spain and everything is ok. The old one was a brand called Primewire (Amazon Spain) 3 meters. The new one is a brand called PremiumTech (Amazon Spain too) a cable HDMI 2.1 which holds till 10K and 4K to 120HZ - Ultra High-Speed 48GB/s - Dynamic HDR (3 Meters too.) The old one was 12€, the new one is 74€. As we are used to saying in Spain "the cheap is expensive"
I'd like Sony updated its firmware in order to get the BD player to detect automatically what kind of video standard you are going to play (Dolby Vision or HDR). This player is set to play HDR. If you are going to play a Dolby Vision movie you have to change manually to Dolby Vision in the settings menú. It is impractical and tricky.
Glad you were able to sort out the problems you had at the beginning, I also had some problems with the first one I got, had to order a replacement, but I am happy now, thanks for watching and commenting, cuidate.
@@blu-raybenn4854 Lo haré amigo.
I love my My Sony UBP X700, because of Tubi and Slacker radio.
hi friend, player will play 4k file 60fsp
100000kbps ?
I have a tech challenging question. Can i... Watch Videos (MP4, MKV, AVI etc) via USB and does it read the SRT files (Subtitles).
I download a lot of foreign movies and it somes with a subtitles file, i usually use VLC player on my laptop and it worked on my previous TV, Not on my new tv.. Im looking for a dvd player with usb that has this. i really need subtitles to read. Please if you own this dvd player, can you test this and let me know, even show me a snapshot or video would be appreciated and i can buy asap.
Regards
I have the BDP-S3700 I wish the buttons were bigger on the remote because sometimes I press the pause button finding it to be stop, and the netflix button doesn't function on mine. 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.
Hi Vickie, thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it, take care.
Doses the HDMI output support ARC
Nice 4k player 😁
Thanks for watching Todd.
I have a .mp4 file on a dvd+r disc. If I insert the disc in will the file play
If it is burnt correctly, and on a good quality DVD disc, it should work, but I really can´t tell you for sure, why don´t you just put it onto a USB pen drive, that will def work
blu ray benn, in this x700 is disponible apps fandangonow and apple tv?
Hi there, no it doesn't have these apps, sorry, but this player was bought in Europe and depending on where you are from it has different apps, for example I know that in the US it comes with other apps, I just don´t know which apps come in each region, thanks for watching
How are these Apps downloaded or does it depend on the region you live in?
Good review Benn! 💪🙂👍 I'm sticking with my Xbox One for blu-ray films. Even though, I do own a PS4 as well.
Thanks mate, yeah, if you are happy with it, no need to upgrade, thanks for watching
I just picked this player up-along with a 55" Samsung 4K TV.
Great, and how are you liking it?
Love it-i also cant wait to start playing video games on the tv.
Hey is it Possible for you to make a video on BDV-N7200W, Sony Blu-ray Home Theatre System ?
I would like to, but I don´t have it, can´t do a review on something I haven´t used.
@@blu-raybenn4854 Hey no Problem. Thanks for replying
I have a 4K hdr roku tv. I don’t know if it supports uhd. If I get one of these 4K uhd players, will it work on my tv?
4k is UHD, so if you have a 4K tv, this player will work fine.
@@blu-raybenn4854 how much was your player? Also, why are all of them different prices? Like 100. 300. Even 500 dollars!
@@hasher4mvp mine was 200 euros, about 225 dollars, each one is a different price because they have different specs and quality.
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.
Any problems with the colour have to be adjusted, either on the player or the TV, you are gonna have to play around with it until it looks right, without being there with you, there isn´t really much I can do, sorry.
@@blu-raybenn4854 alright I’ll try my best tweaking the settings myself. Thanks for the help btw
Does this need to be plugged into the soundbar too?? i already have my soundbar in the tv
yes, it does, you need to get another cable to connect it to the soundbar
Good detailed review. I'm looking at getting this but heard a lot of complanis about 4k discs freezong two thirds in and needed a hard reset. Have you experienced any issues?
Hi Gary, I haven´t had any problems with physical media, and have watched many films and tv shows using this player, however, before having a firestick, I was using this player to use Netflix and UA-cam etc, and I had problems with it freezing. Maybe they have brought out and update to clear up any problems, but as I am not having any problems for the reasons I mentioned, I haven´t looked. Hope that has helped.
@@blu-raybenn4854 Great, thanks for the reply
Do I need a receiver or sound bar if I want sound? Or can I just hook up to my tv?
You can just hook it up to your TV and it will work fine, the soundbar is a nice addition to the set up, but not necessary, hope that has helped and sorry for the late response, I have been away, take care.
@@blu-raybenn4854 Is this player region free? Like will it be able to play DVD discs from ANY region without hassle?
The remote is confusing...there is no Power button to speak of...lots of icons though. I never know after viewing a dvd, if the player is on or off. When I click on the open.close icon, it turns on my Smart TV as I insert the dvd. ...but it does not play immediately, I have to choose the Home button and start the dvd from there. When I finish the play, i see the blue button is still on the player. I have to go over to the player press the right side button which I assume is the "power' and the blue turns off. Why can't there be an on/off button the remote?
Hello Anthony, my remote has a power button, and it is extremely clear, a green button on the top right of the remote, and it is of a larger size than the other buttons. With regards to the tv turning on when you insert a DVD, that is because this player has a connection system that turns on all the devices connected to the player, I for example press play on the player, and my tv and soundbar automatically turn on, saving me the time of picking up 3 different remotes to turn everything on. And when I insert a DVD, I dont press close tray, I press play while the tray is still open, it then closes and starts the film without having to do anything else. The player is on when the green light on the front of the player is lit, when the player is off, this green light is also off. I really don´t understand the problems you are having, maybe you have a different player, or remote, or it is faulty.
Wow
I'm seeing a lot of reviews saying that this player freezes a lot. That would suck cuz I'm interested in purchasing one.
hi there, it is true that the player freezes, mine works perfectly if I unplug it from the mains and plug it in again once a day, if not, when I want to watch a dvd, it freezes, it is annoying, but since I started doing that it hasn´t frozen for months now, a part from this problem, it is a great player. I hope that has helped.
Very good choice of player , just get yourself a oled tv now, best choice I ever made, they make led tv's look poor.
Good to hear I made a good choice, yeah def gonna look into a oled TV, just gotta save up for a while, lol, thanks for watching, really appreciate it, take care
Please do I need internet connection to operate the 4k player? I have no internet connection but intention to buy the player and my tv is a Samsung 4k. Thanks in advance for your answer.
If you want it to watch physical media, you don´t need internet connection, but if you want to use Netflix and have automatic updates for the player etc, you will need internet, it all depends on what you want to use it for. Hope that has helped.
@@blu-raybenn4854 thanks, I appreciate your help. In fact I just want it to watch bluray and 4K.
You just need to hit the display button to see running time while playing,no need to stop the show
I shall be getting this Player when I get my new TV. I just thought I would let you know that regarding there being no display you might find that there is a "Display" button on the remote itself which will display the chapters and the time and so on, to save you just pausing the film. There is one on my Sony Blu Ray player and the remote is the same size as this one.
Hey Lee, yeah, it has a display button, which gives me the info I need, but the problem is you have to get the remote, find the button, press it for the info, then re-press it to take the info off the screen again etc, it is not that much work, but if it had a display screen like my old player, it just takes a millisecond to look down. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it.
Hi Benn. My blu ray player which is the Sony BDPS4100 does have an on screen display but just like this UBP X700 it's a lot smaller player and I never really bother to look at it, and prefer the display button on the remote because it does give you more information than what the on screen display will give you. I think you will soon get used to the remote like I did with mine. To be honest I personally think the Sony UBP X700 is well overpriced especially regarding it's build quality and should retail at around £130 not it's £200 price tag. I am hoping it comes down a lot more by the time I get to buy it.
But despite it's cheaper build and being small, there is no doubt in my mind about how good it's functionality is. For example in January 2014 when I brought my Sony BDPS4100 I was amazed how good it performed and it was originally £120 and I got it in a sale for £69 brand new from Amazon. My Blu Ray player before that was the Sony BDP-S550 and cost me £350. It may have been built better and was a bigger machine, but I can assure you it was nowhere near the quality in performance of BDPS4100 which cost me near enough £300 less.
It was not even missing one single feature that the BDP-S550 had, and in fact had loads more features on it, such as Smart TV. 3D and even SACD. My Sony BDP-S550 only lasted 3 years and was very sluggish. It was in reality a Dinosaur or even a Bag Of Nails in comparison to the functionality of my Sony BDPS4100 which only cost me £69. It is still running today just like it was 5 years ago when I brought it. I have nothing but praise for the player and was quite Gobsmacked how you could get that amount of quality for so little. I only brought it originally because the BDP-S550 broke down and no longer wanted to play discs, and I was stuck for cash at the time and only wanted it to tie me over till I could afford something a bit better.
But when I had it I was just blown away by how good it was, and never even bothered to buy another Blu Ray player. Now my LG 32 inch HD TV is on the blink, but has served me well for more than 10 years now. So I am now saving for a new TV and being as I am, I thought it would be a good idea to step into the entry level of 4K TV. So I will be needing this UBP X700 to go with it, but I do hope it comes down a bit more over the next few months.
I ordered mine from Amazon Spain, and actually got it for 180 pounds , I am happy with the player, but I am having problems with Netflix, when I go to watch something, it won´t play and says there is a problem with the content I am trying to view, the only way to get it to work is turning off the player at the wall and restarting it, really annoying! @@LeeLucas
I have read other reviews that have had similar problems with the player and have had to turn it off and hopefully Sony will make an update to fix that issue. But I think regarding any updates most companies only do them for so long and as soon as they build a newer model they tend to forget about the older models and expect you to buy the latest. Hopefully Sony will sort it out before they move on to the next model.
I only really want the Blu Ray player for Blu Ray discs more so than the TV side of things and can always use the smart TV for that content. I do have Amazon Prime Video because I am an Amazon Prime member, but I rarely watch films and am more into my music. But I dare say when I get a 4K TV I will get back into buying Blu Ray films again only this time in 4K :)))))). But even most of those are not in 4K anyway and even streaming 4K will not give you what a disc will regarding quality. So as long as the Blu Ray player does not freeze on me that will be fine. I am sorry to hear you are having these issues and I do hope Sony sort it out.
Yeah, I have also read similar reviews, I suppose they will do an update if they get quite a lot of complaints. I need to start getting some 4K titles too, that way when I get a 4K tv I will be able to experience them in all their splendour Thanks for the info Lee, really appreciate it, have a great Sunday !@@LeeLucas
I bought john wick 4k it doesnt look 4k at all. I have a 4k smart tv and The same 4k blu ray player. With the 4k hdmi, what could be the issue?
Are you sure you have connecting all the right cables to all the right places? There should be no problem if both your tv and player are 4K, or maybe it is the disc itself, or the transfer of the 4K version of the film is badly done.
Some movies aren't true 4k, they're upscaling of 2k into 4k so u have to be careful of marketing. Usually Blu-ray.com gives you the specs of the CD so check them out before buying any expensive 4k movie. If it's a cheap 4k than buy it blindly, for example; I found the new Spiderman 4k for $10. I bought it asap without checking any spec info.
Anyone bought this recently? I read it had so many bugs like freezing. How is it now after sony firmware updates? Please reply I am interested in this player. Its very economical to buy.
Same...
Got one a couple of months ago. Good or bad point, it is extremely light and compact, ideal for caravan/motorhome or tiny bedroom. Very bad point, I discovered it does NOT play sound on DVD's and at the extraordinary price of 4K discs and lack of available, worthwhile films I won't be purchasing any, ever, apart from the already bought 4K '2001' as I have hundreds of DVD's plus dozens of Bluray's which are fine on my non 4K players.
I have played DVDs on mine, and there were no sound problems, maybe yours is faulty.
about the apps i dont think that you get usa apps.if you do order one from the usa by ebay you get the factory software as usual and you have to update as usual to get aditional apps and at that moment the x700/800 sees from what location you update and put the Euro apps in . youtube an netflix are everywhere the same offcourse By the way about region locked:i used to make sony players region free when it was stil easy with the remote now its not needed anymore anyway just download serviio on you pc (free (and posible with other server software too) and download passkey light(free version) you can add de dvddrive or blu raydrive on pc in the library from serviio (first put disc in pc drive not spinning but so drive is awake so to speak) serviio can then see drive add it to its library and.paskeylight wil give serviio acces or the sony i should say to also see the final file on disc where the movie is in vob or mts ( paskeylight(from dvdfab site its a free separate download but just search for paskeylight and let do its thing when you put disc in pcdrive as it scans the whole disc (serviio can be little slow to update the contents in its library but it will work. then in the x700 or 800 you can pick that final file on disc in pc vob or mts mts is usual largest stream that has the movie (pick yellow serviio logo in sonynetwork and go to the folder on pc dvd drive D or E where it is and you can pick and play that final vob to stream to player offcourse just the pure videofile vob etc no menus etc.that way you can play your region 1dvds collection on the /x800 strangely i dont see that network logo on your x700 general menu that would be a major difference between the x700 and x800 you need for above to work that network app that x800 has its a tv logo i only see on yours usb and miror or they must have put it in x700 all under mirror logo but in the x800 there is a separate tv logo On other x700 utubes i see now the same tv logo as on the x800 so the x700 and x800 are the same with that network thing
Does this work with a laptop? I don't have a good TV but I own some blu ray discs that I want to watch.
I am not sure, but if your laptop have hdmi connection, it should, but it does mean that you need to have your laptop close to a plug, because the blu ray player needs to be plugged in.

Hiya Benn :) This is pretty uncanny. I actually purchased the Sony UBP X700 4K Player with the All Zone Code Free Multi Region option it seems pretty much at the same time as you were getting your machine. I received mine on the 10th January.
Great walk / talk through the machine video here Benn. Thanks for sharing :)
My experience of the player to this point has been overall highly pleasing, but thought I would also share here what I have picked up in using the machine & putting it through its paces as there are a few things that are very much worth bringing to peoples attention I feel.
I have the player hooked up direct to an LG 55inch OLED 4K 3D TV & a 5.1 Yamaha sound bar.
My TV as you can see is able to show 3D, in Passive 3D manner, and does so stunningly well. The LG TV also benefits not just from the High Dynamic Range HDR 10 but also the highly detailed & quite stunning Dolby Vision. One of the benefits of this Sony 4K Blu-ray is of course the upgraded inclusion of Dolby Vision, which definitely adds a beautiful & immersive visual quality to viewing material. The Dolby Vision shows up on the players set up right away as you will have discovered & when turned on shows programming & digital disc movies with the Dolby Vision, even on a non 4K TV I believe, but only in enhanced form, rather than true form when using a 4K TV & Dolby Vision enhanced 4K Blu-ray discs, of which there are very few at this present time. This will improve quickly though as Dolby Vision is highly regarded & home view fans are aware of & want, which is great as it definitely shows more dynamic depth & quality than the very good HDR 10.
Most peole largely without noticing, being aware though, will not immediately notice that if the Dolby Vision is switched on, & left on with this player, & the image being watched is not true Dolby Vision compliant, such as through Netflix programming which does have a pretty good deal of shows and films with Dolby Vision, such as the Marvel shows, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones etc, that there is in fact an audio lip synch issue, which for me is a real problem. Initially I could not work out why suddenly with this new player, hooked up the same way my other 3D Blu-ray player was, delivered lip movements not matching the sound being spoken ! I ran through all the connections etc & then worked out that the Dolby Vision app through this Sony UBP X700 for me needs to be off & only turned on when I am watching compatible Dolby Vision programming through Apps like Netflix & UA-cam or when I actually have a Dolby Vision 4K Blu-ray disc to play on the machine, which at present I do not.
With my television having Dolby Vision intelligently recognising for itself a Dolby Vision compliant program, it of course will engage itself automatically, which is perfect. The Sony player does not have this luxury in this current form, so for me the Dolby Vision aspect needs to be turned off or all programing pretty much has the lip synch sound issue. I most definitely will pick up Dolby Vision 4K discs in the future, so just switching the players Dolby Vision ON when I play is no issue at all, & as I say all other Netflix / UA-cam shows through the TV switch to Dolby Vision perfectly automatically anyway.
The Sony UBP X700 as you will now also be aware also allows for the playback of 3D discs. One of the reasons I have finally gone all Multi Region player wise is because of the diversity of world region & 3D discs that I actually have. Not being able to pick up NTSC Region Blu-rays was becoming a real issue as of course there are so many wonderful films & releases not available to us other than from America in particular. No issue on DVD but Blu-ray is. Not any more thankfully as this All Zone Code Free Multi Regional chipped version of the Sony UBP X700 that I now have truly does it all & I managed to secure for just under £300 including a free 4K disc of the Star Wars: Solo film, so not so much more with the all region capability than what you were able to nicely secure for yourself.
The 3D play back is Fantastic, if not the best I have yet witnessed from a player, which is great news on top of all the other plus points this player delivers.
3D Blu-rays do not come with Dolby Vision capability, but conversely do allow for IMAX presentation, that oddly it seems 4K discs do not ?! Another thing with having the Dolby Vision turned on with this player however is that it disengages the 3D so again a reason to have the Dolby Vision turned off, until it is actually compatibly useable.
When you upgrade to a nice new 4K TV Benn you may just want to consider one that has 3D capability to take advantage of the Sony players 3D disc playability. I would recommend an LG 3D 4K TV as they use Passive 3D technolgy, which is much like then having the 3D glasses you use at the cinema. The other 3D TV formats use field sequentail technology 3D which means you have to use 3D glasses that require batteries & they do not last so long at all & become an annoyance. Passive 3D is the best way to go using the LG TVs in my experience & humble opinion.
So there it is. Hopefully this proves to be helpful & informative to folk considering purchasing the very smart & cost effective Sony UBP X700 4K 3D Blu-ray Player as it is indeed a great choice, but please do be aware of the niggles regarding the Dolby Vision with lip synch & 3D play back of discs.
I do agree with your view regarding the remote control as well Benn. It is too small, but I guess part of keeping the price highly competitive & likely shaving about £15-£20 off the cost of the machine was in making this so small, but still useable, along with not supplying an HDMI cable.I am really liking the player though, having worked my way around the niggles & seemingly now having it work for me in a way I am fully apprised of. Oh, the lack of a darned timer / visual front clock is indeed frustrating as I too like to see where I am with a film.
Anything else you may like to ask about the machine or a new 4K TV please do feel free to ask away Benn. Have a great new week ahead :)
Morning Paul, I just took the morning off work so I can read your comment, lol.
That is a coincidence, great minds think alike. Thanks for putting the info on the Dolby Vision, I am sure it will help many people out, especially the problem with the lip-synch. I have heard that we are still unable to get the true potential of Dolby Vision as home cinema is still behind in the technology and hopefully in the future we will be able to have true dolby vision in future devices.
I did realise that it also plays 3D movies, but in truth I dislike the 3D format, and I know I will never use it, good to know, though. And of course, having a region free player opens up a whole new world for us Europeans in physical media, even if it is just with blu ray, as 4K doesn´t have that problem. Having said that, my player set me back 186 euros, about 165 pounds, so for the region option it does cost a whopping 135 quid more, which for some people would be a decision breaker, even with Solo on 4K.
Thanks for watching and for leaving this mammoth comment! Take care
Hi Benn :) Hope your morning off was worth it ;) The price deal you got on this machine is Excellent & overall the Sony UBP X700 is a serious consideration for anyone considering getting a 4K player. I am really pleased & enjoying the freedom of the Multic Region that one I went for delivers.
The Dolby Vision niggle I think can be addressed by Sony with a future update. If they can give the Dolby Vision its own sensor capability, which my LG 4K TV has, in that when a Dolby Vision enhanced / capable program is playing the sensor recognises & turns the Dolby Vision on for you. Which is why at present for me I will have it turned off & I act as the human sensor & turn the option on to watch the Dolby Vision programming ;) It really is superb though & most definitely noticeable over regular HDR 10.
I just purchased a 4K Dolby Vision Blu-ray movie to get the full disc experience, Jumanji Welcome To The Jungle to watch & enjoy. There will now be a great deal more 4K Dolby Vision Blu-rays coming out. I am really looking forward to seeing / getting, Overlord.
I don't know if it helps at all regarding the 3D with you, but the Passive 3D format on home format TV is pretty much pin perfect, no ugly drop outs or ghosting, eye strain issues, just the very best way to experience & enjoy. I really do enjoy sitting down with a 3D film at least once a month & my collection of 3D films is pretty vast now ! I really like the old school 3D films such as, Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954), House Of Wax (1953), The Bubble (1966) & the Eighties 3D revival with Big Fun silly flicks like, Parasite (1982), Metalstorm (1983), Spacehunter (1983) Comin' At Ya (1981) & Treasure Of The Four Crowns (1983), a lot of these I actually got to see in 3D at the cinema in the mid to late Eighties & fondly remember having a real blast with watching with friends.
There are quite a few Blu-ray 3D releases that are Region A locked, so thankfully now I am able to overcome this. One 3D classic Sci-Fi flick I will most definitely now be picking up Region A is, Gog (1954).
Anyway, I really hope that you get great benefit from this Sony 4K player & if there may be any other points, queries you may have please do let me know. I have given it a full work out now & feel completely at home with it & used to its set up & all round use. Here's to many years of reliable & enjoyable service & use :)
Hey Paul, yeah I am sure Sony will come out with an update eventually, Jumanji is gonna look amazing in 4K and with Dolby Vision!
I have been having a few problems with my machine, it has frozen on various occasions and the only way to get it working again was to unplug it at the socket, so think I am gonna have to send it back, really annoying as these things take a while!
Hi Benn. Sorry to hear you are having issues. The freezing & Lip Synch do seem apparent, so we have had a case of both, one each between us ! Did you send the machine back for a replacement ?
The lip synch is prevelant when the Dolby Vision is turned on, so hopefully that can be sorted with an upgrade download later from Sony. It seems that the functionality of sound distribution / connectivity between this player & LG TVs from 2016 / 2017 is an issue, which again hopefully can be sorted. I have a 2016 OLED LG 4K TV of course, but as the TV has Dolby Vision built in, which works fantastically, the only problem for me is when playing the 4K Dolby Vision discs or using the Dolby Vision on the Sony. A lesser annoyance for me than what you have unfortunately. The quietness of the player is truly wonderful though, makes my previous machine sound like a hovercraft. Great not to hear the machine in use & just enjoy the movies. Jumanji is a terrific film, really enjoyed & the 4K looks lovely :)
Have a great weekend Benn.
I sent the first player back for a replacement, and then the replacement was even worse! I sent that back, and I am currently testing the third one, been using it for 2 days and so far no problems, that said, I have had issues with Netflix on all 3 machines, some shows don´t load, and the only thing I can do is turn the player off at the wall, and restart it, bit annoying, but I suppose I can put up with it. About the dolby vision, I have read many comments about lip synch problems, sony def need to come up with an update for that. @@buckaroobanzai
i got this player . but when I pressed the dedicated netflix button is appear on my screen "this service cannot be accessed at this time" but on screen menu , I can open the netflix.
I did factory reset the player, but still having the same issue. Am from Philippines by the way, maybe there's something to do with my ISP? i don't know
hinthere, I am not sure why that is happening, when I press the Netflix button it opens the app with no problem, maybe it is because your Netflix subscription is set on your smart TV, and not the player?
@@blu-raybenn4854 yes. I do have active netflix on my smart TV as well. Will check that.also the menu apps are only netflix Spotify UA-cam kids and UA-cam. Can't add anymore apps. Thanks
@@ajoemar2009 yeah, the worst thing about this player is that you cant add any more apps, a bit annoying, but if you have the smart TV, it is not a huge problem. Take care.
@@blu-raybenn4854 my previous Panasonic regular blu-ray player has more feature on apps. But yeah I just got this Sony to enable play a 4k Disc.anyway thanks for inputs. Stay safe
USB ports NTFS support 64 GB 2.0 flash drive
Does this player allows subtitles customization ?
no
How do you connect wireless
this machine is not wireless
Do I need a HDMI 2.1 upgrade for a better experience?
In my experience, upgrading the HDMI cable gives very minimal improvement on viewing experience.
This is a 4K UHD PLAYER Different from a regular blue Ray Player. When u load an UHD disc. The player shines. A reg BLUE RAY Disc it’s about the same to polished. If your gonna use UHD Discs Get it. Otherwise it’s like an enhanced Blue Ray Player. It upscales. But your 4 k upscales too. Get it
Hi there, has this player dolby atmos support??? Thanks, good video.
Hey there, yes it does support Dolby Atmos (bitstream), thanks for watching, really appreciate it.
I go to the store to test if the player reproduce dolby atmos from an mkv played by usb, and no, no problem with dts-hd but with truhd-Atmos it says video not supported, I reas about this in some forums, and it s real, no dolby atmos from mkv, do you have test this?? Thanks.
I don´t have a mkv test, but on the specs page it says it supports atmos, maybe it is only with physical media.
@@blu-raybenn4854 how do you set that up
@@EddyMad20 it is all in the video
DOES IT SUPPORT hdcp 2.2...Also HDMI cables are all the same other than 1.4 vs 2.0
Hi there, it does not support hdcp 2.2.
@@blu-raybenn4854 Of course it has to support hdcp 2.2 to play 4K blu-ray discs. If it doesn't support hdcp 2.2, then it's not a 4K blu-ray player.
Hi Ephraim, I have been reading into it and you are right, to display 4K content, a player needs to have hdcp 2.2, however, this particular player does not have it written on the back, so I assumed (wrongly) that it did not support it. thanks for commenting, I am sure it will help out a lot of people who have the same query as Peter.
Hi Peter, after consulting with another person commenting on this video, I wanted to let you know that it does support hdcp 2.2, sorry for any problems this may have caused you.
@@blu-raybenn4854 Hi Benn ive just read the manual and did some research HDCP 2.2 is a hand shake to the TV or Projeotor AV reciver created by hollywood to help prevent copy right.
does it play UHD BD 100GB triple layer discs ?
I am sorry Peter, but I don´t know. If anyone has an answer, please write it under this comment.
I have one, Yes.
@@moisesvaladez8162 how is your player doing any problems ?
I’ve bought this model 3 times has ever time I try watching a 4K movie it keeps freezing
Yeah, this model has problems with freezing, I have found that if you unplug it from the wall socket before using it, it doesn´t freeze, it is a pain in the ass, but at least it works well afterwards.
That’s because you got the winter model. 🥶 ❄️
@@mrk1075 lol, thanks for watching
Try a better quality HDMI cable and see if that eliminates the freezing.
@@mrk1075 I did try that, bought a really good one, still freezes, but thanks for the advice, have a good weekend
Hace you tried 4k mkv rips via lan or USB?
Hola Jose! No, no he probado 4K mkv rips, lo siento, pero creo que valdria para este reproductor, lo que pasa es que no te lo puedo segurar.

How do you add apps?
You can´t, it is really annoying, I also wanted to add apps when I got it, so angry to find out you can´t, unless you are a a computer science wizz and know a way?
I think a better way is to get a affordable Roku to get apps it’s way better luckily the TV set I got has one built in but one in the living room didn’t have one and got one during Black Friday very very cheap.
Why does FOXNEWS keep showing up in apps? How do I get rid of it?
I think each region/country has pre-programmed apps, I have Spanish apps that are always there
Question : is this a true UHD bluray player ? Or does it just “ upscale “ the discs
it is true UHD, and then it upscales blu rays, but of course, you still need a 4K tv.
@@blu-raybenn4854 thank you
I'm only getting one because my PS4 can't do 4K
Hello! Please, help! In your opinion, Sony x700 is "good player and best buy" or "all time freezings and garbage"???
It freezes a lot, I have had quite a few problems, both when using Netflix and when watching films and series on physical discs, really annoying!
Thank you for your answer!
You are very welcome, sorry for the late reply, I was away for the weekend, thanks for watching, take care
Lol mines got delivered last night, I don't know how I feel about it lol I already have the LG up870 4k but it doesn't have Dolby, only HDR 10. It looks pretty close to the Sony x700. I might return it but I don't know, maybe the Sony has some benefit in the long run. But probably not since it blocked Disney plus app lol
You can use it for a couple of weeks and if you are not happy or don´t see any advantages over your other player, just send it back.
@@blu-raybenn4854 lol i'm actually going to keep it, i like it now (after doing more test)... Plus it's better at upscaling then the LG. I was able to see the difference once I turned off Dolby vision on the Sony. I noticed if u leave it on it forces DV on every thinggggg so now i have to figure out if the movie has it or not, or else it'll turn skin tone extra red(i don't know about ur tv but on new oledtv it becomes strong) ..... Btw how did u get over this issue. It's annoying. For example; I'm watching Harry Potter collection but it's in Blu-ray shouldn't it be HDR or Dolby vision since it's blu-ray. On the box it doesn't say anything.
Does this work with a laptop? I don't have a good TV but I own some blu ray discs that I want to watch
Is this actually a 4k UHD blu-ray player or is it only upscaling to 4k?
it is a true 4K pllayer, but also upscales blu rays to 4K.
What is 0 inch and 2.1 inch meaning
I don´t really understand your query, is it something I say in the video?
How can I download apps?
you can´t, I have tried, couldn´t find out how.
can i watch a 4k movie without updating the player?
When you turn it on for the first time there is an update, but I imagine you can skip it or leave it for later if you don´t want to update it, do you mind if I ask why, do you not have internet?
thank you , i only use the phone but I'm going to get hotspot

@@blu-raybenn4854 Do you actually see the difference between HDR and Dolby Vison? I tried a few medias and looks about the same to me.
@@arielrodriguez6980 truth be told, I don´t see much difference, it also depends on what you are watching, some 4Ks sound better than others, just like some have better picture quality than others.

Yeah I don’t like it. I put my old blu-ray player back up and this one is just collecting dust now. Pisses me off
@@Judyhopps-1iq I don’t care what you think

@@blu-raybenn4854 I mean a a cord thank you as you can see my dum ass is a guitar player,that's all I think about
Ha ha ha, I also play the guitar, so don´t worry about it. Anyway, it has a power cord, but it is plugged into an AC adapter, and then the AC adapter connects to the blu ray player, there is no direct power cord from the player to the mains, at least in this European model, hope that has helped, sorry for the late reply.
@@blu-raybenn4854 thank you
I like that simple controller, and I don't think that the buttons are to close! To be honest, that controller to the left from you are exactly the bad negative you said about Sony's controller! Are you shore that you had the right controller in your hand? And why are you negative about no display showing you how much time it is left on a movie? If you dont have time to watch a movie, then why start a movie in the first place? That isn't something to dislike really! I rather forget about the time when watching a movie, specially if it is a really good one, than having a display that i can look at, that helps me wanting / wishing the movie to end soon enough! I'm not an expert either, but I do catch a few things sometimes. And a blue ray player isn't build and meant to hit the floor, so it should be just fine normally, don't you think! But i do agree, it is a fine blue ray player for the money!
Hi there, first off, thanks for watching, really appreciate it, yes I am holding and talking about the correct controller, and I have a lot of problems with the buttons, many times I want to pause a film or Netflix and I press the stop button at the same time, it is so annoying, my wife has the same problem and always shouts at me, and many people have told me they have the same problem.
With regards to the time display, I watch things while having lunch before work, and it is really useful to have to see if I will be able to see an episode of something in time before leaving and as my old player had it, I had become used to it so much that now I find it annoying not to have it, hope that has explained your queries, thanks again, take care and merry Christmas.
@@blu-raybenn4854
Both me and my wife and the rest in our family have no problem with the controller whatsoever, very easy to use. I think that people have other controller in use, which they are more used to, and that could in some cases be the reason why people do press wrong button. Merry Christmas to you as well, and hopefully a good happy New Year 2020.

Same.
