Sony BDPS1700 Wired Streaming Blu-Ray Disc Player (2016 Model) (Renewed)

Despite all the negative reviews, I decided to make a purchase anyway. Its Sony, and one of the lowest price blu-ray player out there. I got this for my mom. She only uses the disc feature and nothing else. She said it plays most of her Vietnamese discs so I would say this is a region free player. The ones that do not work. I assume they burned them wrong or there were issues with the discs. I just find those videos on the internet and re-burn them for her. She also likes the simplicity of the remote control. When I tried to set it up for her, I noticed it is much quieter and faster compared to our old Blu-ray player. I was inclined to get a Samsung due to her Samsung TV and soundbar. But then, this one has a power led indicator, and the Samsungs do not have one. It pairs with the Samsung TV just fine, and the TV pairs with the soundbar.

I have had this for 3 months now and I love it. It plays all my DVD, Blu-ray, and audio CD discs. It is wired so you don’t have the radiation, interference, or performance degradations from a wireless system. I had no trouble connecting it to my ethernet network and updating the firmware. We mostly use the applications for Pandora, Amazon Prime video, Netflix, and YouTube. This week, we loaded up an external USB drive with Mpeg and VOB video files, and MP3 and AIFF audio files, and all of them played great. The only bad thing is that the user interface is slow, but we do not care at all because the unit is so low priced and works so well.

I am officially an old lady now. I am in IT, and I know that everything can be bought digitally now. Heck, I dont even have a lot of DVDs. And I have never in my life bought a DVD player for myself, only my parents and grand parents. I just used the one on my computers if i needed to watch a DVD. But the desktop I use as a DVD player is starting to get old (12 years), and newer computers dont have a DVD drive; and I was just not quite ready to not have a DVD player. Buying a wifi one for my Macs would have run me about $120, and this was cheaper, so I bought it. This would be great for someone without a smart TV, as it has Netflix ect. I have a Smart TV that hooks up to my iTunes, so all i needed it to do was play DVD and BlueRay, and it works great for that. I might hook it up to the internet, as most bluerays have a digital copy you can download, but works great and was small enough to hide under my TV, whichI love.

Bought this primarily to use for Netflix - hasnt disappointed me. Easy to set up, easy to navigate, works as advertised. Great price, cant go wrong with less than $40 for a streaming Blu-Ray player.

I’ve had the product (Sony BDPS1700 refurbished) for nearly a month now. I hooked it up to hdmi, power, and Ethernet cables out of the box. Turned it on, and the player automatically did an initial check to update the operating system. It updated via the internet connection. It has not done an automatic update since but it does note to you whether there is an update available. I’ve not had a problem with the tray being stuck on child protection. It works for blu-ray and dvds. I would buy it again because of the pricing to comparable new products.

Product packaging on this re-furbished player was not great, barely adequate. Shipping package was fine. However, I was not buying a package, only a basic Blu Ray player that works. In the end VERY HAPPY with product so far! Have played several movies, and it produces an outstanding picture on my 50" set, quiet, and no skipping or pixelating at all. Cant beat this unit at this price point. No complaints!

The player is exactly what I expected. Replacing my similar model which needs repair on the laser alignment. But well worth the price to now have a backup unit. Ive always found "SONY" to be a very reliable product. Unfortunately Im a smoker, which causes the laser lens to need occasional cleaning, and I also use the player every day. Probably more than the average bear. Lol. Wonderful product otherwise! I highly recommend if your looking for an Inexpensive, Quality Blu-Ray Player!

Although I have not connected it to Wi-Fi yet, everything looked great! Menu screen, the player itself, and the upgrade to standard DVDs. Very sleak looking and fit perfectly on the shelf. Came with the remote. Just needed 2 AAA batteries and it worked out well. Would recommend for the price, despite it being refurbished!

Perfect condition and perfect for what I need. It plays DVDs and Blu-Rays perfectly. The sound and picture quality is excellent. If you are looking for something to watch Netflix/Hulu/Prime/etc. look elsewhere. It’ll work on this (with an Ethernet cable) but it’s silly to do that. If you want to stream but a Fire TV, Chromecast, or Roku for WAY cheaper. Or better yet, buy an Xbox or PS4. Don’t game? Doesn’t matter. If you’re spending 100+ anyway why not get something that has multiple functions. Bottom line, this product does what it’s supposed to do, and it does it well, for a relatively cheap price. If you’re going to pay more than $70 for a Blu-Ray you’re making a mistake. I would highly recommend for anyone out there who is looking for a traditional Blu-Ray/DVD machine. I got it for my mom and she loves it. Does everything.
