Sony BDPS3700 Streaming Blu-Ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black)

Apparently I didnt read all of the description, and I didnt realize that I had to purchase the high speed hdmi cord separately. I didnt compare prices anywhere because I was in a hurry to get it set up. I ended up going to a local Dollar General store and bought one for $14. I later found out that they are sold on here for about $6. The instructions made me think that I needed the hdmi cord and a coaxial cable, but I didnt. The hdmi cord worked without the other one. With that being said, I am still very pleased with my purchase. There are plenty of apps to choose from. You can pick which ones you want listed under "My Apps" on the "Home" or main screen. Its very easy to setup and use. The remote is small. It fits in my hand. It does come with batteries. Its simple to use. It connected to my wifi with ease. There is a feature called "Screen Mirroring," which sounds awesome, but I was unable to get it to work. It could possibly be because I tried it with an iPhone but Im not completely sure. Basically, youre able to look at pictures from your phone on your tv, and it doesnt require any cords. Read all of the features and go ahead and order the hdmi cord (if you dont have one). Scroll down under the product. It should show up under the section where it says suggested purchase or other people also bought. This is my first day with it, so if anything changes, Ill update my review.

Sony BDPS3700 Streaming Blu-Ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (2016 Model) I bought this player in December of 2016. It is now July 2017. I still love this Blu-Ray Player and use it often. Im still glad I bought 2 of them. Ive been using this DVD player for a couple of weeks most every day. This weekend I watched the Sopranos on Blu-Ray disc after disc and the player performed without a hitch. Also, the Child Lock problem seems to be fixed on my unit. Ive done 3 updates to the player since I hooked it up. Being a Blu-Ray player means it is very important for it to be connected to the internet and to always keep it updated. It needs up to date Blu-Ray information to play the latest discs. The reason I took one star off the rating is because of the size of the remote. I have a hard time with the very small buttons. I have only had it for a couple of weeks but I dont think I will get any better at pushing the right buttons. I watch it in a dimly lit room and either need to turn a light on or use a flashlight to see the buttons. Also some of the buttons I use a lot are down toward the bottom of the remote which causes me to need to hold the remote with one hand and push the button with the other. I like some things being small but a remote isnt one of them. The player itself is very small. I dont mind that. It is the most minimalist unit Ive ever owned. There is an on/off button, eject and the DVD drawer and a USB connection. It has a small light on the front when it is on. Not distracting at all. The unit slides right under my Vizio TV which was very nice. The player reacts very fast to the commands from the remote. It also starts up very quickly if you turn on that option which I did. My other Toshiba DVD player is very slow at doing everything, although it has lasted for a long time and never has any problems. It is not Blu-Ray though. I bought two of these Sony players. One is in the same room as my wi-fi and the other is about 100 feet away in another room. Both of them connected to wi-fi without any problem. And they stay connected. There was a power outage Christmas morning and when the power came back I didnt need to do anything to reconnect them. I was impressed. Two of us can watch streaming content at the same time with our 50mb download speed. No buffering required. The home page that appears when you start the DVD player is simple and easy to navigate. My 88 year old mother doesnt seem to have any problems with it. Though she did complain about the small remote also. You can populate one side of the screen with your favorite streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu + or Amazon etc. You can also get YouTube which I like. There are music apps and a lot of others. Down at the bottom of the home page is where you can choose DVD plus two other options like USB input. I have not used the USB input. I know there are a lot of other things I could tell everyone about but these were the major things Ive noticed since I started using this player. I dont want to write a book but I hope this helps someone make a decision as to whether to buy it or not. So far I am very happy with it and would recommend it to my friends.
