SONY S1700 Multi System All Region CodeFree Blu Ray Disc DVD Player - PAL/NTSC - USB - 110-240V 50/60Hz - 6 feet HDMI Cable Included

Its a nice little unit so far with one exception. It will not play The Avengers Season Six Blu-ray. This is the only foreign Blu-ray I have tried so far. Domestic Batman original series Blu-ray works fine. Dvds played on it, will at times, at seemingly regular intervals, become silent for like two seconds. Oddly enough, reversing play to go back to those spots, will fix that sound, until the next interval comes up (it occurs maybe every five minutes). Update: I saw how AmazonCustomerJ17 advised somebody on foreign blu-rays not working. Their advice is correct, so I can now see Linda on this player. As far as I can remember, this unit did not come with the instructions to select other regions on Blu-ray, but seeing it here I at least have some now. So I adjust my rating, if that were possible, to 4.75, only I cannot give it a five with the occasional silence dvds go through.

The Seller reached out to me within 24 hours and I called their Tech support. After about 45 minutes on the phone they walked thru all the possible compatibility issues. We finally resolved the issue and it works with my TV and my original soundbar. I know have two extra soundbars but hey it works. Their tech support was patient and very helpful so I am upgrading my original rating. I purchased a multi-zone Blu ray/DVD Player to replace and older Multi-system DVD player that finally quit working. I Read the Reviews on Amazon for this product and it seemed to fit my requirements. SONY S1700 Multi System All Region CodeFree Blu Ray Disc DVD Player - PAL/NTSC - USB - 110-240V 50/60Hz - 6 feet HDMI Cable Included. On the Positive side it arrived in good condition and was seemly straightforward in its setup. I have a year old Samsung 65" Class NU7100 Smart 4K UHD TV with 3 HDMI outputs connected to a sound bar. The Cable box, the apple TV, work fine. The third HDMI connector to the Blu-ray did not connect. I first went to Samsung spent a hour on the phone with their tech support and found the issue was my old dvd not the TV. So I bought the Sony S1700 Multi-system Blu-ray player to take advantage of my TVs 4K UHD capabilities. I hooked everything up and the Player worked fine except for a very BIG issue. I would not connect to my sound bar. I tried optical splitters, digital audio to optical adapters, bought better gold tipped cables. And finally just bought a new sound bar specifically for the Sony Blu-ray/DVD player. It also did not work with the player. The Blue Ray player ONLY has a Coaxial out put to other sound devices. I repurposed the sound bar for an Epson Projector and there it worked fine with normal RCA cables. I purchased a third sound bar with a coaxial input. I hooked everything up and nothing happened. I got video but no sound. I took everything apart and reconnected the player to only the sound bar and played a CD. It worked beautifully. So I reconnected the player back to my AV system. CD’s play great, Home made DVDs played great. HOWEVER every Blu-ray and every Store bought DVD played Video but had a screeching clicking sound like an old movie projector but no sound. I tried over 30 DVDs of various age, regions, and types. I only found one that would work. I tried the 4 color buttons to change regions on the Players remote. All to no avail. I have hundreds of DVDs from the US and Europe and would like to be able to have better sound than what is available from the TV Speakers. I’m more than disappointed and more than a little frustrated with the audio options and performance of the player. I could not recommend it for anyone who wants to hear their Blu-ray, DVDs in anything other than their tiny TV speakers.

Delivered the next day! Small and neat and does the job. Plays DVDs from all regions with automatic region switching and uses color coded buttons on the remote to select BluRay region of choice when starting device up. It would have been good to have the auto region switch for BluRay as for DVD, but only a minor downside. One HDMI connection to a sound bar using an ARC HDMI connection to the TV and the TV automatically detects the BluRay player through the sound bar connection when switched on. A good option with Sony quality.
