Sony X800 - UHD - 2D/3D - SACD - Wi-Fi - Dual HDMI - 2K/4K - Region Free Blu Ray Disc DVD Player - PAL/NTSC - USB - 100-240V 50/60Hz for World-Wide Use & 6 Feet Multi System 4K HDMI Cable

I think the people who had trouble with this machine forgot to read the instructions, including the inserted sheet that covers the hardware upgrade to achieve region-free capability. The first thing I did after testing that I could playa simple Blu-Ray after setting up for my monitor and wi-fi was to upgrade the firmware. Then, one after another I inserted all the 4K discs I own, to be sure they played properly - They did - followed by a variety of Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray 3D, and DVD discs. All played fine - No problems. Then I tried some Region B Blu-Ray discs: I turned off the machine, pushed the blue button until it restarted, and waited for it to load. The Region B disc played properly, too. This is a great player!

Works as advertised; multi region, dvd and BD, easy to install and simple remote for operation.

I bought this specific unit so I could play the discs I've collected while living on several different continents. It does that VERY well; it handles different region DVDs automatically; Blu-ray is easily done manually from the remote before playing the disc. And there's NO problem updating the software; the firmware region-free mods stay good. The picture quality is great (even with 3D), and sound is wonderful. This rig has a solid metal frame, and the build quality is good; what you would expect with more expensive machines. Tho' the case IS plastic, when you pick this up, you know it's NOT a 'cheap' unit. It's what I've come to expect from Sony. I forget the correct term, but the size of this item is made for an A/V rack, so it's NOT small. The setup is easy and quick, the WiFi works well (2.5 & 5Ghz), and tho' small and UNlit, the remote is full featured. (FYI - This unit has NO display on the front - you have to start playing a disc and then use the "DISPLAY" command on the remote to see that info on your TV screen.) And, if you have a Sony TV, when you turn the player on, it will turn your TV on as well! This player starts up fairly quickly (even faster if you use the "Quick Start-up" setting), but shutting it off seems to take a little longer than I'm used to, but NOT so long as to be a bother. FWIW, I do NOT use this product for streaming, as I have a 4k Android TV, so I can't comment about that. I took 1 star off because this rig does NOT have Dolby Vision, and GraceNote access ended first quarter of 2019. (Sometimes Sony's nickel-and-diming (greed?) just gets ridiculous.) BEFORE you buy this, I suggest you check out the specs, as, for example, this will NOT work that well with older A/V systems you may already have. I wanted to put the link here to the page on Sony's website, but Amazon won't let me! Also, check the comments on the Q&A for this item...some of the answers are wrong. Enjoy!!

Really wanted this item, reviews say it has the best audio processing quality but don’t buy it if you want it for the audio out. It has no L or R audio outputs. It has only coax and HDMI outs.

I would love to give this product five stars, as most five stars here tout the picture and sound and easy plug and play. That's the end of it. Mine did NOT come with a manual or instructions on where one might be..googling was the answer to find Sony's manual extremely limited and overly simplistic leaving out a lot of things you CAN'T do that you expect you can. Mine came with Netflix, Prime and YouTube installed. I had to go online to find out only internet programs "pre-installed" are on whichever machine I own. As TV's get more advanced, being able to play online subscriptions like Hulu, Vudu, Funimation, etc. through this device brings the sound up to date to include streaming in Dolby ATMOS. My tv is old but is a 4K and thus Dolby Vision and HDR content plays very well; however, the new sound standards are not on my TV. Using my X800 I get my compatible DVDs and the three existing subscriptions in the best sound to include Dolby ATMOS. I'm not dead in the water as I have a 4K apple TV which I can plug through my Vizio Dolby ATMOS sound system, yet the X800 decodes better sound yet does not allow other subscriptions than the couple you get with it. A very weak-weakness. The actual quality of the visuals and sound the X800 does produce is very high, just don't expect support on manuals, internet program compatibility, and pre-purchase information. (PS: it does do WiFi connectivity up to 5G, even though WiFi is not mentioned anywhere.)

We love the fact that we can watch all of the DVD movies I bought when I used to live in China, plus our US purchased DVDs and Blu-ray. Easy to setup. The only thing I do not like is that it does not have fiberoptic output. I have never been a fan of Coaxial RCA like output.

Soon after I was unable to return dvd player it started dropping the video picture preformed the trouble shooting twice still no constant picture.

Sony does it again......and it works as advertised......! Excellent for movies and music too.......Excellent seller.....arrived early, right out of the box it performed flawlessly...! I would recommend this company (vendor) and Sony to everyone.....!
