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!

Excelente DVD puedes ver cualquier región, altamente recomendable.

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!!

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.....!

The biggest problem I've found with the current crop of Blu-ray players is that getting a backlit remote requires spending a LOT more money. And that the people who design the remotes aren't very good. They tend to go for arranging the buttons to make the remote as small as possible which isn't all that helpful if you don't have tiny fingers. And trying to remember which button is which is a pain because every manufacturer uses different layouts, and sometimes for different models from the same manufacturer. I bought this to replace one that had a nearly useless remote which I had bought to replace an Oppo unit that had simply died. I'm really hoping that my other Oppo hangs in there for a long time!

So far I am more than satisfied with this dvd player. The Samsung it replaced would not play the new BR dvds although it played the old ones. The player is easy to use and has a much sharper image with great sound.

I was sent the X800M2 after ordering the x800 but then found that the player would not play either the UHD version of Blade Runner freezing at the pint of the first interview or the Wizard of OZ where it froze when the wicked witch is sky writing. District 9 did play through. Now at first I thought the discs were bad but then tried to play them on an older LG UHD player and it had no problem. Isn't the FIRST JOB of a player to be able to play the discs. Perhaps it is only THIS unit but there is at least a quality control issue at Sony. I am, of course, going to return this.

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.
