Setup is easy enough (default or auto works for most things), comes with detailed printed manual-- Get two free UHD Blu-rays until June 30, 2017-- One-year repair-or-replace warrantyLimitations

Not really a quick, easy setup and after 3 hrs of messing with

and I was really listening for them through my 10 grand 7.2.4 ATMOS/DTS X setup and a dozen or so ATMOS recorded movies

Setup was easy and it hooked up and played on my older (2016

Reviews around sound (4.72 of 5)
-
And now I will NEVER use it, because the return window and customer service support is "closed" and the player will no longer recognize most commercially purchased blu rays at all ("this disc cannot be played") and the few blu rays it does recognize cause the screen to flash snow and a static sound, rendering it useless.
-
Being a long time and loyal Sony customer, this chain of event(s) which includes Sony Bravia OLED interaction did not go over too well.
-
My current Bluray player produces a great picture and sound running through the receiver with ease of operation..
-
Excellent picture and sound, lots of apps and easy to use
-
The sounds are equally good delivering the latest sound spectrum such as Atmos from the newest Hifi system's

Picture quality is great but it freezes all the time

Sony didn't miss much building this great 4K Ultra HD Blueray DVD Player at a very fair price, you can't go wrong.
-
This is a high quality 4K Blu-ray player at a reasonable price
-
When you go to the theater it's a nice big screen but at home with this player you can experience an even better picture quality and for a lot cheaper price
-
If you are looking for a fully featured DVD player at a reasonable price, this is a great choice.

Easy set great player and it’s a Sony at a great price

Reviews around build (4.35 of 5)
-
The blu ray player itself is very well built and does what its supposed to do.
-
Sony states that the hefty build is designed to prevent vibrations that could cause playback issues.
-
I also loved the fact that the player was so well built and the fact that it played SACDs (an innovation that Sony developed and championed.)
-
Extremely quick concerning the built-in apps such as VUDU or Netflix
-
As any other Sony product I’ve ever owned, this is really well built and solid – they actually advertise the solid chassis as a major selling point

Reviews around feature (4.27 of 5)
-
Unfortunately it doesn't have a back light for dark room use, but at this price point, such a feature is unlikely anyway
-
That doesn't mean it's the best player available, as the more expensive ones have some other nice features
-
You don’t need a smart T.V. with this blue- ray player because it has all the smart features for you
-
The picture quality is outstanding, as is the audio, and it has enough features for my needs
-
This is a fantastic new feature that I have not seen on a Blu-ray player before

Reviews around ray (4.20 of 5)

In addition to the best 4K blu-ray player you get an audiophile grade hi-res media player that plays SACD discs, 24-bit FLACs and DSDs up to 11.2MHz
-
No one knows how this HDR "format war" will end up, but do you want to buy an expensive blu-ray player that might not support the best HDR option on some discs
-
Anyway, it's a nice Blu-Ray player and it works well--so far.
-
Overall, Sony has produced an excellent 4K blu-ray player that lived up to this reviewer's expectations while keeping it cost effective, as well.
-
Ok I purchased this more expensive blu-ray thinking I would have better quality stuff

Reviews around tv (4.04 of 5)
-
This is only an issue if you're not using a SOny 4K tv with your player.
-
but I think the video quality of Netflix movies is better being played from this than the App on my Smart TV.
-
I would tend to think Bluetooth shouldn't really be all the big of a deal for many, as our receivers or soundbars or even TV's can generally fix that issue
-
This new 4K Blu-ray player generates sharper images from my old Blu-ray movies, and finally allows me to use my Sony noise cancelling headphones to listen to my Sony XBR Smart TV
-
If you run even a 25' cable from the HDMI out of the X800 into your UHDTV, it should not surprise you if, when you turn on the X800, that you will get a screen with an error message that essentially means the TV "knows" it is supposed to be receiving an true UHD signal, but that the signal has been so degraded, the TV is unable to "see" a UHD signal.

Reviews around playback issue (4.04 of 5)
-
The USB drive did not fix the resume playback issue with Blu-rays.
-
It performs pretty well, and I use it for DVDs, Blu-Ray, Ultra 4K discs, as well as for Netflix, Amazon, and other apps.
-
For those of you who are unaware, the resume playback issue appears to be dependent on the disks.
-
Sony states that the hefty build is designed to prevent vibrations that could cause playback issues.
-
The information gathered from the worksheet are rich and invaluably informative for my clients as well as for myself in some of the following ways: -- Understanding clients' narrative; -- Tracking client, therapist, and client-therapist dynamics and state shifts during our meetings; and

Reviews around lack (3.79 of 5)

Great HD Player, however, Sony scammed me on the two free 4K HD DVD's that were suppose to be part of the purchase !
-
It performs pretty well, and I use it for DVDs, Blu-Ray, Ultra 4K discs, as well as for Netflix, Amazon, and other apps.
-
The lack of a front-panel display, as noted by other reviewers, just seems cheap and annoying.
-
But lack of pre-installed Youtube, a little disappointed!

’s issues are the lack of proper 4K hdmi cable search on amazon “vczhs tech” and purchase their 4K cable

Enjoying the unit, very easy to set up and excellent wifi streaming so far.

Very limited to what this unit is capable of, at this price

So far I would have to say this is a great unit, and appears to be well worth the money.

Sony replaced the player, we had to send in the defective unit before they would replace

First time we've had a problem with a Sony product but this one just died less than six months after we got it.

It's worth the time, and it makes a huge difference in video and sound quality

the third time is a charm/this one as been great no problems atlwas worth
-
It freezes every time I rewind the DVDs, and sometimes on Bluray Discs

This particular model freezes up for no reason ALL the time!

After doing a bit of research and pulling my head out of my behind,i actually got it hooked up properly,I let the funky hook up mess w/me a bit to where integration was a major brain fart on my end,I hooked it up w/HDMI as video input,and a bitstream/coax cable for sound,this allows for more sound to be opened up above an HDMI,,you get PCM as well going this route,which does make a noticable difference in sound

With the Ghost Busters dvd it was a bit odd to see the movie quality being closer to a home video than to the filtered artificial prettiness of movies that we were used to
