Overview

Sony gave this Blu-ray player both modern and legacy outputs, from HDMI to optical, coaxial and composite, so it hooks into older TVs and receivers. Built-in Wi-Fi runs Netflix, YouTube, Pandora and Hulu Plus, and a phone app works as a remote.

Wide output choice and SACD playback make it a flexible fit for mixed old and new gear. Picture tops out at Full HD and disc regions are fixed, so it is a North American player for HD sets.

Who it's for

Living rooms mixing an HD TV with an older stereo or receiver get the connections they need. Collectors of imported discs should look for a multi-region player.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Optical and coaxial digital outputs
  • Composite video for older TVs
  • Plays SACD and CDs
  • Phone app remote control
Cons
  • Full HD only
  • Region locked to A and 1
  • Single HDMI output

Performance notes

Picture is limited to Full HD output, with Blu-ray discs carrying the most detail. Digital audio can leave over HDMI, optical or coaxial, so the receiver's inputs decide which path gives the widest format support. Streaming over Wi-Fi depends on signal strength at the TV.
