Overview
A movie collector with a shelf of Blu-ray and DVD discs gets a straightforward Sony player that sends full HD video to a TV over HDMI. Sound goes out over HDMI or a coaxial digital link, and a USB port plays stored music and video files.
Simple disc playback with a low power draw makes it a sensible spare player for a bedroom or second TV. Its listing shows no Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and its region marking limits it to US discs.
Who it's for
Collectors who mostly watch their own discs on a full HD screen get a simple player with digital audio outputs. Travelers with discs from other regions and viewers who want streaming built in should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Plays Blu-ray and DVD discs
- Low listed power consumption
- FLAC and MP3 support for music files
- Coaxial digital output for older receivers
- USA region only per listing
- Wi-Fi and streaming apps not listed
- Output tops out at full HD
- Single HDMI port
Performance notes
Picture detail follows the disc and the full HD output, so a larger screen shows the source as it is, with no processing claimed in the listing. Surround formats reach a receiver over HDMI or the coaxial link, which matters in a home theater. File playback from USB depends on the file using one of the listed formats.
