Our verdict

A plain disc player for someone who wants Blu-ray and DVD on a full HD TV without extra features. Network streaming is not part of its listing, so a TV without apps still needs a separate streaming device.

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

Pros
  • Plays Blu-ray and DVD discs
  • Low listed power consumption
  • FLAC and MP3 support for music files
  • Coaxial digital output for older receivers
Cons
  • 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.
