Overview
Playing Ultra HD Blu-ray discs alongside DVDs, CDs and SA-CDs, the Sony universal player sends native Ultra HD video with HDR to a TV over HDMI. Built-in Wi-Fi handles streaming and can send music to different rooms.
Disc support is the reason to own it: Ultra HD Blu-ray, SA-CD, DVD-Audio and stereoscopic Blu-ray all play from one tray, and hi-res files such as DSD and FLAC play too. The listing names only HDMI for connections, so anyone relying on an optical or analog audio link should confirm before buying.
Who it's for
A living room with a disc collection spanning DVD, Blu-ray and SA-CD gets one player for all of it, plus streaming over Wi-Fi. Streaming-only households and owners of TVs without HDMI should look elsewhere.

Performance notes
Picture quality depends on the source disc and on how the TV handles HDR, since the player decodes HEVC video and passes it over HDMI. Audio results hinge on the receiver: object-based Dolby Atmos only renders on a receiver and speaker layout that decode it. Streaming quality rides on Wi-Fi signal strength at the TV location.
