Overview
Home theaters with a UHD TV and a surround receiver are where this player belongs, spinning UHD Blu-ray discs with HDR and passing object audio formats to the receiver. Smart Hub apps and Bluetooth music streaming add a streaming role beside disc playback.
Disc playback with HDR and bitstreamed Atmos is the reason to own it, since discs carry more detail than compressed streams. A single HDMI output means audio and video share one cable path, which some older receivers cannot handle.
Who it's for
Film fans building a disc library for a UHD TV and surround system will use every feature. Anyone streaming everything through the TV's own apps gains little from it.
Pros and cons
- HDR content detected automatically
- Atmos and DTS:X bitstream output
- Smart Hub streaming apps
- Bluetooth music streaming to speakers
- Single HDMI output only
- Disc region not listed
- HDR formats beyond HDR not named
Performance notes
Picture quality rides on the disc's native UHD and HDR mastering, and the player adjusts settings when it detects HDR content. Audio quality depends on the receiver, since Atmos and DTS:X leave the player as bitstream for decoding downstream. Streaming app quality is tied to your network speed.
