Overview
Sony builds this Ultra HD Blu-ray player, and this version is sold region free for every DVD region and Blu-ray zone on PAL or NTSC TVs. It connects to any TV with HDMI, streams over Wi-Fi and plays Blu-ray, DVD, CD and SA-CD discs.
Travelers, expats and collectors with imported discs get one player for every region alongside Ultra HD playback. Dolby Vision is only promised through a future firmware update, so HDR today means the HDR10 standard. The region-free unit is sold as a bundle with M-System listed as manufacturer.
Who it's for
Viewers who only buy local discs gain nothing from the region-free change.
Pros and cons
- Region-free DVD and Blu-ray playback
- Ultra HD output with HDR10
- Separate audio-only HDMI output
- Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support
- Dolby Vision only promised via future update
- Warranty length not listed
- Manufacturer listed as M-System, not Sony
Performance notes
Picture quality depends on the display it feeds: Ultra HD and HDR only show on a compatible TV, while older discs go through Sony's near-Ultra HD upscaling. The audio-only HDMI port lets a sound system without ARC receive the full surround signal while video goes straight to the TV. Streaming smoothness rests on the home network, helped by MIMO Wi-Fi.
