Overview
Not a basic DVD deck, Sony's player reads ultra HD Blu-ray discs with Dolby Vision and HDR and supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound. Wi-Fi and Ethernet join it to a home network, and an anti-vibration build steadies picture and sound.
Buy it for disc playback that covers Dolby Vision, HDR, Atmos and DTS:X, plus high-resolution music files, from a low chassis. App support is not spelled out anywhere in the listing, so someone hoping to retire a streaming stick should confirm that first.
Who it's for
Movie collectors with a surround system and an HDR television get both video formats and immersive audio from their discs. A household that mostly streams and owns few discs gains little here.
Pros and cons
- Dolby Vision and HDR10 support
- Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible
- Plays FLAC, WAV and AIFF files
- Two HDMI ports
- Streaming apps not listed
- Coaxial is the only listed non-HDMI jack
- Short one year warranty
Performance notes
Picture results depend on the TV accepting Dolby Vision or HDR; when it does not, the player converts HDR to SDR. Upscaling lifts lower resolution discs toward ultra HD, and the anti-vibration construction reduces vibration that can disturb picture and sound.
