4.0 out of 5 stars Only a few apps to stream

2026-01-18    -David Wall

This is my 2nd one of these, I’ve only used it as a disc player before because it’s hooked up to a fire tv but I got this one for my projector. Although the product description say 100s of apps you can only use Netflix, prime, YouTube and a few apps I’ve never heard of so that is a lie. Still as a disc player it works great just dissatisfied I can only stream prime and Netflix.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Multi Region Player

It took a few minutes to set up. The biggest problem was having the machine communicate with our Wi-Fi, but we finally figured it out. We tried several blue ray disks from different regions and they all work. Thus far we are very pleased with this purchase. The player is reasonably priced. It may take us a little while to figure out all of the features since this is the first day of its use. It is a smaller machine, so it doesn't take up too much room. The audio is clear from the disks that we have tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your final solution for free region Blu Ray and DVD!

Worked perfectly from the moment it was installed (I've waited a while before witting this review. DVDs do not need any settings to play other regions. Blu Ray has three options for the different regions and very easy to set (one button for each option). I've tested with UK and Japanese only Blu Rays and no problem at all. IT is a SONY, so picture quality is not an issue. It is not the most recent SONY model, but I was okay with that. It is not cheap, but one pays for the freedom of buying any region Blu Ray/DVD and watch. Highly recommended.

Thank you Sony for a great product. This BluRay (DVD) player does away with the "Region" restriction nonsense -- that business the movie industry created which insures people will inevitably be sold a movie on a DVD or BluRay that is simply designed not to work, depending on where you happen to live. In short, Location Discrimination. This unit, on the other hand, will insure that ANY disc you buy will actually PLAY on it!This player works very nicely like most other disc players with the technical quality you'd expect from a Sony product, but with the distinct advantage that it circumvents the attempt to box consumers into the industry's blatant Location Discrimination. What is this "Location Discrimintation" you ask? Simple: I buy a movie on a disc that the studio is perfectly willing to sell to me and to take my money (KNOWING where I live, btw), and then that studio says, "sorry, you can't watch it because, well, we just don't like where you live...you're in an area that we say doesn't deserve to see the movie we just sold to you, sucker -- you live in the US. And btw, your friend who lives in England, HE can see it! We like him way better than you." How is that not inequality? Anyway, kudos for Sony for not putting that "inequality" chip in this player. Problem solved; this player won't let the studio who sold you that disc discriminate by where you live.

My old unit for zone B 3D discs was failing. Didn’t know if I’d find any units still available to replace it. Did research online and decided to go for this one even though $200 was a significant outlay. Glad I did! This one did great, worked fine right out of the box for zone B dvd, zone B blu ray, and zone B 3D blu ray. Switching region is very easy (see attached sheet) from the remote. Gives an excellent picture, particularly for 3D. Very satisfied!

5.0 out of 5 stars REGION FREE BLU-RAY PLAYER ROCKS!!!

So far this has been an awesome Blu-ray player! I bought this Blu-ray player because it supports 3D blu-rays and I believe they will eventually come back into style and popularity. Also, region free rocks!
