All Region Free Blu Ray A B C and DVD Player, and 6 feet hdmi Cable (Bundle)

I took my time reviewing products on Amazon to replace our 12 year old Samsung Blu Ray player. I decided on this SONY product and just connected it to our home theater system and it works great. Delivery was fast but the box had a large sticky residue on it. I was concerned that it might have been a returned item. However, when I inspected the unit, it looked fine and all the components were wrapped. I tested Blu-Ray and DVD discs from our collection. They looked and sounded great. At first, I was a bit worried that it would not play CDs because in the Amazon description it says that it does but it is not stated on the box. Happily, I inserted a CD and played! It sounds beautiful. I need to purchase a new TV soon as our twelve-year old Samsung TV is having bleach spots. I'm definitely going to look at SONY televisions!

Arrived quick, box and packaging was a little damaged but packed well and no damage to the product. Set up was easy, lots of buttons on remote but not difficult. Plays my Wentworth discs no problem-changed the subtitles from Chinese to English-easy. A little pricy but glad I got it. A good purchase so far. I Would recommend.

Still working...8 months so far

Very slim, compact unit. Does everything it says it does. DVD playback is region-free (R0) meaning just insert any DVD from around the world and it plays automatically. Blu-Ray playback is multi-region meaning you need to manually set the region, but this is extremely simple to do, just the press of one button after powering on the unit. (My previous Seiki multi-region Blu-Ray Player required a 'secret code' to be entered to change zones, but thankfully not so with this Sony model - this is so much quicker to do.) Haven't noticed any problems with any DVD or Blu-Ray source as yet and I have a huge library of DVDs and Blu-Rays from around the globe. Great picture too. The unit seems solid enough for it's price range and, as it's a Sony, I'd expect it to last a while. If you want to connect it to the internet, you'll need to attach a cable, as this unit doesn't have Wi-Fi built-in (you'll have to upgrade to the next model up to get that). One last thing to note is that the only video output is HDMI, and the only sound output is also through HDMI or via co-ax. There are none of the 'ye olde fashioned standard A/V outputs' such as S-Video, component, composite or even plain old stereo jacks. So this will only work on displays and A/V receivers equipped with HDMI or co-ax. That's about the only down side I can see though and I'm sure there aren't that many customers who would care about that these days anyway. For the price, it's absolutely great.

I have not tried every format or every region , but CD works, US and UK region seems to work

I bought one of these in 2017 and it continues to work well. I THOUGHT it was all-region for both Blu-ray and DVD. It was, and it worked fine for DVDs, but SEEMED to play only Region A on Blu-ray. Most American purchases are region A or all-region discs, but not all. After discarding some discs coded for other regions, I finally bought this all-region player in 2025. It turns out to be the same model (DBP-S1700) I already have, but this time the packaging included a slip of paper saying that to change Blu-ray regions, one leaves the disc drawer open and hits one of the colored buttons on the remote (Yellow, Blue, or Red for zones A, B, or C, respectively). The region cannot be changed when the drawer is closed. The zone changing works fine, but it is not obvious without the instruction. (Since this works with my old machine as well, I will, with some embarrassment, return this one.

This works as a region free player, I have been able to play all of the BluRays that I own on it. It comes with a small instruction on how to properly set it up and how to change regions. I recommend keeping this paper with the machine. I did not connect mine to the internet since this player has something on it which unlocks the region-free capabilities and a software update may remove this capability from the machine. This means if you want to use this to stream videos, etc. you may want to look at something else. Of course it has the same build quality as the standard Sony BluRay player and will be prone to the same weaknesses as a regular player. I think the people who have had this machine stop working either did not set the player up according to the included instruction or updated the firmware which may remove the region free capability. As long as you know what this machine is and how to use it, I think it should last for several years.

Caviat emptor. I'd bought the Sony All Region Free Blu Ray A B C and DVD Player, and 6 feet hdmi Cable (Bundle), in February of this year as a backup for my then-current all region LG bluray player. (I have a very large all region personal bluray library.) The LG bluray player had given up the ghost in early August, after 2 & 1/2 yrs of very heavy usage. I unboxed the Sony All Region Free Blu Ray A B C and DVD Player, and 6 feet hdmi Cable (Bundle), & set it up, & put on Region A Criterion bluray. It played okay for 20 minutes or so, but then started to strobe & flash a black screen. & then it stopped recognising any image altogether. I tried using the extra hdml cable i have but it did no good. i tried Region B, & Region C blurays. But nothing. Bupkis. I've turned it off, turned off the flatscreen, unplugged the Sony All Region Free Blu Ray A B C and DVD Player, and 6 feet hdmi Cable (Bundle) & turned the flatscreen back on & tried to play something, anything (blurays, dvds any region), but nothing. & I'm shocked & appalled at how quickly it it died. I am self employed & have been very busy with various deadlines, so trying to contact Sony has been a real headache. On top of which, in trying to right this I find that I cannot return it, since I had bought it in February of this year. So much for warranties. So much for being a reliable & honourable manufacturer.
