Experience immersive entertainment options with this Sony 4K Blu-ray player. Its Ultra HD resolution provides exceptionally detailed screen images with increased brightness and more realistic color, and its support of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X provides cinema-quality sound. This Sony 4K Blu-ray player supports high-resolution audio formats for more accurate music reproduction.

Build quality, picture and sound quality are excellent. Love that it's a universal player, in that it supports hi-res formats such as SACD and DVD-Audio, allowing me to replace two players with this one. Quieter and smoother disc operation than the Samsung 4K player.
The only problem I've encountered is that with the one 4K Blu-ray movie that is recorded in 4K/60p (Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk), the player will not send an HDR signal to the TV, so color is very desaturated. During the features and menus on the disc, which are in 24p, HDR signal works fine, but as soon as the movie starts and it switches to 60p, the player turns HDR off. The first firmware update was installed on 3/2/17 but did not fix the problem. Note that the disc plays perfectly, at 60p with HDR, on my Samsung player. I have a service ticket in with Sony and they claim they will research this issue; hopefully a fix will happen soon via a firmware update so that this and any 60p discs potentially released in the future will play properly.
Otherwise, it's a great player and handles all the other discs I've tried flawlessly.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Updated Info - Would now give unit 5 stars.

The firmware update actually did fix the problem. After a reset of the player, it is now passing 4K/60P signal with HDR. I can now highly recommend the unit without reservations. It's a great player!
