Sony BDP-S6700: 4K UHD Upscaling Blu-Ray Player, Multiroom, 3D, Wi-Fi

The Sony BDP-S6700 is a compact and attractive Blu-ray player that offers a high-quality viewing experience. Capable of playing 2D and 3D Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs, it also supports a wide range of audio and video file formats, including MKV, AVCHD, WMV, DSD, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, and MP3. With its wired and dual-band Wi-Fi network connectivity, it allows easy access to your multimedia content stored on DLNA-compatible devices.

Stunning Picture Quality with 4K Upscaling

One of the standout features of the BDP-S6700 is its 4K upscaling capability. Equipped with an advanced video processor, it converts standard videos to a signal close to 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), providing impressive clarity and detail on compatible TVs. Super Bit Mapping and IP Content Noise Reduction Pro technologies help reduce noise and smooth gradients for a sharper and more natural image.

Vibrant Colors and Deep Blacks

The BDP-S6700 excels in color reproduction thanks to Sony’s Triluminos Color technology. This expands the color palette to offer richer and more authentic shades, as well as increased depth. Dark scenes also benefit from quality processing, with excellent detail in shadows and precise distinction between light and dark elements.

An Immersive Audio Experience

On the audio side, the player supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio formats, ensuring high-fidelity Surround sound when connected to a compatible AV receiver. It also includes a digital music enhancer that restores details and regulates volume for a richer and more enveloping sound. Bluetooth connectivity further allows you to stream sound to wireless speakers or headphones.

Simplified Access to Streaming Services

The BDP-S6700 offers direct access to many popular streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, and Spotify. Its intuitive user interface, organized in tiles, makes it easy to navigate menus and search for content. The dual-core processor ensures optimal responsiveness and fast loading of applications.

Easy Integration into a Multiroom System

Thanks to Sony’s SongPal app, available on Android and iOS, the BDP-S6700 can be integrated into a multiroom audio system. You can stream music from your CDs or USB drives to other compatible Sony products, like speakers or soundbars, in different rooms of your home.

Advanced Features for a Personalized Experience

The player offers several modes and settings to tailor the picture to your preferences. The Cinema mode automatically detects the type of content (movie or video) and applies the appropriate conversion. The Bonus View function provides picture-in-picture features for compatible Blu-ray discs. You can also convert 2D videos to 3D for a more immersive experience.

Is the Sony BDP-S6700 compatible with all disc formats?

Yes, the BDP-S6700 can play 2D and 3D Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs. It also supports the following Blu-ray formats: BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE, BD-R DL, and BD-RE DL.

Can I play video and audio files stored on a USB drive?

Absolutely. The player has a front USB port that allows you to play media files stored on a USB drive or external hard drive. It is compatible with many formats, including MKV, AVCHD, WMV, DSD, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, and MP3.

Can the BDP-S6700 connect to my home network?

Yes, the player is equipped with an Ethernet connection and a dual-band Wi-Fi module to connect to your network. This allows you to access your shared media files on DLNA-compatible devices and enjoy online streaming services.

What are the audio connectivity options of the player?

The BDP-S6700 has an HDMI output to transmit sound to your TV or AV receiver. It is also equipped with a coaxial digital audio output for connection to an external audio system. Additionally, its Bluetooth connectivity allows you to wirelessly stream sound to compatible speakers or headphones.

Can I control the player with my smartphone or tablet?

Yes, you can download the Sony Video & TV SideView app on your Android or iOS device to control the basic functions of the player. The SongPal app allows you to integrate the BDP-S6700 into a multi-room audio system with other compatible Sony products.

Is the image quality of the BDP-S6700 on par with a true Ultra HD Blu-ray player?

While the 4K upscaling of the BDP-S6700 offers excellent image quality, it should not be expected to match that of a native Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The latter provides more details, a better color palette, and superior contrast thanks to 4K discs and HDR support.
