Picture quality that brings your movies to life

This extensive compatibility transforms the player into a true multimedia hub for your living room. You can easily connect an external hard drive or USB stick to access your personal collections of movies, music, or photos directly on your TV.

A user interface designed for comfort

Sony has focused on user-friendliness with the BDP-S1700K. The user interface, based on Sony’s Xross Media Bar (XMB) system, is both intuitive and fast. Navigating between different functions and content is smooth, with clearly organized panels separating the offered applications from your favorites.

This ease of use is also reflected in the “Easy Setup” function, which guides users step by step during the initial installation. The integrated parental control feature allows families to easily manage content access, ensuring a worry-free experience for all household members.

Connectivity and streaming: your gateway to online entertainment

Although the BDP-S1700K does not have built-in Wi-Fi, its Ethernet connection opens the door to online entertainment. Once connected to the Internet, the player allows you to access a variety of streaming services, including YouTube. This feature turns your TV into a true connected entertainment platform.

The stability of the wired connection is particularly appreciated for streaming high-definition content, ensuring smooth playback without the interruptions sometimes associated with Wi-Fi connections.

Audio quality to match the visuals

The BDP-S1700K does not overlook the sound aspect of your cinematic experience. Compatible with high-resolution audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, it faithfully reproduces the soundtracks of your Blu-ray movies.

The HDMI 1.4 output allows these high-quality audio signals to be transmitted to your home theater system, while the coaxial audio output offers an alternative for older audio setups. This versatility ensures you can enjoy immersive sound, whether your setup is modern or older.
