The Sony BDP-S1500 is a modified Blu-ray and DVD player that plays discs from any region. It supports Blu-ray regions A, B, and C and all DVD regions, and has a built-in PAL/NTSC converter so foreign discs play on any TV with HDMI. It also works on 110–240 volts for worldwide use. Compared with standard region-locked players, it offers unmatched disc compatibility, but it lacks streaming apps and Wi-Fi. Owners praise its reliability and simple setup.

The Sony BDP-S1500 is a Blu-ray and DVD player that has been modified to be region free. It plays Blu-ray discs from regions A, B and C, and DVDs from any region (0-8). Built-in PAL to NTSC conversion means no separate converter or special TV is needed for foreign discs. It connects to any TV with an HDMI input and outputs full 1080p HD.
The player runs on 110-240 volts, so it can be used in other countries without a voltage converter. Its firmware is upgradeable. It is not Wi-Fi equipped, so it connects to a home network through its ethernet port.
Online, it gives access to streaming apps from the Sony Entertainment Network, including Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and Pandora. It also offers PlayStation Now, which streams PS3 games with a DualShock 4 controller and needs no console. The player supports DLNA and DVD up-conversion for non-HD discs. A USB keyboard can be used with its web browser. Sony's Sideview app turns a smartphone or tablet on the same home network into a remote control.
