Our take on the Sony BDP-S1700U Region Free Blu-ray Player

The Sony BDP-S1700U is a compact, budget-minded Blu-ray player that has been modified to play discs from all regions and DVD zones. It handles Blu-ray, DVD and CD playback, upscales DVDs to near-1080p, and adds built-in apps for Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, YouTube and Pandora over HDMI. It suits shoppers with imported discs or a mixed-region collection who want a simple wired player. Against standard players it wins on region flexibility, but it lacks 4K output, Wi-Fi and streaming polish compared with pricier Sony and LG models.

Questions and answers

Does it really play discs from any region?
Yes. The player is modified to accept Blu-rays from regions A, B and C and DVDs from zones 1 through 6. The modification is done by the seller, not Sony.
Can I stream Netflix and Prime Video without a cable?
No. The BDP-S1700U has no built-in Wi-Fi, so streaming apps need a wired Ethernet connection.
Does it support 4K or HDR?
No. Output tops out at 1080p, so 4K TVs will upscale the signal themselves.
What is in the box?
The player, a remote control, batteries and a quick start guide. An HDMI cable is usually not included.
How does it compare with a standard Sony Blu-ray player?
A standard model is cheaper and officially supported but locked to one region. This one trades that for multi-region playback and the same basic streaming apps.
Will it play CDs and DVDs as well?
Yes. It plays audio CDs and DVDs, and upscales DVDs to near-1080p over HDMI.

At eBay, for $124.99, as of our latest check.
