I bought this after returning another brand with 4K Ultra that cost 3 x as much and was full of bugs. It did not update firmware, the streaming apps did not work right, and the normal DVDs displayed in Pillar Box Format (Black Vertical Bars on the side), and there was no way to avoid this.
This BDP-S1700 was plug and play. It worked out of the box with no setup other than the quick setup. It plays Blu-Rays as well as DVDs (480P), with no pillar bars. It also upscales normal DVDs to 1080P.
Picture quality is excellent, sound quality through a Denon Home Theater amp is excellent.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied and impressed.,.
The price performance ratio is outstanding. The only caveat is I just bought it and will it last?
This is the third blue Ray model BDP S1700 that has failed on me. First one failed within one year. Second within one month. Now under warranty I’m on the third. Don’t buy this model!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Call me old fashion but i do have alot of dvds. I have alot of chris halloween and kids movies. So we like to have family night where sometimes we watch moves or play games.
So far this is the best disc player I've ever used by far. So far it hasn't skipped of jammed up like the last one and delivers a good picture. It is easy to use and easily set up. I recommend it without reservations.
