This Sony BDPS7200 Blu-ray player features UHD 4K upscaling. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

Good blu-ray player loaded with features

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have the newer version of this blu-ray player (BDP-S6500) but have had overheating problems with it and decided to try the older unit. It works as well as the newer model and does not overheat.

Google Chromecast Audio: Stream your favorite music with Google Chromecast Audio. Simply plug into your speaker's auxiliary input and connect to your Wi-Fi network. Then just tap the Cast button from your favorite apps on your phone, tablet or computer to cast songs, radio stations and podcasts to your speaker.
 

What kinds of speakers is everyone using with this? Most normal bookshelf style speakers I see don't have any of the 3 required connections for the chromecast audio.

Any speaker with an Audio in/Aux-in port or RCA red + white audio in ports will work with Chromecast Audio. It comes with the correct cable for the Audio in/Aux in port and you can order the correct cable from the Google Store or any audio cable supplier (Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, etc) for the RCA red + white ports.

Will it work with Sonos speakers?

Not directly to Sonos speakers. There is no Audio/Aux-in on any Sonos speakers I've seen. It may be possible if you have a Sonos bridge in your setup.

Replace any standard duplex outlet with this USB wall outlet. This tamper-resistant device prevents shocks by connecting to electricity only when a standard plug is inserted. The two USB charging ports make it easy to charge phones, cameras and other devices. A white decora-style wall plate is included with this USB wall outlet for simple installation.
 

Just Installed this outlet and when I use the USB to charge my phone the outlet makes a "buzzing" noise. Is that normal? Thanks

No, it doesn't sound normal. I would return it and try again.

Can google home be linked up with sonos systems? Does this connect through wifi?

The Google Home unit is not supported by Sonos equipment natively. If you have a Sonos base unit with RCA inputs on the back you should be able to use a Chromecast Audio unit with an RCA splitter wire to plug into the base unit. I haven't tried this yet but theoretically you should then be able to then use Google Homevoice command to play music over your Sonos system.

Do you have to have all smart bulbs in the house for google home to turn on all the lights

Yes, there are a limited number of light bulbs that work with Google Home at this time. You can turn on/off any device that is plugged into a Google Home supported electrical outlet by voice command.

Can it be programmed to understand/respond in a different language other then English?

Not certain but it does translate anything you want to say to other languages. I would be surprised if the answer to your question is no.

I just want to be able to listen / request music from radio stations I usually listen to (i.e., WBLS, HOT97,etc.). Then I can learn ways to utilize other listening options, but first, I need music while I cook, clean, watch t.v., and more!

Say " OK Google play Amy Winehouse on Pandora" and you're Google Home unit will play that genre of music. If you subscribe to Pandora One, there will no longer be the occasional commerecial that pops up. You can setup numerous music types (stations) on the Pandora web site depending on your music preferences. The Google Home doesn"t support many radio music stations at the time but I'm sure that will expand in the future.
