Sony BDP-S3700 Smart Blu-Ray and DVD Player with Wi-Fi and Built-In Apps - Black

Very good machine… very happy!!

Mein erster Eindruck für ein gebrauchtes Gerät: Es sieht alles gut aus. Keine Kratzer oder andere Mängel, lässt sich noch immer über WLAN verbinden und ich hatte vorher das Vorgängermodell, also gewohnte Bedienung und Einstellmöglichkeiten. Schade ist jedoch, dass Sony den Service bezüglich meines PS-Kontos auf dem Gerät eingestellt hat. Sonst könnte ich meine gekauften Serien vom Sony-PSN-Store auch über das Gerät gucken und müsste nicht die PS5 einschalten, die mehr als das 10-Fache an Stromverbrauch hat.

Good basic little bluray player. Some literature had claimed this model was multi-zoned and was purchased under this assumption (which it is not)

I purchased this to replace an aged Samsung bluray player. It was easy to set up and works well with both dvd and bluray discs. I have not bothered setting up WiFi as I have all the apps I need on the TV. I'm still stunned at how small it is and the quality of movie play back. I'm so impressed I'm ordering another one for my craft room

Bought first one in December 2017 for £74, second in February 2020 for £79 - excluding delivery charges - both directly from Amazon; they packed both carefully in outer boxes so arrived intact.ADDENDUM, dropping 1 star.First player ran for only 12 days after cleaning disc used.Then wouldn't even recognise the cleaning disc.Second player seems fine, hope to get longer from it.First player stopped recognising discs at all after 26 months, I feared the worst.I rechecked ratings for budget players, two years on: this one still rated highly so I bought another.I also bought an:Allsop CleanDR Laser Lens Cleaner for Blu-Ray/XBOX 2017/18Condition: NewSold by: Fulfillment ExpressFulfilled by Amazon£17.48, ex delivery charges.The rule is DON'T USE DVD CLEANERS IN A BLURAY, but I figured I would try to 'resurrect' my first player - one cleaning cycle and almost like new; occasionally have to open/close drawer when it says 'no disc', but it's working again!Weird thing, has zero clearance brushes and it works!Also I had to reset to PCM to get sound; I factory reset when it was playing up.So, spare player now in case it happens again.NOW MY ONLY PLAYER.I don't have broadband so cannot comment on the 'Smart' features.As far as I can tell, you shouldn't expect much for less than £100; digital audio out is coaxial not optical; not universally available on soundbars.Significant irritations are:- the Lilliputian remote; so many times I have pressed the Netflix button instead of fast forward, or favourite instead of rewind;but not too power hungry, I use nimh aaas: they need charging every 4-6 weeks;- no zoom to read inserts properly;- maybe because I cannot do a firmware update, it does not always remember where I was on Blu-ray discs, but DVDs seem fine.NB the 2020 player has a later Software version so hopefully fixed.RE Software Update.I have tried downloading onto a USB stick at the library, but the player didn't recognise it, so factory software only.I followed the instructions to the letter: no good.Initially I found the extra flap at the front irritating.However, it does a good job keeping the disc drawer clean.I also use a THIN microfibre cloth as a general dust cover, does not overheat the unit - external PSU and no vents.A good starter unit for HDTV or 1080HD.Reliable if not feature laden.Not the cheapest, but worth the extra I think.
