Sony BDP-S6700 4K Upscaling 3D Streaming Home Theater Blu-Ray Disc Player
Given that this is a sony, it’s fast with great video and audio quality for blurays and dvds, so i’ll leave that to other reviews. Here i’ll cover the extra features important in my house. One simple device for everyone in the house to learn and not have to flip between devices and learn different controls is a helpful beginning. The interface is simple and easily customized with the streaming services and nas connection i want to see. It’s a little annoying that the left hand 1/3 of the screen has sony’s ‘featured apps’ and they can’t be removed, but i’ll live with that. Playing a variety of file types from my nas (or pc at your house) is important to me. My silicondust hdhomerun dvr is recording over the air tv shows (original format mpeg-ts to. Mpg for full original quality), the kids videos are pass through of a variety of original formats to. All these formats are common, but rarely all supported on the same device.
Short version: i use this unit primarily for streaming but i also wanted blu-ray/dvd/cd capability in a single unit. While my wireless signal is strong, i prefer wired connections for added stability – another feature of this player. Performance is very good all around and i recommend the unit as a great value for the money. Details and minor flaws noted below:compatibility: first and foremost understand this is not a 4k player. It uses ‘4k upscaling’ which is of limited value unless you have a 4k (uhd) display, and even then you’ll be disappointed. Here’s why: the bdp-s6700 hdmi output is version 1. 4a which meets some, but not all, of the minimum requirements for 4k video. Of particular note is color depth. 4a displays a maximum 8-bit color depth (256 colors) which is vga quality. For full 4k color resolution you need a player with hdmi ver 2. 0 or better to get the 10-, 12- or 16-bit colors that really make the new 4k displays shine. I knew this going in so the bdp-s6700 was a perfect match for my ‘older’ (2012) samsung hd plasma display and denon avr-591 receiver. Caution: if you set your bdp-s6700 to a color depth greater than your display can process, you will get screen flickers, interference bands and blank screens.
Colors are vibrant, wi-fi connection works well. Mostly, not too much lag time when pressing buttons. The blu-ray/dvd player work as they should. I am really reviewing the streaming. I have youtube, netflix, vudu, and amazon prime. I have a roku 3, and this bdp-s6700 video blows that away. The bdp-s6700 also supports 24p on vudu, amazon, and netflix. Pandora forgets the user name/password after shut down of the unit.
