Still the only source that is not compressed to fit a pipe · review
A Region A player at 1080p with Dolby Digital, HDMI and AV outputs and both cables supplied.
In brief
Both cables in the box and a clean statement of what it plays — but it names only Dolby Digital, where its own stablemate, $2 cheaper on October 25, 2026, passes the lossless formats. Its weight is exactly two pounds. Key figures: Region A Blu-ray and Region 1 DVD player with upscaled 1080p Full HD output, Dolby Digital surround support, HDMI and AV outputs with both cables supplied, USB playback of video, music and photo files, and a remote control. Amazon.com had an offer at $110 on October 25, 2026.
Seven short bullets, each stating one thing: resolution, outputs, audio, USB, region, box contents, upscaling.
Set that against the N-NUTROMO DVD from the same brand, whose bullets run to a hundred and fifty words each and include phrases like “matching studio mastering dimensions”. Both are the same price bracket. This one is easier to check.
Immersive surround sound with Dolby Digital support.
Dolby Digital is lossy — compressed surround, and the format a DVD carries.
A Blu-ray carries Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio: lossless, bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. That is the biggest single audio difference between the two disc formats, and it is the reason to own a Blu-ray player at all rather than a good DVD player.
A player that passes the lossless bitstream gives your amplifier the whole soundtrack. One that does not sends a downmix.
And the alternative is from the same brand, on the same shelf:
N-NUTROMO, $99.99 — “Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD” N-NUTROMO DVD, $104.99 — “Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS” This, $106.99 — “Dolby Digital”
Seven dollars less for the full path. That is the comparison, and it is not close.
Includes both HDMI and AV cables for easy setup right out of the box.
On this shelf, the three Panasonics — $117.99, $367.99 and $629.99 — state no cable at all, and nor does the Sony BDP-S6700 at $399.99.
The two cheap Sonys include HDMI. All four budget brands include HDMI, and three of them include AV as well.
High definition is not permitted over an analog output. Blu-ray’s copy-protection rules forbid it, so a Blu-ray through that cable comes out at standard definition.
The socket is for a CRT or a very old projector, not for your discs.
Only one listing on this shelf explains it, and it is this brand’s other model: the N-NUTROMO DVD, which calls the AV link “structurally engineered for standard-definition DVD, VCD, and CD media playback”.
Four players here have an AV output. One of them tells you.
And the same figure appears on the Sony BDP-S6700.
Two unrelated products carrying the same round imperial number is the signature of a placeholder, not a measurement. The other weights here read like measurements: Sony UBP-X700U 3.1 lb (1.4 kg) · Sony BDP-S1700U 816 g (28.8 oz) · Panasonic DMP-BD84P 771 g (27.2 oz) · Panasonic UB420 3.1 lb (1.4 kg) · Panasonic UB820 5.3 lb (2.4 kg) · DID A-R 600 g (21.2 oz).
What weight genuinely tells you on a disc player: a heavier chassis resists the vibration a spinning disc produces. It is part of why the $629.99 Panasonic weighs 5.3 lb (2.4 kg). At this price it is not something to buy on.
No USB capacity limit — where the DID A-R and Tojock cap at 128 GB and this brand’s own other model claims 8 TB.
No chipset, where the N-NUTROMO DVD names an MT8553 and 256 MB of DDR3.
No coaxial output, where the Tojock and both premium Sonys have one for feeding an amplifier without HDMI.
1080p only — three players here read a 4K disc, and the $399.99 Sony is not one of them despite its title.

Because it is the DVD’s format, not the Blu-ray’s. The listing offers "immersive surround sound with Dolby Digital support, bringing cinema-like audio quality" — and Dolby Digital is lossy: compressed surround, which is what a DVD carries. A Blu-ray carries Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, which are lossless — bit-for-bit identical to the studio master. That is the single largest audio difference between the two disc formats. A player that passes the lossless bitstream to your amplifier delivers the whole soundtrack; one that does not sends a compressed downmix. And the comparison is on this shelf, from the same brand: the N-NUTROMO at $99.99 names "Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD", and the N-NUTROMO DVD at $104.99 names "Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS". Six or seven dollars less, for the full path.
It can, and the number is worth a second look because it is exactly 2.00 pounds — and it appears twice on this shelf. The Sony BDP-S6700 is also listed at 907 g (32 oz). Two unrelated products carrying the same round imperial figure is the signature of a placeholder rather than a measurement. The other weights here look like measurements: Sony UBP-X700U 3.1 lb (1.4 kg), Sony BDP-S1700U 816 g (28.8 oz), Panasonic DMP-BD84P 771 g (27.2 oz), Panasonic UB420 3.1 lb (1.4 kg), Panasonic UB820 5.3 lb (2.4 kg), DID A-R 600 g (21.2 oz). For what weight tells you on a disc player: a heavier chassis resists the vibration a spinning disc produces, which is why the $629.99 Panasonic at 5.3 lb (2.4 kg) is built the way it is. At this price it is not a figure to buy on.
Only for an old television, and the listing does not explain why. It offers compatibility "with modern and legacy TVs via HDMI and AV connections. Includes both HDMI and AV cables" — which is genuinely useful, since three Panasonics on this shelf supply no cable at all. But high definition is not permitted over an analog output: Blu-ray’s copy-protection rules forbid it. So a Blu-ray played through the AV cable arrives at standard definition, looking much like a DVD. Only one listing on this shelf says so — its own stablemate, the N-NUTROMO DVD, which calls the AV link "structurally engineered for standard-definition DVD, VCD, and CD media playback". Use HDMI for discs. The AV cable is for a CRT or a very old projector.

A tidy second player where both cables in the box is the deciding factor
