Sony All Region Free (bundle, ref SONY1130) review

A region-free Blu-ray and DVD player on world-wide voltage, with a full published audio output table.

In brief

The only player here that plays a disc from anywhere — all three Blu-ray regions, all eight DVD regions, PAL and NTSC, on world-wide voltage. Read the title carefully: it says Bundle, and the reference is not a Sony model number. Key figures: Region-free Blu-ray and DVD player playing Blu-ray regions A, B and C and DVD regions 0 to 8 in PAL and NTSC, on 100 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz, with 7.1 channel HDMI audio output, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream output, coaxial digital audio, BRAVIA Sync and a 6 foot HDMI cable. Amazon.com had an offer at $217 on October 25, 2026.

It is the only player here that will play a disc from anywhere

BD: A/B/C. DVD: 012345678. PAL/NTSC. 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz.

Blu-ray has three regions: A for North and South America, Japan and Korea; B for Europe, Africa and Oceania; C for China, Russia and India. DVD has eight, with 1 for the United States and Canada.

The other nine players on this shelf that publish a code all say A/1. A disc bought in Britain, France or Japan is refused.

And PAL/NTSC is the second half of the problem. A DVD pressed for Europe is PAL; one pressed for America is NTSC. Without conversion the picture arrives in black and white, rolling, or not at all.

The world-wide voltage finishes the job: the machine itself can move countries.

If you have inherited a collection, or buy editions that were never released in the United States, this is the only answer on this shelf.

But read the title before you buy

The title says “Sony All Region Free… (Bundle)”. The reference is SONY1130.

That is not the shape of a Sony model number. Compare the shelf: BDPS1700UB.UC2, UBPX700UB.UC2, BDPS6700.

Sony does not sell region-free players. So the region capability on this chassis comes from somewhere else, and the listing does not say from whom, by what method, or what becomes of the warranty — no warranty terms are published at all.

None of which makes it a bad product; converting Sony chassis is a long-established trade and the results are generally solid. It does mean the usual manufacturer recourse may not apply. Buy on the seller’s returns terms, not Sony’s.

The audio output table is the most complete on this shelf

HDMI AUDIO 7.1-channel out (96/48 kHz), LPCM 5.1-channel out (192/96/48 kHz)… Dolby TrueHD bit-stream out, DTS HD Master Audio bit-stream out. DIGITAL COAXIAL… LPCM 2-channel (96 kHz / 24-bit) out.

Nobody else here publishes a sample rate at all.

Three things worth drawing out:

Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream out — the lossless formats a Blu-ray carries, passed untouched to your amplifier. That is the real audio reason to own a Blu-ray player rather than a DVD player, and four listings on this shelf never mention it.

A coaxial digital output, which feeds an amplifier that has no HDMI. It carries compressed Dolby Digital and DTS, and 2-channel LPCM at 96 kHz/24-bit — not the lossless formats, which need HDMI’s bandwidth.

BRAVIA Sync, which is Sony’s name for HDMI-CEC: your television’s remote operates the player. The Panasonic DMP-BD84P on this shelf names the same mechanism as HDMI-CEC.

Its streaming is a date stamp, not a feature

The Sony Entertainment Network (SEN)… Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, and YouTube.

Neither “Hulu Plus” nor the Sony Entertainment Network exists under those names any more.

That tells you nothing about what the player does today and a good deal about how old the chassis design is.

It also makes the general point for this whole shelf: a disc player’s laser outlasts its app store by many years. Apps need certificates, DRM updates and API changes that an old player stops receiving; the mechanism keeps reading discs regardless.

Buy a player for discs. Let the television, or a twenty-dollar stick, do the apps.

What is not published

No weight. No dimensions beyond the catalog’s 203 × 203 × 51 mm. No warranty.

And 1080p is the ceiling — it does not read a 4K disc. Three players here do: Sony’s UBP-X700U at $328 and both 4K Panasonics. The Sony BDP-S6700 at $399.99 does not, despite its title.

Buying it in the United States

Amazon.com lists this model (ASIN B00M0U7AGK) and had an offer at $217 on October 25, 2026. The price box on this page is refreshed live and takes precedence over that figure.

  • 230 V. The published supply voltage is European. A plug adapter does not change the voltage; on a 120 V outlet it needs a step-up transformer rated for its power draw, or it should not be bought at all.

In its favor, and against it

Strengths

  • All three Blu-ray regions and all eight DVD regions, in PAL and NTSC — unique on this shelf
  • World-wide voltage, so it works on 230 V as well as 120 V
  • The most complete audio output table here, with sample rates nobody else publishes

Compromises

  • The title says Bundle and the reference is SONY1130, which is not the form of a Sony model number
  • No warranty terms published, which on a modified machine is the thing you would want
  • Its streaming description names services that no longer exist under those names

What gets asked most

What should I know before buying a region-free player?

Read the title and the reference carefully. The listing is headed "Sony All Region Free Blu Ray A B C and DVD Player, and 6 feet hdmi Cable (Bundle)", and the reference is SONY1130 — which is not the shape of a Sony model number. Compare the others on this shelf: BDPS1700UB.UC2, UBPX700UB.UC2, BDPS6700. Sony does not sell region-free players; so the region capability on this chassis comes from somewhere else, and the listing does not say from whom, how, or what happens to the warranty — no warranty terms are published at all. None of that makes the product wrong, and region-free conversions of Sony chassis are a long-established trade. It does mean the usual manufacturer recourse may not apply, so buy on the seller’s own returns terms rather than Sony’s.

What does region-free actually get me?

Discs from anywhere, and it is the only player on this shelf that offers it. The published codes are "BD: A/B/C - DVD: 012345678 PAL/NTSC". Blu-ray has three regions — A for North America, South America, Japan and Korea; B for Europe, Africa and Oceania; C for China, Russia and India — and DVD has eight, with 1 for the United States. The other nine players here that publish a code all say A/1, so a British or Japanese disc is simply refused. And PAL/NTSC conversion is the second half: a DVD pressed for Europe is PAL, one pressed for America is NTSC, and a player without conversion shows the wrong one in black and white or not at all. The 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz supply completes it — the machine itself can travel.

Is its streaming worth anything?

Treat it as a date stamp rather than a feature. The description offers "the Sony Entertainment Network (SEN), which gives you access to over 200 streaming services such as Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, and YouTube" — and neither "Hulu Plus" nor the Sony Entertainment Network exists under those names any more. That does not tell you what the player will do today; it tells you how old the chassis design is. And it illustrates the general rule for this whole shelf: a disc player’s laser outlasts its app store by many years. Apps need certificates, DRM updates and API changes that a ten-year-old player stops receiving, while the mechanism goes on reading discs. Buy a player for discs, and let the television or a cheap streaming stick handle apps. On this shelf the region codes and the audio table are what you are paying for here.
