- Title: “(Bundle)” — reference SONY1130
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.
