Great Blu-ray and SACD player
I have been looking for a way to play my SACD disks for a long time, and I was delighted to find this economical player. It works extremely well, and I am now listening in glorious surround sound to my disks.

Works away silently, intuitive to operate. Nice !
I read other reviews of this model that mention how loud the drive is on this machine; either these people have the hearing of a dog or Sony have fixed the issue. Either way you won't hear the mechanism on this machine unless you have your ear glued to it. It's far quieter than my old Philips was.
It's a great player with some extras that I didn't expect; a few apps are included, though - and I would drop half a star for this if it was possible, I was extremely irked to get a message, one week after buying the machine, stating that BBCI-Player is about to removed in July(2024). I know it can be streamed from a phone, but I enjoyed the interface that Sony implemented and I found it more convenient that casting. I know the UBPX700 is over 10 years old, but I really think that major apps that the player ship with, should be supported as long as the model is current, and indeed well beyond.
Anyway, that annoyance aside I'm very happy with it. Yeah I'd love it to have a display and perhaps to be built less plasticky but to be honest, it sits at the bottom of a rack and few will notice the build quality or lack thereof once it is in use. The sound quality is great, but I can't comment on the image quality as I currently only have a fullHD TV. If anyone else is in this boat, don't worry- straight out of the box the machine 'knows' not to output 4k to a non 4k TV and the viewing experience will be seamless.
The remote is a joy to use; it's very ergonomic and sits well in the hand with a nice groove for your thumb at the back. It's also very responsive, which is especially welcome if you ever need to enter info such as a password via the on-screen keyboard.
Overall this machine is highly recommended for a very reasonable price.

Second one I own: great UHD Blu-ray player
I have owned one of these for over 5 years already, so having searched the market for a cheap but decent Blu-ray player to replace a 22-year-old home cinema system and finding not much worth having for a reasonable price, I chose a second UBP-X700 from Sony. Although the apps available on the player are limited, it does provide Youtube which the kids like and to be honest, smart TVs and other devices provide these. Perfomance-wise, the picture is fantastic and it handles all formats and codecs you would want. Obviously 4K and HD Blu-ray discs have a pin-sharp picture, but this player also does a very good job of upscaling SD content from standard DVDs. It's very easy to use and the menus are intuitive with reasonable descriptions for the functions in each sub-menu. Definitely a great Blu-ray player for anyone wanting a feature-rich device with good performance at a sensible price.

Compact and easy to install.
A tidy unit, more compact than our old player. Initial setting up very easy. Picture looks excellent and coped well with a standard Blu-ray film. Not had chance to try a variety of media yet but a great first impression. t

Issues playing 4K UHD Discs
I have owned the player for around 3 months. No issues playing CDs, DVDs or Blu-Rays. As others have reported the player has issues playing 4K UHD discs reliably. A number of discs have either skipped or frozen when watching normally around the 1 hour 50 minute mark. When frozen the player has to be powered off and back on. I suspect the player is having issues changing disc layers.
