Ultimate picture quality
Now widely established, 4K Ultra-HD is the reference standard for Hi-Res video playback. Freed from the compression constraints of 4K streaming services, UHD Blu-ray delivers the highest quality image quality and without the concern of Internet or wi-fi dropouts.
Support for Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG
Compatibility with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG formats gives the UBP-X800M2 wide-ranging compatibility with the latest high resolution video formats. All these technologies produce the sharpest resolution with eye-popping levels of detail and realism.
4K upscaling for your existing Blu-ray discs
As well as UHD Blu-ray discs, the UBP-X800M2 also plays conventional (FHD 1080p) Blu-ray discs to a higher standard. Provided your TV accepts a UHD 4K signal, the Sony upscales the image to make use of its full resolution, giving improved detail and realism.
HDR to SDR convertor
If your current TV isn't compatible with HDR, the Sony features an HDR to SDR convertor. Sony's unique technology lets you playback HDR-encoded discs on a regular 4K UHD TV, offering the highest picture quality possible.
Supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X discs
This player not only supports the highest quality picture formats, it also supports the best movie sound formats. When used with a suitable multi-channel sound system, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X provide sensational audio, with object based imaging for a totally immersive sound.
High-Resolution Audio compatible
Whether you choose to play from disc, USB or stream via a DLNA compatible network, the UBP-X800M2 is compatible with a wide range of Hi-Res music files. 24-bit/192Hz FLAC and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) files give superb sound quality, meaning you won't need to add a separate network streamer to your AV system.
Premium build quality for cleaner sound
Built to higher standards than many Blu-ray players, Sony uses construction techniques more usually reserved for high-end Hi-Fi. The casing features Sony’s unique Frame and Beam chassis for excellent vibration resistance. Reducing vibration gives the internal electronics an easier life, thereby reducing distortion.
DSEE HX sound enhancement
Even if you’re not using Hi-res music sources, DSEE HX can help you get closer. Upsampling MP3s and other compressed music files, DSEE HX enhances the music signal, giving a brighter, more detailed sound.
4K video streaming
As well as 4K UHD Blu-ray discs, you can also take advantage of the Sony's 4K video streaming services. Already available via Netflix, Amazon and YouTube, 4K streaming takes streaming to another level of clarity and striking image quality.
Universal disc playback
As well as Blu-ray, DVD and CD, the Sony UBP-X800M2 plays a wide range of other discs. SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) and DVD-A discs can be played as well as audio discs recorded using FLAC, DSD, ALAC or AIFF formats. This gives the Sony the ability to excel with High Resolution music formats, lifting its sound quality well above most Blu-ray players.
Twin HDMI sockets, USB and coaxial for easy connectivity
Twin HDMI sockets give you flexible connectivity. The second HDMI lets you run an audio source to another room or use the player with older AV receivers that won't pass through 4K HDR signals. The front-mounted USB interface is ideal for plug-in media players. A coaxial digital output gives compatibility with other digital components. Powerful, dual band, built-in wi-fi effortlessly links to your system.
Bluetooth output with LDAC
A Bluetooth output makes it easy to connect the Sony’s audio output to your Bluetooth headphones or speaker system – perfect for private or late night listening. LDAC gives you improved Bluetooth sound with around 3x the data of standard Bluetooth, giving improved detail and sense of depth.
Enjoy ultimate sound and vision, with the Sony UBP-X800M2.

What a great UHD DVD player. Awesome!
I bought this DVD player six weeks ago and it is totally awesome. I have a collection of SACD's and the sound is incredible. When playing 4K films, the picture quality is ultra sharp and bright and the sound is outstanding and the separation is really great. I totally recommend this player. For the price Richer Sounds are selling it in my opinion is a real bargain. Also the staff at Maidstone's branch went out of their way to help. I cannot fault them and give them 5 stars as well. I will always shop at Richer Sounds for my Tech.

Good performance
This is the 3rd Bluray i had from Sony in past few years, The first was a cheaper model and failed after 18months after not much usage, The second one i got the UBP-X800M2 the player is nice looking and worked well with the Sony Amp and TV. However 18months later it failed after not much use. So im now on the 3rd one another UBP-X800M2 and hope it will last, this time i took a 5 year cover plan

Almost Perfect
This player is physically built to a very high standard. However, it is not without issues. For example. The machine routinely freezes and requires rebooting which can be very frustrating. But, When it plays a movie throughout the experience is fantastic. This machine is also superb for its audio output and support, which I often run-through a very decent amp. I very much hope the firmware continues to update to improve upon and reduce or prevent the freezing, assuming that it is in-fact a software bug as opposed to a temperature issue as this does not seem to be an issue when tested. Although I have made extra efforts to prevent any potential overheating as a precaution. I keep the machine well ventilated and elevated with some larger rubber feet underneath the chassis to increase airflow. I believe the freezing is most likely linked to the onboard network controller but it difficult to say for certain as the freezing is intermittent and without an obvious consistent cause. Finally it would be phenomenal if Sony added Spotify and Tidal support as this machine would then do it all in my humble opinion and for the money be tough product to beat. So iron out the kinks please Sony as this machine is well worth the effort for all to enjoy and not just the loaded audiophiles.
Almost perfect for the money!

Great pictures
Not cheap but you get what you pay for. It's a very solid well made player.
I've got it hooked up to an XR-55A80J and Sonos surround speakers. 4k discs look amazing as do normal Blu-Ray discs. The sound is also superb. I watched a 4k Bohemian disc and it was like being at Wembley watching Queen. Superb.

Sleek and solid 4K Blu-Ray player
The Sony UBPX800M2 is a beautifully solid and streamlined piece of kit. Unlike so many units these days this has a sturdt build quality which no doubt enables the unit to read discs with little or no vibration - as we all know it is these vibrations that can cause havoc with both audio and visual quality. This unit has none of these issues. Sound is solid in the bass and expansive in the mids and highs. Picture quality is amazing - both with UHD 4k discs and slightly surprisingly when upscaling standard 1080p blu-ray discs. It is not the cheapest unit one can buy but if you can stretch to it the extra money more than pays you back with quality. We love it...!

good for home cinema
I wanted a player that can output video and audio separately
and this one did the trick. But I found I had to make a specific setting in Settings which flummoxed me at first but it's fine now. Also in terms of dimensions it fits with other kit quite nicely.

Loads of seaching led me to buy this
Having recently upgraded my home entertainment, I needed a 4K blu ray player that fitted the bill and was led to many examples.
I could have bought a lot cheaper but I wanted to make sure the audio and video were excellent and I wasn't disappointed. £269 for this was pretty good. I could have got the same from Currys but I like to support Richer Sounds when I can.
Setting this up was very easy. Connected to the TV, added an ethernet cable and set up the options on screen took a whole 10 minutes. Once I had bought some 4K films and put Jupiter Ascending on, the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos through my sound bar was exceptional. I really felt that I was a cinema except I could control the sound!
All in all, the price was worth it and you really do get what you paid for

Sony 4K Blu Ray
Subjective rewiew only, but on the face of it blows my previous 2 players out of the water. Built like a tank, delivering excellent blacks and neutral colours, with good sound all straight out of the box.
Paired with a 55" Sony A8J it has breathed new life in to my blu ray collection and the few 4K titles I have, offer another upgrade in picture quality.
Can be a little slow to start up, laggy on finding selected scenes, forward and backward shuttling is hit and miss, but that's probably just my impatience.
It is expensive, but I think it offers decent value for money over other players. Could have saved a tenner too by joining the VIP club, but didn't realise until after clicking pay.
Doubles quite well as a CD player and certainly not as bright as previous Sony CD spinners I've had.
I don't use it to stream as we use the TV for that so can't comment.
