Play all your favorites — on discs or from the cloud

You don't need to spend an arm and a leg to get a solid-performing Blu-ray player these days. Sony's BDP-1700 lets you savor movies and TV shows, from your favorite Blu-ray and DVD box sets, to shows you binge-watch through online services like Netflix®. Sony's entry-level players have been getting positive reviews from our customers in recent years for their quick startup times and (of course) excellent picture quality. This player is a nice, inexpensive way to make an older TV "smart" by giving you access to the most popular online streaming services. (Please keep in mind, to do streaming you'll need to connect this player to your router with an Ethernet cable.)

USB input gives you more entertainment options

When you don't have a controller connected, the front panel USB port is great for sharing pictures, videos, and music. Simply connect your USB device or thumb drive and start watching a slide show on your TV. Or you can listen to playlists through your home theater speakers. Got a wacky video of the dog or the kids? Again, display it on the big screen so everyone can laugh along.
