This DVD player started out working great. After 12 and a half months it just quit.

It took a while to figure out how to send the higher resolution of SACD to my stereo and be able to see the selections I was making. It would be nice to have more display info on the DVD player itself, I could drop the TV out of the mix. I would LOVE if the display also would show the resolution of the music being played.

Arrived DOA (Dead-On-Arrival) and SONY refused to warranty repair or exchange it. None of it's functions worked. After many phone calls and emails with SONY, they said it was not sold to me through an authorized SONY dealer. The "repair shop" they referred me to, said they do NOT repair Blue-ray disc players, that they only exchange them, and would not exchange mine. I am now left with a WORTHLESS disc player. [WARNING] - Before ordering a SONY product through your credit union's VISA "Rewards" program (as I did), make sure that the shipper is an authorized SONY retailer!

This product is a disappointment. Frequently fails to read DVDs correctly, resulting in incorrect aspect ratio. Also sometimes displays captions when not wanted. I've gone over operating instructions and updated repeatedly. The malfunctions are chronic.

We have been after a 4K Blu-Ray player for some time to rplace our elderly but still functional, UBP-H1 machine. This didn't disappoint. Very sharp 4K picture from standard Blu ray, even better than our previous machine and that was also a well regarded player. and as for 4K discs, very good indeed. The only small caveat is the need to switch to Dolby Vision manually, but we already knew this. As the player is now at a great price, please don't hesitate to buy it while it is still in production

Totally amazing picture once I finally realised that I learnt how to set the picture settings. Apparently, too much playing around with settings and starting from scratch with help, the sound & picture quality is on a different level. Sony UBP-X800M2 punches above it's weight.

MY NEW (UNDER WARRANTY) UBP-X800M2 WILL NOT PLAY CD'S OR BLUE RAY DISCS. I WENT THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE "HELP" FOUR TIMES - ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR TOTAL. TWICE WE GOT IT TO WORK, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD NOT PLAY THEM. MY SAMSUNG BRD PLAYER JUST WORKS, WITH NO PROBLEMS PLAYING!

Bought this setup to replace a defunct CD player and radio. Nice set up with reasonable sound quality for a reasonable price.

Occasionally freezes with green light in the front indicating it it's on and doesn't allow to turn off. Have to unplug it.

Sony 4k players (both the UXP-x800m2 and uxp-x700) are decent for the price but have some known issues. They support Dolby Vision, though you have to turn it on and off depending on whether the disc supports it. They have known issues with the transition from the 2nd to 3rd layers of 4K discs, which is annoying to experience 2/3rds through a movie (it's basically akin to what you'd expect for a disc issue, except you often need to reboot the player to recover from it). The UXP-x800m2 will report "Dolby 2.0" on the output display, though it still might be outputting 5.1 or better.

I purchased this 4k blu-ray player to go with my recently purchased Sony 4k TV and matching soundbar to complete my home AV system. It integrates easily with the other Sony products. The picture & sound are everything I'd expect from Sony, clarity and detail superb on a 4k disc. I also tried several discs from my standard blu-ray collection and the upscaling was impressive (a lot will depend on the age of the movie and the quality of the transfer). Overall a quality product.

this is a great match for my Sony 4k TV so I can get 4k picture quality and sound, because I love watching 4k DVD's. Easy to operate, and good style and design not too big.

I have to give it one star only because my TV doesn't support Dolby Vision, only HDR 10+ and this player only supports Dolby Vidion

I bought this soundbar to accompany a new Sony Bravia 8 OLES TV and I am glad I did as the sound quality is so much better than you can get from the TV speakers alone.

I got this mainly for its ability to play multichannel SCAD & DVD-A audio discs. Not too many players can do this nowadays. It has played these and Blu Ray exceptionally well. In two months time, I have yet to have an issue of it locking up. The audio and video aspects of this player have impressed. Really can't go wrong at this price point.

Seems OK so far just a shame it doesn't seem to support E-AC-3 JOC audio as a80j does maybe you could fix this by an update!?

My antique DVPND70H will remember where you were in the last several DVDs you played, even if they were removed and reinserted after months. This expensive junk can't remember where you were in the BD that STAYED INSERTED when you paused the movie half way through. Quailty! (quality misspelled on purpose)

Excellent for what I bought it for , Hires audio from USB , audio out via Coaxial. But video(mkv) from USB drive audio not supported E AC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) ,that is only lack for Sony UBP-X800M2. All kind of disc play perfectly. Maybe firmware update can fix Dolby Digital Plus compability with mkv files from USB.

Bought this unit a few months back it is a great unit that I pair up with my home theater system. My biggest problem with the unit is that it freezes all the time where I have to turn it off and turn back up. I wish Sony had fix for this issue. I hate the unit because of that.

I know that this unit was quite expensive and thought th it would last longer than 3 years since I have a cheaper Sony tha only cost $40.00 and it works just fine. I'm very disappointed.

I should have done a better job of reading support forums before purchasing this piece of equipment I got it specifically for playing 4K disks. Every 4K disk that I have played freezes during playback. All of them have been brand new, store-purchased 4K movies. It seems that this player has been plagued with that problem for quite a long time. Based on what I found on several support and/or review sites, the problem appears to happen when the player has to switch layers on the disks. The issue was reportedly corrected in the player's newer firmware, but that does not seem to be the case, at least not with the player I received. The Sony Store will not issue a refund for it, nor will they send a replacement until after I pack up the defective device and send it to them. I, as an individual consumer, have comparatively more to lose by having nothing to show for my purchase for however long it takes Sony to process the exchange, as compared to a multi-billion dollar company sending me a replacement before I ship away the defective one. They could easily collect payment information from me so they could charge me for the replacement if I failed to return the defective item within a predetermined time frame. That is the way my computer hardware vendors handle replacements of defective equipment. If you are considering purchasing a 4K player, do yourself a favor and look at some of the other brands. There are less-expensive players on the market that have better reviews than this particular model. I just ordered a non-Sony replacement and I'm going to write this one off as a loss since Sony won't issue a refund to me. I see no point in getting an exchange from Sony that is probably going to have the exact same problem. That is a waste of my time and effort.
