What customers say about "Key Specs"

Sony BDP-BX370 Blu-Ray Player with Wi-Fi

This Blu Ray Player seems to work great, has reliable built in wifi and a much better menu than most prior sony products.
Have only used once, worked great. Easy to connect to wifi and good signal.
WiFi works fine and streaming quality is good. Overall I am happy with it so far.
It plays blu-rays beautifully...but the WiFi and built-in apps are an absolute joke. Multiple times the apps disappeared...and the WiFi connection was lost.
It started disconnecting from the wifi randomly. Sometimes it might stay connected for a few hours, others only 15 minutes or less. This requires unplugging the unit and plugging it back in to reset.

Sony BDP-S3700 Blu-Ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi

Player is very compact yet does a nice job. Like to smart capabilities.
Love the smart capabilities and easy to setup with wifi.
So easy to just take out of the box, connect and use. It's great that it can be used for it's Smart TV capabilities. Navigating the menu options is simple.
Great option for those looking for 1080 high quality movies on a budget.
The dvd-blu-ray player with wi-fi built in was great. It got Netflix very easily. It is very fast.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony BDP-BX370 Blu-Ray Player with Wi-Fi

I love all the apps on it for streaming content. Glad I bought it no issues thus far and excellent picture quality.
The interface is quick and intuitive. Discs load reasonably fast. Network connection was flawless.
TIny unit by comparison to earlier models. Loads very quickly and produces excellent video.
The first stopped reading discs, now the replacement is resetting to factory whenever it feels like it. Causing me to input all the logins and wifi password. Really annoying.
It would lose internet connection in the middle of a video. If you watched a Blue-Ray disc and then went to online videos, it would lose connections to the online apps.

Sony BDP-S3700 Blu-Ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi

It has many pre installed services like Netflix. Glad to have that, recommended.
Love it great size plays every format of digital media. Decent performance!
I love that it plays regular and Blu Ray DVDS and the remote allows you the ability to program all the other remotes to it!
Works great and easy to navigate with remote control. Modern device, excellent quality.
I love it. Especially the Ethernet connection. I can watch different when there is nothing but junk on cable.

What customers say about "Outputs"

Sony BDP-BX370 Blu-Ray Player with Wi-Fi

As a Blu-Ray player, this little guy is very easy to connect and use. HDMI works well.
It is the same as the Sony BDP-S3700, with an HDMI cable included.
Super easy to install, set up and activate. Only need to plug power cord into outlet, and hook HDMI cable to rear of DVD player.
It has only HDMI connectivity, with a digital audio coaxial connection, no 3-D and no 4K.
The audio output is a bit limited, so I had to buy an additional adapter to use my sound bar.

Sony BDP-S3700 Blu-Ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi

I was looking for an economical Blu-Ray player with an HDMI output and this worked perfectly. Easy to setup.
Was looking for a small footprint DVD player with HDMI output. This one fit both of these criteria. Seems to provide very good picture quality.
Easy setup has an output for an audio jack separate from the HDMI.
great product. have ether net port,digital audio coaxial output port, HDMI output, Wi-Fi. Complete output method, lowest price. Great quality.
It only has HDMI out and Coaxial out, and therefore will not work for playing CDs on older receivers/amplifiers that only have RCA inputs.
