SONY UBP-X700/K

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player with reference picture and sound

Your home theater deserves the highest quality. Delivered without compromise only by the physical 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format. The centerpiece of any audiovisual setup must therefore be a UHDBD player.

The Sony UBP-X700/K, from the creators of the Blu-ray and 4K UHDBD formats themselves, represents a stable and technologically advanced foundation for precise picture performance, immersive surround sound, and absolute compatibility with your physical home entertainment media.

The X700 guarantees accurate reading and processing of native Ultra HD resolution with hardware support for the latest formats up to 4K with HDR. It thus delivers picture and audio material at the highest data rate and in the quality intended by the creators in professional studios.

Reference picture and sound delivery 

Quality is its middle name. The player features a quiet, reliable drive and a powerful picture processor, bringing unprecedented clarity, contrast, and sharpness to your screen or canvas that heavily compressed streams simply cannot achieve.

Support for all physical video formats

The Sony UBP-X700/K offers full compatibility with a wide range of optical media. It reliably and smoothly loads not only the latest 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, but is fully backwards compatible with standard Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and classic DVD discs. You can trust that your movie collection will be played back in the highest possible quality regardless of its age.

Dolby Vision, HDR10 and 16-bit Deep Colour

HDR ensures the preservation of detail in extremely bright and dark scenes. Dolby Vision technology dynamically optimizes every scene, while the traditional HDR10 format maintains excellent overall brightness and absolute blacks. Faithful and perfectly smooth reproduction of color transitions without banding is ensured by support for 16-bit Deep Colour depth.

24p True Cinema frame rate and 4K Upscaling

Enjoy a cinematic projection exactly as directed by the creators themselves. The 24p True Cinema mode respects and natively passes through the original frame rate of cinema film (24 frames per second) for an authentic experience without artificial image smoothing. The integrated powerful upscaling can also recalculate the lower resolution of older Blu-ray and DVD titles into Ultra HD.

Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD surround sound

Get the absolute maximum out of your home theater. The UBP-X700/K serves as a precise digital transport, ensuring exact decoding or flawless bitstreaming of uncompressed audio tracks from discs. The native pass-through of object-oriented Dolby Atmos sound and the lossless Dolby TrueHD format guarantees crystal-clear reproduction and three-dimensional localization of spatial effects.

Lossless dynamics of DTS:X and DTS-HD Master Audio

High-end audio equipment would be useless without a corresponding signal. Therefore, the player fully supports bitstreaming of studio mixes from the DTS stable. It provides a purist pass-through for the losslessly compressed DTS-HD Master Audio signal as well as the latest immersive 3D sound DTS:X. The result is punchy dynamics without any signs of compression.

Dual HDMI output for clean A/V separation

To prevent electrical noise or latency, the device features strict hardware separation of picture and sound. The main HDMI port is used to send pure 4K video to your TV, while a second, audio-only HDMI sends an undistorted audio signal to the amplifier. This eliminates the need to replace an older high-end receiver that lacks pass-through capabilities for 4K or HDR displays.

Expanded BT.2020 color space

Support for the BT.2020 color space standard provides access to a significantly wider palette of colors than the classic HD signal allowed. This superior range brings the ability to reproduce highly saturated and precise shades – from delicate skin tones to the heavily saturated colors of neon signs. The visuals thus retain the reference qualities of a studio master.

Hi-Fi music ecosystem and SA-CD playback

The player excels not only in home theater but also as a dedicated digital audio transport for stereo systems. The drive fully supports reading high-quality Super Audio CD (SA-CD) with high-resolution audio. In addition, via the front-panel USB or home network protocols, you can play lossless digital files and DSD codecs (up to 11.2 MHz), FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, or WAV.

Purposeful compact design

The Japanese manufacturer took a rational approach with the UBP-X700 model. The narrow chassis, just 320 millimeters wide without an unnecessary display on the front panel, easily integrates even into crowded A/V setups. Inside, however, hides full-blooded technology designed for one thing: maximum precision in reading data without any interfering elements, which is confirmed by enthusiastic reviewer feedback on its top price-to-uncompromising-performance ratio.
