#Sony smart player Bluetooth

It’s a shame given the admirable way Sony continues to stand by and support niche audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD, which are both supported by the UBP-X800M2. The Sony also doesn’t cater for HDR10+, which is a little disappointing when rival machines such as the Panasonic DP-UB820EB tick all the major HDR boxes. There is 4K HDR support where available, although the Sony doesn’t support Dolby Atmos over Netflix or Dolby Vision via Amazon Prime Video. It’s useful for late-night viewing and we don’t suffer any lip-sync issues when using the feature during testing.Īs part of its smart suite, the UBP-X800M2 comes with the three major video streaming services: YouTube, Netflix (with a dedicated button on the remote) and Amazon Prime Video. That’s right, you can actually stream audio from the player to a pair of headphones.

Look closely and you’ll see a small Bluetooth logo.

There’s also a coaxial digital output and an ethernet for wired internet connection and for accessing the player’s built-in streaming services (dual-band wi-fi is also included). There are twin HDMI outputs that can be used to split audio and video so you’re feeding the purest signals into your display device and AV home cinema amplifier. Around the rear of the deck is a familiar arrangement of video and audio outputs.
