How to Setup a Sony Blue-Ray Disc/DVD Player 

It is 2024 and your video is still helping people like me. Many thx!

Thank you for this! I know it may seem silly to young people, but us oldies (I'm an x-er), we need our hands held throughout new technology set up. I bought a new (refurbished) one for the first time this week, so I needed instructions that were made 8 years ago. I finally gave in to the post-dvd world, many years after most. 😃 Thank god for RU-vid instruction videos

Oh my gosh! You're video solved my problem in two minutes. I spent 20+ minutes on the phone with Sony and it was quite apparent that the telephone operator was NOT a technician. After telling her she was no help, I turned to RU-vid and found you. Thanks so much for a great explanation.

Excellent ~ You were the only video that actually showed step-by-step instructions!!!

Thank you. I was ready to return the DVD player and then found this video. Everything is now up and running.

within 2 minutes I knew exactly what I did wrong and was watching the movie i couldn't wait to see thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video. It was comprehensive, yet easy to follow. It helped me immensely.

Thanks for video I hadn’t used my Sony Blue Ray player in a couple years and for some reason I had it plugged into some weird outlet in the back of my TV instead of the HDMI 2 port and it wasn’t working. You reminded to use the HDMI 2 port so I unplugged it from the whatever port and plugged it into the HDMI 2 port and now it works great! 👍 Thanks!

THANKS GEO. Helped a lot. Got my 1st blu ray today and watched you before even reading the instructions! Cool and thanks again. Well made video you recorded. Will see you again for sure.

This was perfectly easy explained...great job. Thank you!

Such a great step by step instruction video. I will be watching this again for installing my blue ray to my Samsung TV, and for future reference(s). Thank U so much!

The first 3 minutes is all I needed 👏🏾 Thanks!

I can't get the audio on with my new Sony Blu-ray player. When I first set it up it worked. Now I can't get it on no matter what I try. What am I doing wrong? Getting ready to go nuts pretty soon!

You always connect home theater to HDMI ARC(Audio Return Channel) tv input so you have both video and sound via one HDMI cable.Connecting to other HDMI tv input you gonna need an additional cable (like fibre optic) to get sound back.

This came in very handy. Saved me some time. Many thanks!

this was the perfect laymen's setup guide, thanks!

Have you used the digital coaxial audio out on this model? I just bought a projector and am trying to connect this model to it. The projector takes HDMI but is not compatible with Dolby 5.1 audio. I can switch the audio output to PCM, but Id rather have the Dolby 5.1 go to my stereo. I have the digital coaxial to 3.5mm hooked up to my stereo with the HDMI to the projector but the audio does not go to the stereo. Any idea why the digital coaxial cable does not take the audio when the Blu Ray is connected to the projector by HDMI?

I watched your video, and I have the same Sony Blue-Ray/DVD player, but no sound is coming out. It's a good video you made and followed step by step. Totally confused.

I'm having issues trying to switch it from wired to wireless connection. There's no option for it in network settings!

How do you connect to a soundbar?

Now it's simple to hook it on tv with the HDMI, but I want the sound to come off from the theatre.... how do I connect the blueray's sound to the theatre ?

thanks you saved the night 5/16/17 bought dv wifi wireless wasn't able too connect wireless yet as long as i can watch a dvd I'm good got rid of cable just use wifi for computer thanks your vid is easy and simple you save the night ...

ughh just got this as a gift but my TV is so old that it don't have anything but the audiovideo cable ports. it'll be a nice decoration

Do you know if I can connect it to my macbook pro via bluetooth? I have a CD for school but I need a cd player :(

Thank you!! Very informative, step by step really helped. I just moved & don't have my cable hooked up. Big help!!!😄😄

I miss the old school DVD players that had the digital track number, counter and all the cool led display stuff and you didn’t even need the remote .

Thank you for this Video I am not tech savvy and wanted to watch Netflix on my blue ray and now I can

Best video...thanks a lot. Very helpful for someone like me.

Thank you so much for this video It saved me a headache

How did you sync the blue ray player remote to your tv?

Good video man really helpful thanks

OK, it looks like a common problem with the wireless vs the wired and having it stuck on wired. I have the same issue with my Insignia TV - brand new mind you. So, can you explain how to switch it over to wireless? Or like the rest on this page, not answer the question?

I have the same one and it's not picking up on wifi it Will play dvds but it want connect it use to but it suddenly stop what do you suggest

This player can handle 4K video from youtube app like a champ!!!!!

We tried to set up our new sony blue ray to our new tv. The power to the blue ray only stays on for a minit or so. tv is fine.

very helpful explanation. Thanks a lot...

what about programming the remote to the tv

Nice Bluray/dvd player! I have a Panasonic one, with 4k upscailing for improved picture quality.

Thank you for this video it's a easy set up

I followed your steps exactly, but it wont show anything on the tv screen where it says No Signal. I set it up to my sons t.v. which was just taking out of the box today, so theres no cable hooked up to his room yet, but that shouldnt matter?? right..? I do have wifi, but it wont give me any options... The blu ray turns on, opens etc., & the t.v. inputs on hdmi2/bluray. Could it possiably be the HDMI cord im using? Thanx for the video, i know this should be fairly simple to do, so this is buming me out big time!

Mine too stuck on wired connection mode ..how to do wireless mode

I have a HDMI connection DVD player. To connect to my tv, will I be able to hear through the surround sound speakers. I also have the expensive 5 color coded plug ins. HELP

Hi Geo, I have only used my player a few times but now I only get a picture, no sound. I've checked the hdmi cable, updated the software, volume is up. Any ideas?

I'm getting a Blu-ray player and I just simply want to watch DVDs on it is there a way I could just plug in and go

...bought one @ Best Buy a few weeks ago (ca 16 Aug 2021) - mine came with a 3 (or 4) foot HDMI cable...

You're a pretty cool dude GEO. Great job with the videos.

questa televisione è una tv normale o è uno smartphone? deve essere compatibile 5G?

I have the same blu ray player but I can't connect it it won't give me the option to connect to my wi fi

Thank you for your video, it was a big help

When I choose Wireless set up, I get an error message: USB Wireless LAN adapter cannot be found. Why is that? I have a Sony BDP S3100, which has the built in wireless. Can you share what I might be doing wrong?

One Question that Coaxial cable from blu ray player could give sound to my soundbar?

Great video everything proven in time with internet you always got keep updated now vhs tapes don't stop playing at all like internet does in time when it needs updated everything proven broken vhs tape itself is fixable with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's everything proven online now days

I wanna setup a broadband connection to mine so I can access BD Live. Will it accept a broadband connection if I just use a bridge with an Ethernet cord?

Hi how I play japanese blue ray movies on the player?Also what colour do I press.Many thanks

I'm trying to set mine on wireless but it just doesn't seem to give me an option to set it on wireless it has to be on wired how can I do that

Thank you so much for the clarity!

okay so I first got it and I didn't press what I should have in the beginning for the wireless connection how do I go back to set up to that?

What do you mean purchase a different Blu-ray player?

😂😂😂 I ADVISE you and trust me I have owned both DVD 📀 and Blu Ray for years You may not want to be so quick to throw out that DVD Player and trust me how much it pissed me off that my blue ray will not accept all of my DVDS so I keep both players on my tv since we are talking Sony here 😎

I only want the player to play blu ray , dvds and music cds for I have a roku box for my apps so would I have to download the player to WiFi for it to work ?

I followed along with the video and my dvd player still isn't showing up...

how could i do a copy of cd to comp ??? thank

I did what you said it's saying physical connection established but cannot connect to external network contact your provider

Would have been nice to see how fast it loaded the disc, but you clearly edited the video... Would have liked to see the uncut version to get an idea of the load speed...

Would this work with the PlayStation 4 HDMI cable? Thanks

I have a Sony Blu-ray 3D it has wireless LAN built Bluetooth and 4K UHD upscale how do I hook it up to my element television Smart TV

Very informative! Thanks

My tv is a RCA with Hdmi 1 and 2 but does not work with my new with a new sony BDPBX370 BM2 tried both hdmi it did not work in hdmi One but when put in hdmi 2 but the picture went pink and so did the picture with a Dvd in it. So what am I doing wrong

Accidently got the old sony version of blue ray so we will have to go back and get. a different one.. this one does have netflix though hoping the Samsung will. I can't connect this one at all and it turned off my tv.

How do I download apps to mine? I'm not sure what I touched but they all have disappeared.

what's the difference between an Ethernet cable and HDMI? I got the BdP s1700 and that's what it's asking for

Thank you so much! You totally helped me! You definately get 10🌟's from me! 🖒😃👌

Cool video i watched it all ,one thing tho. You might want to go back and delete the "e" from blue it's Blu - Ray.

Does it have wify?

Sony DVD S3700 Wi-Fi works great! I am able to access included apps, like Amazon Prime and Netflix. But I am using it away from my home and want to access Spectrum/Charter cable through the Sony like I would with a Roku stick. Does anyone know if it is possible?

You hooked up an HDMI cable and then chose 'wireless'. It's stuff like this that blows my mind. Tried hooking mine up and could not get it to play, now I can't get my tv back.

Ahhh! A man after my own heart. He christened his new player with the "Bourne Identity"

Top class,😊👍

What if it fails I don't know what physical connection n internet access mean

I don't have a dvd player yet but I might need one free of charge.

Purchase a different brand television?

I cannot make my tv now tried everything, like to watch tv through the week movies on weekend, no prob with Bly ray but cannot get tv stations :(

I really want one of these Sony Blu-ray Disc players.

How do i hook this up when there is a stereo involved? all my sound goes through my speakers. thank you

do you know how I can reset my sony blue ray dvd player? I had it hooked up to a different internet provider i had and now moved and I do not get the set up screen. . How can I get that setup to appear again? thanks

Mine says this item is region free. Is that true?

4k up converting how does that work?

My problem is the ip adress, i don’t know how to settle it. Do you have a solution, please! ???

I have one but I cannot get it to work to my roku tv

How much is this?

Excellent for those of us that are technically challenged!

I put a DVD in my new Sony player then turned it on, nothing appeared TV screen. Finally, in desperation, took DVD out and unit initialized with some inputs. Now I would like to get player remote fully integrated with TV so I can toggle between Cable TV and DVD, access player menus, etc. I did not connect Wifi via ethernet, my player has only ethernet cable input. Argggh! have to deal with cable, TV and player remotes.

I have the SAME DVD player so as you know, it only has one hdmi port. My tv also only has one hdmi port that is occupied by my cable box. Do you know if I use a USB cord that has the USB plug on both sides if I can use that to connect DVD player to my tv? If I do, will I still get picture AND sound? I really don't want to have to unplug my cable box every time I want to watch a movie...

Thank you, you helped me

My tv doesn't have HDMI but my receiver does but no picture, do have audio

For some reason the dvd player didnt let me play a kids movie in spanish even though the movie does have a spanish option ... why?
