A 4K Blu-ray player built for custom installations

Sony created their ES-series UBP-X1000ES Ultra HD Blu-ray player with custom installers in mind. So what makes this 4K player better suited for "advanced" home theater setups? For starters, the sturdy frame-and-beam chassis combines with a honeycomb-like top plate to significantly lower vibration.

Also, industrial-strength electrical shielding separates the video and audio circuitry for pure picture and sound. And of course, this player is designed to make Ultra HD Blu-ray discs look their best on your 4K Ultra HD TV.  

The Sony ES UBP-X1000ES 4K Blu-ray player features off-set insulator feet that greatly reduce vibration.

High Dynamic Range gives you the richest picture yet

4K Blu-ray discs with High Dynamic Range (HDR) offer the best picture available today. And this ES-series player is ready for them. On compatible Ultra HD TVs (including these from Sony), you'll get deeply detailed picture contrast. We're talking the darkest and brightest content side by side in the same image. 

And if your 4K TV doesn't have HDR? Good news. The UBP-X1000ES uses special "HDR-to-SDR" picture processing to ensure that movies with HDR still pop on a non-HDR screen. 

Sound that pulls you into the action

The UBP-X1000ES plays nicely with the best home theater receivers, too. All the top movie sound formats are supported. You can send three-dimensional audio formats like Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X to a compatible receiver via HDMI. You'll get an engaging sound experience that's worthy of the super-crisp images you'll see on your screen. 

The sturdy disc drive keeps discs spinning efficiently.

A true high-res music player, too 

A high-grade internal digital-to-analog converter ensures all your music sounds clear and detailed. The USB port accepts thumb drives you load with music files — even lossless and uncompressed formats, including high-resolution DSD. Plus, when you connect the player to your network via Wi-Fi, it becomes the gateway to a whole-home audio system.

Dual-band Wi-Fi means smooth 4K video streaming...

The UBP-X1000ES offers a decent variety of streaming video services, including 4K streaming options. (Yep, that means you can watch Netflix in 4K!) Dual-band Wi-Fi gives you the strong connection needed to stream 4K wirelessly. (Keep in mind, we recommend having an internet speed of 20Mbps or faster for 4K streaming.) 

...and multi-room music, too

Along with all the streaming video goodness, this player also turns your connected home theater speakers into a wireless music hub. Download Sony's free SongPAL™ app, and control the player from your iOS® or Android™ device. The app gives you wireless access to the music stored on your phone or a DLNA-connected server, plus streaming services like Spotify® Connect.

You can also control other compatible Sony speakers and components — all from the same SongPAL app. Listen to different songs in each room, or the same thing throughout the house. You can even stream movie soundtracks or music from the UBP-X1000ES to other rooms.

Beam sound to headphones wirelessly via Bluetooth

Do you ever watch movies or shows late at night? Built-in Bluetooth can transmit the sound from this player to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. You can catch all the dialogue and hear all the loud, exciting sound effects without waking everyone up.
