Question: OK..So if this doesn't come with a remote control, how do you control the player?
Document: I can go on and on, but this Sony rep kept on feeding me lines.Here's the real kicker... the Sony rep tells me taht I have to have a Sony Tablet to control this player with my UHD TV. He says that the 55" and 65" UHD Tv's, you can use your standard Sony remote, but the 84" set can ONLY be controlled by a tablet.
Bought this as a bundle with my new XBR65X850A and despite what others are saying, it works great and is a plug in play device. Unlike the X900A TV, you do not have to wait around for a Sony tech to come out and configure this media player to your TV with a new board on HDMI 4. This plugs right in with an HDMI cable and actually works with the TV remote from the App screen on the TV under 4K. It brings you direct into the Sony 4K Video store.
I knew this buying it but still I cannot fully endorse it with a higher score until it is launched and I know more about the service. Sony has said they have at least 100 movies planned by the end of the year. The hard drive built in is 2TB and not sure how much is already used but it does have an USB port for an external hard drive for the future. You use your supplied Sony remote that came with your TV to interact with the player.
Proof that a 4K picture is indeed 4X that of "full HD 1080p." The 10 movies that are pre-loaded onto the media player are hardly that much better in terms of visual quality than the blu-ray versions. Kind of a bummer. The main problem I had with this device was that 2 Sony technicians had to come and service my new 4K HDTV and the Media Player.
Once the 4K movie unlimited service is launched I can really judge the player and may update my score. If you have an XBRx900a and want 4K content and don't mind waiting for more content to come than this is an excellent choice. You can wait for the PS4 if you want to get a cheaper option but understand the space that 4K content may take up on the 500GB HDD may leave you wanting more. I am sure you can upgrade the hard drive of the PS4 but factor that into the price.
I purchased my Bravia 55X in Feb 14 and the Sony Media Player in March 14. I guess the TV I bought already had the proper hardware because I didn't have to have a tech come to the house to change anything on the TV. I pulled the player out of the box, plugged it in and was immediately watching 4k content with the Video Unlimited 4K App.I thought the content looked great, but I wasn't very impressed with the selection or the price of the movies.
Do not waste your time on this product. It does not work out of the box. An appointment needs to be schedule with a "Certified Sony Tech" to come to your home to do some programming and it takes 2 weeks for them to schedule it. I just returned it. Not worth the time.
My guess is there will be a 4k disc based format next year which will lead to an all in one solution from sony (4k blu-ray, 4k unlimited store, and 4k streaming).Being in the infancy stages of 4k, there is a lot of uncertainty with where most 4k content will come from.
After doing my research I cannot fathom how Sony allowed this product to carry their name and the price tag of over $600. RIP OFF. Its obvious that smart money will wait for other boxes like the RedRay (more pricy, but functional) or the Nuvula NP-1 ($300), or others, to come to market with a product that is worth the price.
I own an 84" 4K Sony TV and the FMP-X1. I am unsure if this is the same for everyone, but Sony provided me with a Sony tablet to control the FMP-X1 via an app. I wish that there was an iOS version of the app as well, but as far as I know there is not.The positives:1. Overall the system works, I have purchased 4K content and it streams well. And looks amazing.2.
Answer: Done threw your TV since it's more of a storage device then just s player.
