Sony BDP-BX120 Blu-ray Disc Player Tested with Remote

Compact, fast-loading Blu-ray disc player with integrated streaming and wireless connectivity.

The Sony BDP-BX120 is an entry-level Blu-ray disc player from Sony’s 2014 product generation, designed for consumers seeking reliable Blu-ray and DVD playback with convenient streaming access. The BDP-BX120 designation indicates this was a retail-exclusive model (sold through major retailers including Costco), functionally identical to the standard BDP-S1200 but often available at promotional pricing. The player delivers 1080p resolution with Precision Cinema HD upscaling technology for DVD playback, converting lower-resolution material to near-1080p fidelity. This example has been tested and is fully functional, includes the original remote (RMT-B126A), and is ready for immediate use.

The player supports BD-Live (Profile 2.0) for enhanced Blu-ray disc content when connected to a network, and includes built-in streaming access to YouTube, Hulu, and other services via the integrated internet video portal. Network connectivity is available through either wired Ethernet (LAN 100) or built-in wireless (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi). The compact footprint—measuring just 265mm wide by 199mm deep by 43mm tall—makes the BDP-BX120 ideal for modest AV setups where space is at a premium. Quick Start mode enables the player to power on from standby in under one second, while load times for Blu-ray discs are notably faster than earlier-generation players. All standard formats are supported: BD-ROM, BD-R/RE, DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-DA, and CD-ROM.

This player will no longer receive Netflix streaming support as of November 11, 2024, in accordance with Sony’s service termination for 2013-2014 Blu-ray players. However, YouTube, Hulu, and other streaming services remain functional through the integrated internet video menu. The player’s primary value lies in reliable Blu-ray and DVD disc playback rather than streaming functionality.

This Sony BDP-BX120 represents practical value for collectors maintaining Blu-ray and DVD libraries. With fast load times and reliable disc playback, it serves as a straightforward media player for a generation of film enthusiasts who value physical media stability over streaming dependence. Tested and ready to deliver reliable performance for years of home theater enjoyment.
