Out of interest, does this problem appear for other users or could it be likely you just had a faulty unit?
I think it might just be a faulty unit. The X700 is one of the best bluray players atm. Google "best 4k player" and this is what comes up.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/best-blu-ray-play…Have had lockups with my X700 on occasion. Not frequently enough to require a return as in Shobai's case.
It appears to have reviewed well, but when I was trying to get to the bottom of the issue I came across people who'd run into the same issue across the 'net.
My X700 never locks up but rather different issue.
Mine is that if my with 4k bluray disc was turned on first then receiver next, sometime it just remain black. I had to press HOME or turning it off again.
I have the Sony but have only watched a couple of movies on it so far..but no problems yet..although i left it on pause for a long period last time and it shut down so i had to skip through scenes to get if back to where i was up to..maybe theres a way to change this but I haven’t checked yet..not a fault just annoying..
Does this upscale normal Bluray into 4K and HDR? How does this work?
If I remember correctly, there is like "output settings" that can be set AUTO1 for native signal and AUTO2 for upscaling the signal.
X-700 is now $222.40 now :O
Yeah, crazy cheap for a dolby vision player. Had to buy one.
Now excuse me while my significant other berates me for my lack of self control.
Thanks OP, got one, $231.40 delivered.
If anybody is interested, I phoned JB for a price match, they came down to $250.00, may be an option if you are close to a store or don't want to wait for postage.
I will use the $18.60 I saved to buy one get one free 4K Blu ray deal JB have going at the moment.
I can't recommend the UBP-X700. I had one, from JB HiFi, and it would more often than not lock up entirely - regardless of whether it was reading a DVD, Blu-ray, or 4k Blu-ray - and lock up to the point where it also took down the TV and AV receiver. Nothing short of a full power cycle of all pieces of equipment would restore it to working order, and often only until the player started and locked up again…
JB didn't agree there was a problem, initially, but they did refund it on my second attempt. I bought an Xbox One S instead, and have had no further issues whatsoever.
