Supported Sony media players
Couch Amp speaks both generations of Sony’s media-player control API:
- Modern — IP control API: every network-controllable Sony player since 2010 — the UBP-X 4K UHD line, BDP-S Blu-ray players, BDV home theater systems, and the SMP network media players. The roster below follows Sony’s own compatible-device list for its remote apps; if Sony’s app could drive it, so can Couch Amp.
- Classic — Network Control Protocol (the RS-232-era binary protocol over TCP, port 6001): the 2009 ES custom-install changer — the same External Control family Couch Amp already speaks to classic ES receivers.
Verified means tested against real hardware; supported means the model shares the same protocol family and is expected to work identically.

Retail-channel twins (the BDP-BX series sold at warehouse clubs) are the same players in different boxes — a BDP-BX620 is a BDP-S6700 — and share the same support.
Blu-ray home theater systems
The BDV line is the same player firmware with an amp and speakers attached, so the same control API applies. Grouped by generation; WL/SH suffixes and region variants are the same system in different speaker trims.

The tables run US model numbers; international variants share the same firmware and control API. On the earliest generations (2010–2011), enable the player’s remote-device registration setting first. The genuinely unsupported ones are players with no network jack at all, RS-232-only models like the BDP-S5000ES and the DVP-CX777ES DVD changer, and the wired entry models Sony left off its own compatibility list (BDP-S1700, S1500, S1200, S1100).
