Product Reviews
 (1 stars) - Sony BDP-S560 Review
I purchased this wireless WiFi unit so that I could stream my Photos and Movies that I have stored on my PC's to the TV via the Blu-Ray. I tried several times to set up the Blu-Ray to accomplish this but was unsuccessful. I contacted tech support and they informed me that, even though the literature on the BDP-S560 says it will do this, this model will not stream from a PC to the Blu-Ray. I was disappointed to say the least. I returned the Sony BDP-S560 to Amazon where I purchased it.
Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to play a Blue-Ray disk on it. I did watch a standard DVD and the picture and sound were fine.
 (5 stars) - Greatest Ever Of 5 or 6 DVD Players In My Life
I love everything about this Sony BDP-S560 Blu Ray disc player. My previous DVD player, also a Sony, could not be made to connect to my DSL service either by Sony of Verizon. This time, although Sony could not figure it out, Verizon was able to get it to connect wirelessly to my wireless router and it updates flawlessly. The picture and sound quality from DVD's and Blu Ray discs is breathtaking. A great unit.
 (2 stars) - Quirky features
I was expecting more from Sony - setup was simple enough but i found the player harder to use than earlier Sony DVD models -maybe this is just the price of BlueRay technology. If you only want to play a disk, ok the picture quality was fine. But functions like fast forward were unusable for DVDs, normally fast forward shows the action speeded up, but here there was a pause and a sequence of jerky jumps ahead without any continuity of motion - you couldn't even tell how fast you were forwarding, one second, two seconds, per jump.... Slow motion was similarly problematic. The startup screen was confusing even to someone who has used a half dozen dvd players and recorders in the past. I was hoping for the player to be just like a DVD player that could also play BlueRay disks.
 (4 stars) - Works well
I am happy with this Sony BDP-S560 Blu-ray player. I have only had this player for a short time and have only watched a few DVDs but the Dark Night video is amazing, (it was filmed with I-Max cameras). It does seem like the recent newer movies in Blu-ray have a better HD picture quality than the older movies converted to HD Blu-ray. I didn't realize that if you are already receivig 1080i or 1080p over the air, Satellite, or via cable, it dosen't get any better than that. Blu-ray HD is 1080p. This player performs well and has plenty of great reviews by others. The built-in menus are very nicly layed out. I have not tried the on-line BD-Live feature yet but the Wi-Fi connection to my home wireless network came up and connected automatically and very easily. The DVD Upscaling of existing standard DVDs did not make them look any better in my opinion on the couple that I viewed. The picture quality appeared to hot or over-driven, this could possibly be improved by adjusting the DVD player settings and/or HDTV picture settings for an improvement in picture quality while playing standard DVDs. I cannot speak on the sound quality as I am not utilizing a full surround sound system with my Samsung 52" LCD, 850, Touch-of-color HDTV,(exelcent HDTV). I would recommend this Blu-ray DVD player to anyone, I am happy with it.
(4 stars) - Excellant picture. Latest firmware update sped up mechanics.
I have been using the Sony BDP-560 for a month now, and with the latest firmware, it is more responsive than it had been, which moved it up a star for my rating. It does what it should do well, especially decoding the latest Dolby and DTS offerings.
I have owned two Oppo units, and they are, in my opinion, the best value in DVD / Blu ray players, but I just couldn't afford one this time.
The Sony is a solid player, and any player you consider should have wi-fi connectivity, unless it is simple to run a network cable, and you have a free port.
Sony has now released the BDP-460, which seems to be a 560 at a lower price.
