Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

See what all the Blu-ray fuss is about with the Sony BDP-S560. This player produces outstanding picture and sound that take home theatre excitement to a new level. Plus, it's Sony's first player to include built-in Wi-Fi, for wireless access to BD-Live bonus material. It also plays DVDs, and employs Sony's advanced Precision Cinema HD processing that upconverts DVD video to breathe new life into your old favourites.

Wireless access to BD-Live and your digital photo albums
If you have a wireless network, you can take advantage of the 'S560's built-in Wi-Fi capability to access BD-Live bonus material without running Ethernet cable. BD-Live lets you use your broadband Internet connection to access additional features found on some Blu-ray movies, such as online games, chat, and downloadable movie trailers. Just plug a thumb drive into the player's USB port to save downloaded material. In addition to accessing BD-Live, you can also stream digital photos wirelessly from your PC, and display them on your HDTV's big, beautiful screen.

Surround sound that pulls you into the action like never before
When you connect the BDP-S560 to your home theatre receiver via HDMI, you can enjoy master-quality surround sound from Blu-ray movies with Dolby® TrueHD or DTS-HD™ Master Audio soundtracks. Compared to DVD, you'll hear fuller sound with greater clarity and dynamics. You can also pop in a CD to enjoy your favourite music, whether it's a regular CD, a home-burned disc, or one filled with MP3 files.

Finally an easy to update blu-ray player April-26-10
Reviewer: Sharon from St. Augustine, FL  
This is my second try at a blu-ray.  The first was a huge challenge to up date and then just stopped working on most BD disks after a year.

This one updates wirelessly. I connected to the internet with no problems and was on my way.

I just got another brand new disk yesterday and it played flawlessly!  

So far so good!!!!!

Reviewer: Anonymous person from Beaumont, TX  
This is my first stand alone Blu-Ray player. I have no complaints. It's extremely light. I only gave it 4 stars because I really don't have anything to compare it to.


 
Beautiful HD movies August-22-09
Reviewer: Laurie from Columbus, OH  
Sony  BDP -S560 is an excellent match for my Sony Bravia 1080p television.  Picture quality is beautiful, sharp, sound is excellent.  Blu ray discs load quickly; remote is easy to use with the player.  I don't mind the lack of open/close function on the remote - I'm walking around anyway, before I start watching, so I simply walk over to the player, open the drawer, & put the disc in.  Originally thought I would like to download movies from Netflix, which you can't do with this player.  Don't really mind now - the quality of movies playing outweighs the ability to download directly from Netflix.  I had great difficulty connecting wirelessly; support was not helpful - I have Apple computers & an Apple router - neither Sony nor Apple support were able to help.  Utlimately, Crutchfield provided the most support by recommending I connect wired, which solved the problem.


 
Great machine August-13-09
Reviewer: John from Bronx, ny  
This unit replaces a Samsung that was nothing but headaches. The Sony has fast loading time, beautiful picture and audio. Set-up menu was a breeze. I had problems setting up the wireless connection but that had more to do with my old router and modem. I installed a Linksys WRT610N and am able connect to BD Live and do network upgrades easily. The only complaint: no open/close button on remote. Not really needed due to rapid access to drawer via button on the machine.
