A First Hand Account Of The Sony BDP-S560 Blu-Ray Player

Sony has long been in the business of pleasing fans of electronics, and in this case a Blu-ray disc player, but their latest model the BDP-S560 is turning heads. In this review we will investigate what exactly makes the model so appealing and how it stacks up against the competition.

It’s no surprise that Sony would release a phenomenal Blu-ray disc player. After all, they did create the Blu-ray disc to replace the current DVD standard! Blu-ray discs are able to store more information per disc and have greatly increased the quality of sound and picture. In order to play a Blu-ray disc, consumers need a proper media player. the BDP-S560 has certainly become a great choice to fill this basic need.

Before buying any type of media player, you have to see how compatible it is with your other devices. The Sony BDP-S560, as it turns out, is one of the most compatible devices you will buy for a long time. Not only does it play the Blu-ray discs that it is popular for, it also plays DVD and CD discs flawlessly. And thanks to new video technologies, the media will actually play better on the Blu-ray player.

The interface of the Sony BDP-S560 has been highly praised by critics. While it is essentially a rehash of the PS3 interface, there is certainly nothing wrong with that! The menu can easily be navigated thanks to easy grouping of information. Even the elderly who are not well versed in technology could navigate the BDP-S560.

Sound is an integral part of the movie experience. And while so far the emphasis has been put on the video quality, don’t assume that Sony skipped out on the sound department. Sony has made an effort to support the best sound quality possible, and they have done it through supporting Dolby TrueHD standards. Sound can now sound exactly like it does in the theater- only better if you have the right speaker setup.

Ports are important for getting a device to hook up with another and share information. Sony included just about every port there is to ensure that if there is a need for the device to hook up to anything, the option to do it will be there. A rather odd port for a media player, the Ethernet port, has even been included to network your Sony BDP-S560 to other devices supporting the standard. It’s innovation like this that really puts the frosting on the cake for consumers.
