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.
For those who aren’t hip on the Blu-ray story, you might be surprised to hear that none other than Sony actually created the new format. As such, they had to create a media player that would the media. It has given the company somewhat of a monopoly over their own self-created market. And as luck would have it, movie distributors have supported the Blu-ray format completely- giving customers a wide selection of media.
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.
Remember in the olden days of DVD players, how when you tried to navigate throughout the menu you often became frustrated? Sony replaced this frustration with glee, as they have released a similar interface to their PS3 interface for use on the BDP-S560. The “Xross” display allows one to easily navigate options and menus like it is second nature.
Surround sound has been around for many years- but still yet media players don’t take full advantage of it. The Sony BDP-S560 takes surround sound much further by supporting the latest in Dolby sound. The Dolby TrueHD standard has been implemented, so that anyone with the right speaker setup can be impressed by the sound quality and realism. At some points you may even attest it is better than a theater experience.
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.
In Conclusion
You really can’t go wrong in purchasing the Sony BDP-S560 disc player. It does a lot of work to ensure consumers can do anything they like, whether ordinary or not so common. Look for them in stores to compare and shop.
