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.
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.
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.
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.
Final Thoughts
The Sony BDP-S560 Blu-Ray disc player has certainly set the bar for how media is played in the home entertainment industry. Look on the Internet to see how you can get your own for an inexpensive price today.
