Sony BDP-S560 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Reviewed by Clement Singarajah (Phoenix, AZ)
Satisfied Rating (8/10)
Mild, but as usual, we Mac users get the short end of the stick. E 'was difficult to establish an Internet connection through my AirPort Extreme network and typing is terrible. Nintendo Wii was much easier to configure. However, it seems to connect to my wireless network that uses WPA2 encryption, etc. Remember, for an inexperienced user of the network, this can be a little 'complicated. I had to use the wireless and Manuel created path. The guide is not very useful in this context (for Mac users, anyway)
Otherwise, good picture and sound so far.
I'm waiting to try the new feature BD Live.
My old Pioneer Elite AV receiver with Dolby 5.1 surround sound and works well.
Nice aesthetics on the outside, so light compared to the BDP S550 which I have as well.
Netflix would be better if it was compatible or Apple TV, but I have other devices (Roku), who can do those functions.

| Review by Dave (California) 2010-06-22 Bought one of these units. Works fine as a Blu-ray player. However, I was excited about the DLNA support - and was hoping it was similar to the support Sony builds into their PS3 units. However, although the interface and functionality is similar to the PS3 (albeit "cheaper" looking), the BDP-BX37 does not .support the formats the PS3 does (or even... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Robert D. Keller (Acworth, Ga. USA) 2010-07-08 I was looking at the Oppo BD-83 for a while. I waited, because I don't think paying 500.00 for a Blu-Ray player was worth it. I knew the Sony 1000ES was 700.00. So, I still was hesitant. I wanted a player that did what a player is suppose to do, just play discs, with GREAT picture and Audio. Bells and whistles belong on Cell Phones, even though thi... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by E. Haley (CA) 2010-06-17 This player does not stream Netflix or Amazon on demand. Unless you really need wireless (although i can't see the point with this player if you cant stream any internet content), I'd suggest a cheaper DVD player. Or skip the DVD player all together and buy a ROKU...which is what i ended up doing after 3 failed attempts at buying one that played ... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by xLEO (Arvada, Colorado United States) 2010-07-16 This was our first Blu-ray player and I have been very impressed with the unit. The wireless connectivity was very easy to setup and has worked very well with Netflix for streaming titles and accessing other online content.

| Review by Doug Pardee (USA) 2010-07-20 I have a Sony large-screen TV that's pretty darned good. A Sony home theater system-in-a-box that's okay. But the BDP-S570 doesn't work. I've spent a month, a lot of time on the phone with Sony, and extra money for networking equipment; I've replaced the unit I had for another, and it's still DOA. I've returned the replacement unit for a refund, an... Read more reviews | ||
