So many media types exist today that it can be daunting to find a media player that does it all. Sony sought to change that by releasing the BDP-S560 Blu-ray disc player to the public. Able to play just about any popular media, it has quickly become one of the most popular media players on the current market.

The Blu-ray disc was actually created by Sony to replace the DVD as the standard video format. The main difference is that the Blu-ray disc will be able to store up to 25 GB on a single layer disk- much more than the current DVD standard. As a result the discs support a higher quality picture of movies and video games. However, they also need a special disc player, such as the one currently being reviewed.

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.

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.

Sharing information between devices is necessary for your media player to work. What you probably haven’t thought of was how many options there really are when you think about the different devices a media player can hook up to. From your average audio and visual ports to the less common ports, the Sony BDP-S560 is able to get your media to other devices no matter what they are. The average audio and visual geek will truly be proud at this fact.
