Sony BDP-S560

The Sony BDP-S560 not only delivers terrific high-definition images, but also excels at upconverting DVDs, too. And it does so in a Wi-Fi enabled model. But this model ($300, as of December 14, 2009) lacks the streaming media extras that competing Blu-ray Disc players offer. The BDP-S560 was most impressive in our black-and-white Good Night and Good Luck test. Even water glasses sitting on a banquet table popped with clarity and brilliance. It did almost as well in color movies, with a nice feel of dimensionality in the Mission: Impossible III test. Only in the animated Cars did it disappoint, where a sense of flatness earned it a rating of only Good. The player earned ratings of Very Goods down the line in our two DVD tests. In the Return of the King test, the colors looked less saturated than those from the reference Sony PlayStation 3 player, but more pleasing and realistic. You get more than BD-Live when you plug the BDP-S560 into your home network. If you have a computer that runs DLNA server software (including Windows Media Player 11) on your network, this player will recognize it and display the photos from that PC. It can also display photos from a USB drive, but it can't play music or video over a network or USB.

Product Survey: Blu-ray Players

Despite the fact that the BDP-S560 represents an obvious competitor for Sony's very own PS3, the new player provoked something of a storm in the otherwise calm world of HD video a few months ago when it was launched as it sets the bar very high. On sale for around £250, this is one of the most feature-rich Blu-ray players currently available thanks to its combination of both WiFi and DLNA compatible network connectivity, both of which we'll take a closer a look it in the test. The S560 follows in the footsteps of its younger brothers, the and S360, and so we're pleased to find that it's only 7 cm high and 21 cm deep. That's nice and compact, but the downside is that it's too small to put an amp or another device on top. Almost all of the front panel folds out when a rather plastic drawer slides out. The display is clear, but reasonably small, and the whole things is reasonably well-finished. This player can read CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, for which it offers Profile 2.0 compatibility, a recent innovation giving it access to BD-Live content. It has an Ethernet port for connecting to the Internet, but that's not all: the S560 also has a WiFi wireless network connection (802.11a, b, g and n) which allows it to join your home network without being plugged into a router.
