What a great blu ray player!
Previous to this I had the sony 360 which had slow loading times, bad designed remote and shocking playback quality of dvd & blu rays. I felt that perhaps I was buying for what I got (£120) and getting just a basic player. I was expecting more from Sony.
So I sold it as quick as I could and I thought I'd give the new LG BD560 a go as my tv is LG and still within my budget.
I was set up and ready to go within a few short minutes...Fantastic!
Beautifully set out home menu giving you options to playback movies,cds, and photos via disc or usb (front loading!!) and youtube access. All carefully thought out, for example if you are connected to internet playing a music cd will bring up the album cover and tracklist and the youtube playback has a choice of screen size depending on the quality of the online video. - Can't wait for youtube to go HD!
The firmware updates came up quickly and once installed, I continued my playtime!
Loading times for BR are much quicker than before and the remote is well thought out and presented well.
Has HDMI 1.3, Component and coaxial (and 2ch audio, 1 video) as outputs.
As my tv is LG it also recognises the channel and also the remote will operate the tv, so I'm not tripping over remotes.
The two negatives, Firstly, and this is becacuse the model is so new (I think),it doesn't playback Toy Story, so waiting for a firmware update! In the meantime I'm playing the dvd upscaled. Everything else I've played works fine. The second negative is I think the disc loading tray is flimsy, so don't let your kids use it!
So to sum it up I'd say it's a blu ray player that tries to do so much more so seperate itself in the market and it really does succeed. A great entertainment hub. 4.5 / 5 stars

The LG DB560 is a great Blu Ray player that does it all except for bringing you the popcorn and snacks, that....you will have to do yourself (",)
If you play one of your DVD's that has had some TLC with the quality of transfer and is anamorphic then this player will up scale to 1080p if the LCD supports it and the picture from DVD is nothing short of AWESOME! so if like me you have already built up a very large collection of DVD's then be rest assured you won't feel the need to replace them in a hurry like you would VHS to DVD ;-)
BUT it does show up shoddy put together DVD's
As a Blu Ray player it does what it is supposed to do and plays Blu Ray really well so is as expected.
Plays files from USB that can be formatted to NTFS and Hard Drive.
Pros
Quality from DVD playback is AWESOME!
Plays from USB and Hard Drive
Picture from Blu Ray is what you expect it to be
Cons
None at all

Bought the blu-ray machine as a christmas present to ourselves as we have Sky HD and found we were no longer watching any of our DVD's due to the picture quaity being poorer than Sky. The machine is quite simply stunning! Wealready had a LG tele, and connected up, and the blu-ray player set itself up, syncing with it. We have only used it to watch Blu-ray discs and DVD's to date, but the clarity on the former is fantastic, and on our DVD's have improved the picture quality to that of Sky HD. The machine is quiet in operation (bit of whirring etc on start up) and I am delighted with the purchase.
