Wireless-N Internet technology is the fastest and most reliable wireless system available. It delivers a convenient way of enjoying BD live functions or downloading the latest firmware updates. DLNA certified networking capability allows transfer of JPEG files from other devices even if they are not in the same room. USB port for convenient transfer of JPEG files for viewing on the TV screen. The player is backwards compatible with DVDs; by connecting via HDMI™, you can upscale them using the Precision Cinema HD Upscale technology to the best picture possible. Your DVD collection will look outstanding on your Full HD TV.
Featuring BD-Live, the new Blu-ray Disc™ player from Sony gives you access to interactive features. Connected directly to the internet, BD-Live brings you more exclusive extras like Bonus Features, News & Trailers and Games. Through the BonusView functionality a separate stream of video will play along with the movie in the form of a ‘picture-in-picture’ format and show interviews with the film’s cast and crew, storyboards and other visual content.
x.v.Color™ allows the player to display images with natural and more vivid colours similar to what the human eye actually sees in the real world. The Deep Colour technology gives you smoother images and more colour variation when connecting your player to a Deep Colour ready HD TV via HDMI™, bringing you a more colourful movie experience. With the PhotoTV HD dedicated still picture display technology, you can view your digital photos at their best on your BRAVIA TV.
The Precision Drive HD technology helps you get the most out of your Blu-ray Disc™s and DVDs, even if they are bent or scratched. Following the same award-winning design as the PLAYSTATION®3 menu, the XrossMediaBar menu system provides simple and intuitive control to give you a smooth user experience.
The Quick Start-up mode allows you to get your Blu-ray Disc™ player started after just six seconds (6 sec) - a speed unrivalled by other products available today. The BRAVIA Sync technology enables you synchronise your Blu-ray Disc™ player to BRAVIA televisions and Home Theatre systems at the touch of a button. The latest applications for the player can be updated via internet through firmware updates. By running updates, your Blu-ray Disc™ player will always deliver optimum performance.
Full HD Audio Decoding of Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding – to get sound quality so rich and powerful it’s like listening to the movie’s original sound track in the studio. 7.1 channel High Definition Surround Sound Bitstream via HDMI™ connection for an outstanding sound quality.

Again, excellent service from Amazon, my item was with me within 3 working days delivered free, can't argue with that. The player it's self is compact & stylish, a little bigger than a standard DVD player, but only a little. I decided to go for this model after reading 'What Hi Fi Sound & Vision' magazine where it received 5 stars. It's my first Blu Ray player & i'm not dissapointed, this particular model features Wi-fi, useful if you want to access the BD-live feature, or update the players software easily (i've done this already). The picture is excellent, sharp & bright. The player's menu is easy to get around if you want to change the settings. If I had one wish from Sony, it would be to include an 'Eject' button on the remote, i personally find this useful.

Bought this player 6 months ago, and followed an onscreen prompt to update the software. half way through the player froze with a sys-err prompt. The player is now as good as useless and apparently needs to be taken to a Sony service centre for repair. My nearest is 60 miles away and Sony's attitude is tough luck. This apparently is a fairly common problem so be carefull when upgarding, or consider a different player.

Sony BDPS560B Blu-ray Player with Full HD 1080p HDMI Video Output
As a BD player this product is fine; excellent picture from up-scaled DVDs, reasonably quick start up and easily navigable menus. The problem I have encountered is with the wireless function. I bought the wireless enabled model because I wanted to stream my photos from my (upstairs) PC to the (downstairs) TV but it has proved impossible to connect the player to my wireless home network (consisting of a PC running Windows Vista, a laptop running Windows XP, a Linksys WRT54G router, a printer and a Virgin cable modem). What's worse, I cannot access the internet from either computer when the BD player is switched on! Sony has tested the player and say it is working properly so they can't be of further help, and neither Virgin nor Linksys has been able to assist. It seems that paying extra for the wireless feature has been a complete waste of money.
