Sony DVP-S560D: I Am Too Old For This New Fangled Gadget

by disartain Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 15 '01
Pros: Clean Crisp picture. Has all the bells and whistles.
Cons: Instruction book seems like Alien language to me
I never seem to keep up with the times, I am always a year or three or four late. I didn't get my first Nintendo until I was 45 then I progressed up the ladder to the Play Station and the Super Nintendo along with the RPG's I love so much. I...

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Dec 27 '00
Pros: Excellent picture and sound, remote, outputs, price, features and built-in DD decoder
Cons: No zoom
The Sony DVP-S560D looks much like the Sony S360, but in addition to its features it has a built-in Dolby Digital Decoder, headphone jack with a volume control and center channel equalizer/dialogue enhancer.

As its lesser sibling...

Our Sony S560D From A Woman's Viewpoint

by parentalunit , May 15 '01
Pros: high quality images and sound with 3 playback modes in forward and reverse
Cons: a tricky remote control at times
We bought a big screen television a couple of months ago and since then my husband has become obsessed with buying new enhancements. First it was the audio system and then the DVD player. Since getting the DVD player, we have started replacing all of...

Sony DVP-S560D DVD Player -- Full Featured but Pricey

by radioguy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 19 '00
Pros: Complete Set of Outputs, Integral Dolby Digital Decoder
Cons: Few People Need an Integral Dolby Digital Decoder
The Sony DVP-S560D provides a full set of outputs, but you can get most of its features for much less the player's street price of $300.

The only thing that really sets the S560D apart from other, less expensive players is its built-in Dolby...

Hidden stuff- Is mine the only one?

by dizzygirl , Mar 15 '01
Pros: great picture clarity, possible hidden features
Cons: no CD-R music playback
Most of the technical aspects of this player have already been covered in other reviews- I will say that while I was disappointed that I couldn't listen to my burned CDs I am generally very happy with it's quality.

However, what I really...

by GustavusShaw Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 09 '00
Pros: Awsome DVD Player For $200-300 !!!
Cons: None, A Real Eye Opening Jaw Dropping Experience !
I love electronics and what they are capable of doing for us. They can make you down right lazy, however, where would we be without them in the world today. Sony has been in the business for quite some time now and have a multitude of high quality...

Fluffy the Bipolar bear.

by kung_fu_chimp , Jul 15 '01
Pros: super slim, fits in any crack of your entertainment center
Cons: eject button is a little buggy
I will begin by saying that I have so much crap in my entertainment center that I had absolutely no space to hold another gadget. After drilling holes in the walls to make the cords hook into the TV for the stereo deck and the CD changer (also a sony...

The best gift I ever got!

by babyMONKEY , Feb 28 '01
Pros: Ease of use, many features, great price
Cons: Absolutely nothing
My boyfriend bought me this Sony DVD player for my birthday in January. He knows a lot about electronics and owns a lot of Sony electronics so I trust his judgment on quality. He will not buy any other brand but Sony.

Let me start by saying...

It could be... it could be ... IT IS! HOLY COW!!

by secondmidnite , May 13 '01
Pros: Good price esp. w/ $50 rebate. Worked with my old TV.
Cons: Possibly not work for your TV.
I had been taking a back seat to getting a DVD player. It isn't that I didn't want one. But if I was going to get one, it was going to be SWEET. But if it's going to be SWEET, then you've got to be serious about it. When I finally got one, I was...

by sthiele1 , Oct 11 '01
Pros: Couldn't have been happier.. Until it broke
Cons: 1 month after the 1 year warranty... It broke
Last year I got a bunch of gift cards from Best Buy. I decided to purchase the 560 with them. I couldn't have been happier during the last year... Until... 1 year and 1 month after the purchase, the player stopped working.

One night I...

Am I Seeing Things?

by erratum , Jan 29 '01
Pros: Integrated Decoder (AC3 / DTS), Component Video
Cons: Visual Artifacts, Setup Quirks
First, let me tell you that I got this player at a _great_ price. I paid $189 for it, which is a really good price for a Sony DVD player, let alone a midrange one. Some of the features on this player make it less desirable to those that already have a...

What else would you need?

by joconnor , Oct 17 '00
Pros: Versitile, Fairly inexpensive
Cons: Reliability?
After a year's wait, I finally went to DVD with this Sony model. Epinion's reviews, and my basic compatibility needs pushed me into this particular model, and that's a good thing. Set up was simple. Having a 5.1 'ready' sony receiver and an s-video...

Great player

by Draggar , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Small size, easy to use
Cons: RCA hookup isn't the greatest
A few weeks ago, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a DVD player. This was going to be my first DVD player purchase (not including my DVD-Rom drive on my PC). I did some shopping, listened to a few friends of mine who worked retail, checked the...

Flexible Features in every Nook

by yuagogo , Dec 10 '00
Pros: Flexible
Cons: No zoom, cd-r playback
I had the experience of owning both a Sony s360p and this Sony model. The great thing about the 560p over the 360p is that it comes with built-in Dolby Digital 5.1. Don't be confused with other models that offer Dolby Digital 5.1 compatible (meaning...
