In early 2009 Sony released the BDP-S560 Blu-ray Player. It is a Profile 2.0 player that supports BonusView/picture-in-picture playback and BD-Live content. It has a Quick Start Mode which allows Blu-ray Discs to start within seconds. It can support high resolution audio formats and has a built-in 802.11n for a wireless internet connection. It is basically a step up from the entry level BDP-S360 Blu-ray Player.

The BDP-S560 has an attractive design with a black gloss exterior and touches of dark gray on the top and bottom of the player. The Open/Close button is located on the left at the top corner and will open up the dark blue front panel revealing the disc tray. The power button is found on the opposite side near the top corner. Other playback controls are just limited to the Play and Stop buttons. Therefore, the remote control will be needed for most playback functions. A USB port is located near the bottom right corner of the player. All other connections are on the back of the Blu-ray Player.
