A product demonstration video from IFA 2009, showing off the capabilities of the new wireless Blu-ray player from Sony, the BDP-S760. The BDP-S760 is fully Wi-Fi®-enabled using Wireless-N, the fastest and most reliable wireless system. It is also Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) enabled, which means that by pressing a single button on the WPS enabled router a secure connection from your player to the wireless network is established. The wireless capability of the BDP-S760 also means it’s even easier for you to run firmware updates for your player via the Internet and to experience the exciting possibilities offered by BD-Live™. More and more titles are utilising BD-Live™, allowing you to enjoy bonus content such as additional scenes, trailers and movie-based games. The BDP-S760 is DLNA™ certified, allowing the transfer of JPG files from other DLNA™ enabled devices, such as your VAIO PC, even if theyre not in the same room.

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.
