Excellent DVD with many resources.

It fails after 1,5 Year and don't play MP3

Congradullation for SONY!! After 1 year and 8 months, it had the same problem as most of everybody have, bad optical system. As the warranty was expired, I called brazilian's Sony service support and asked if this DVD had any recall and sent them this web site. They decided to exchange the optical system with no cost. I paid only labor hours ( ~US$20.00).

5.1-channel analog audio outputs; quality picture - any mode

I've used this SONY DVP-S560D for about 2 years - never ever any problem at all. I use it everyday for good 4-5 hours. It reads well old and scratched DVDs.

I found a fix online for the C 13 00 errors that I was getting. Put the player in standby mode and, using the remote, press Title then Clear then Power. A Test Mode Menu will appear. I picked the Drive Auto Adjust item from here and followed the prompts. My player now works like a charm! It used to sound lost when skipping chapters and it used to freeze up past the upper chapters.

The fact that it can't detect a disk

Collects too much dust because i can't get it to work

DO NOT BUY! C13:00 error and now "No Disk". There seems to be no way to fix this!

First dvd i bought and last SONY product i will ever buy!

None whatsoever.

Poor quality, faulty circuitry, poor design, skips chapters, does not recognize discs, will NOT play any DVD that has the SLIGHTEST imperfection (even a cat hair), noisy optics, pixelation, dropouts, slow, takes forever to read disc, cannot recognize anything but DVD, choppy audio.

This DVD player is a piece of junk. At first I was taken in by the Decoder, features and the slim design. One day after the warranty expired, I got the "C 13:00" errors and the unit refused to play ANY DVDs. I thought perhaps it was in need of cleaning so I went out and bought one of those laser lens cleaners. No effect. I took it down the street to a TV repair shop and got it repaired for around $40. The repair guy claimed told me he fixed "faulty control board / F402 fuse blown out and bad solder contacts all over the board". After that, it worked great for 2 months...then it started skipping chapters, giving me the C 13:00 errors more frequently, pixelation, dropouts, choppy audio, no audio, and the inability to recognize VCDs. 9/10 DVDs would play halfway through then freeze completely and I would have to cycle power to get it working again. I called the TV repair guy again - his advice was to not waste any more money on it and buy a non-Sony product. My player was NOT overheating as it was on a standalone shelf with ample ventalation. All my DVDs are super clean and stored/handled properly.

I finally went and bought a Toshiba 2900 - this is far superior to the Sony garbage, even without the decoder (which was useless - I got better sound from just the L/R audio connectors).

Asthetics, Features.

Short period of operation. Fails far too quickly for the always TOO HIGH PRICE that Sony consistantly charges!

This DVD player worked great at first but like the 5 other cd/dvd players from Sony that I've owned, it stopped working just after the 1 yr warrenty expired. STAY AWAY FROM SONY CD/DVD players! Thier optics and Servos are CHEAP and VERY POORLY DESIGNED! They will NOT be able to READ YOUR CD/DVD in a very short period of time! Buyer Beware!

Um, it worked for a few months.

See above, and a few hundred other reviews below.

I used this unit for about 6 months before getting the "no disc" and "c 13" errors. It will not recognize ANY dvds and frequently skips or simply stops while playing a cd. Thanks to a recent post from a reviewer at this site,I found the site of a law office handling a class action suit against Sony. I encourage everyone who has had this problem to join in!

Played well for first 6 months then slowly things started going wrong.

After 6 months started jumping to different places on the dvd in the middle of movies. Screen became garbled then would come back. Then NO DISK in the middle of my niece watching Snow White ARGHHH! Try telling a 4 Year old no Snow White!!!
