Summary: This DVD player has a 100% Failure Rate.
Review: I bought this DVD, my sister bought this DVD, and my brother and sister in law both bought as well at the same time. After about a year and a half of use they are All NONFUNCTIONAL, displaying C 13 errors and NO DISC for all the DVD's that I try to play, some didn't even last that long. Sony should be ashamed to have produced such a poor product. I would recommend not buying any SONY product based on this experience.

Summary: do not buy sony dvd players
Review: I have direct experience with DVP-S360 and DVP-S560. Sony dvd
players are junk. Within a year I got C-13 error, followed by
"NO DISC" error for all my dvd's. Entire optical pickup unit
was replaced by the authorized dealer (he said this problem with
Sony DVD players is very common). After a year, the same problem!
This time I have to bear the repair costs ....
I'm not a fool to invest more on Sony. I'm planning to complain
to better business bureau and buy a different DVDP brand.

Review: Mark me down as one getting the infamous "No Disc" error. My player played for about 1 and a half years (just long enough for the warranty to run out), then it bombed on me. Do NOT buy this player!!

Summary: Same story...different DVD player
Review: My story is just as others have mentioned. I have always had good luck with Sony products but this one is junk. I was a little bit luckier as mine has lasted almost 2 years. The player just stopped working with the C13:00 error and now won't read a single disc. I am not going to even bother contacting Sony as others say it won't do any good. Do not buy this product!

Summary: Rubish
Review: How a company as well established as SONY, can make such a piece of crap, and then act like don't even recognize it when it breaks, is beyond me. It's a typical case of a brand name being so well known, they can make garbage, slap their name on it, and it still sells. Well, I'll never buy another thing with their name on it. Oh yeah, sorry to vent, but I got the no-disk error too. Sony said they were not aware of any such problem. Yeah, sure.

Summary: No disc/C13:00
Review: 560D: This is my first review of any product on AMZN. I had to add a comment after reading the other reviews. I AM NOT ALONE!! These errors have been a continual headache, and from what I see from the reviews, turning to Sony will be to no avail. Ah well, Sony has lost a DVD customer. I have the Wega which is a great picture so I'm not uniformly prejudiced against Sony products. And the DVD player when it has worked has been great. But the hitches have increased in frequency until lately I simply get No disc error. The reader scans back and forth for about 20 seconds until it gives up. And I'm giving up, too. I am very surprised that a lot of people have this same problem... points to a generalized issue which I hope Sony can take care of.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: Luckily we were given this DVD player as a gift. In less than 2 years we got the C13:00 disc error and now just over 2 years later we finally got the No Disc error - it won't play a single DVD or CD in our collection! I've done searches and see we are not the only ones this has happened to, and apparently Sony won't take responsibility for this problem. We are going to try a home remidy found on the internet to fix it, if not, then it's off to buy a new one - and NOT a SONY! I would give it 0 stars - if that were an option!

Summary: Sony ...
Review: I purchased the Sony DVP-S560 which is VERY similar to this model. Just after having the machine one year, which just happens to be the extent of the warranty it began having problems. It would sporatically give us a C13 or NO DISC message. Other times it played fine. At first we thought it was the disks we rented but the problem got more and more common. We cleaned disks. It even started doing this with new disk straight out of the package. I tried contacting Sony online. They made me jump through a bunch of hoops, things to try. None of it worked. I called them. After going through the thousand voice menus I finally got a real person. He told me to take it to a repair place and see if it needed cleaned. So I did. I paid for a ($$$) estimate only to find out it didn't need cleaned but needed a new part which would cost me nearly ($$$) with labor. I can buy a brand new, non-Sony, player for a little more than that and it will play MP3's, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, all of which my Sony never could do.I called Sony to see if they would make this right. I sought out the Sony name believing it to be the best available and thought maybe they would like to keep up this reputation. But nooo. My year was up, they had my money and they didn't care. And from what I see on Amazon there are several other people who have had this same problem. We have friends who had the exact same problem with their Sony DVD player as well.... Sorry but if you don't want to waste your money don't buy Sony.

Summary: WHAT A LEMON
Review: Sony really messed up with the 500 series for their DVD players. They all seem to break after 8 months or so. My player stoped reading ANY discs (even brand new, out-of-the-box discs). It would either read "NO DISC" or C13:00 ERROR. Both problems make renting or watching a DVD a serious headache. WARNING: do not buy this model. It will only make your "movie-time" bothersome.

Summary: Has Broken 4 Times
Review: Generally speaking, I love sony products... however, I have found that when they need to be repaired, they are never good for long. Case in point was my purchase of this DVD player. It broke after 3 months with a C:13 error. I took it in, and they shipped it back to me 2 weeks later. It then broke 1 1/2 months in the exact same way. I took it in, and it was fixed for 6 months before breaking in the exact same way. It was out of warranty this time, but because it had been defective so many times they fixed it. Well, you guessed it. Now it is broken again. When the machine works, it is great. But it has broken too many times for my tastes.
