I also have the 563. Though some criticize the unit's picture quality and bass management, to me movies look good and DVD-A and SACD playback sounds awesome. In fact, right now I am listening to the "In Absentia" DVD-A by Porcupine Tree. If you like Radiohead, Pink Floyd, or other similar bands you need to listen to Porcupine tree. They're the best band I know of that nobody's heard of.
That said, I think the 563 is a no brainer for the price. There simply are not that many universal players on the market, and most of them are $600+. I plan to keep it until something better comes out at a reasonable price point. That doesn't keep me from jonesing for a Denon 2900, however.
