Carefully selected parts (NS9100ES)

More than a labor of technology, the DVP-NS9100ES represents the enthusiasm that Sony® engineers share with high-end videophiles. That's why the player incorporates a variety of carefully selected resistors, inductors, semiconductors and capacitors. Each plays a specific role in maximizing video performance.

ƒLow Distortion Film Capacitors. While electrolytic capacitors are suited to power supply filtering, film capacitors are especially proficient for sound and picture. Many of these low-distortion capacitors contribute to the outstanding performance of the DVP-NS9100ES.

ƒOversized output resistors. Output resistors determine the impedance of the analog output circuits. Most designers avoid large resistors. But Sony incorporates large resistors of uncommonly tight tolerances. This contributes to the high slew rates required for wideband video.

Wide pitch component output jacks

Sony engineers even anticipated the high-grade output cables that videophiles are likely to plug into the ES Series DVD players. For this reason, Sony deliberately spaced the Y/PB/PR output jacks further apart than common practice, the better to accommodate heavy-gauge cables and plugs!

The spacing or "pitch" between the component video output jacks is wider than usual, to accommodate heavy-gauge cables and plugs.
