Introduction

Sony ES engineers are superbly educated, exceptionally well equipped and have ready access to world-leading in-house technologies. But these alone do not explain the soul of Sony's ES Series. You see, the creators of these components are motivated by their passion for music and movies. That's what drives them late into the night, seeking to control visual artifacts that most viewers will never notice. That's what takes them into the listening room, seeking to identify subtle sonic differences among various converters, capacitors and equipment interfaces. The result is an Elevated Standard in DVD/Super Audio CD/CD players. Presenting the DVP-NS9100ES and DVP-NS3100ES.

Sony co-developed the Compact Disc, Super Audio CD and DVD. Our knowledge of these formats is encyclopedic. And Sony's expertise is clearly evident in these latest players. They represent superb craftsmanship and state- of-the-art electronic design. But there's more. The two models provide stunning, upscaled High Definition images, using the HDMI interface. And the NS9100ES is Sony's first DVD player to incorporate an i.LINK® (IEEE 1394) digital output for Super Audio CD signals1.
