To maintain the purity of the signal, Sony places the analog video circuitry on a separate board, driven by its own power supply.

Because digital noise can corrupt the DC voltage, the power supply is another potential path of interference. That's why early on, Sony recognized the advantage of giving the analog circuit block its own series power supply. This ensures power that's both abundant and clean.

Video Shield Plate (NS9100ES)

DVD players process analog audio, analog video and digital signals in close proximity, opening up the possibility of signal radiation and interference even between circuit boards. To prevent even slight traces of interference, the DVP-NS9100ES incorporates a shield underneath the analog video circuit board. This protects the analog video from radiated interference from the digital video board. It also limits the interference between analog video and the digital audio board, which is located close by.

To minimize signal interference, the DVP-NS9100ES has a shield plate fitted to the underside of the analog video circuit board.
