More than a labor of technology, the DVP-S9000ES 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.

•Low Distortion Film Capacitors. While electrolytic capacitors are suitable to power supply filtering, film capacitors are especially proficient for sound and picture. Many of these low-distortion capacitors contribute to the Many of these low-distortion capacitors contribute to the outstanding performance of the DVP-S9000ES.

•Oversized 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 audio and video.

•Output Signal Relay. To simplify connections to your television, the DVP-S9000ES uses a common set of component video terminals for both progressive and interlaced output. Naturally, this requires output switching. While common designs use semiconductor switches, Sony employs a high- quality mechanical relay. It’s a more expensive design that delivers more positive connections, lower resistance and lower noise across the switch. Progressive and interlaced output can be selected via on-screen menus or via back panel switch.

Sony engineers even anticipated the videophile-grade output cables likely to be used with the DVP-S9000ES. For this reason, the engineers deliberately spaced the Y/CB/CR output jacks further apart than common practice, the better to accommodate extra-fat cables and plugs!
