High-end DVD A/V Player with 14-bit, 108 MHz Video D/A Converter and PureProgressiveTM CircuitN E W M O D E L I N F O R M A T I O NDVD-9000DVD Audio/Video Playern Thorough Vibration-resistant DesignSince the high-density data recorded on DVD must be read with absoluteaccuracy, vibrations from outside or from internal sources, such as the powersupply, will adversely affect sound and picture quality. A variety of designshave been incorporated in the DVD-9000 to suppress these unwanted vibrations.The bottom plate forming the foundation of the chassis is a 6-mm thick, 4-layerhybrid construction made up of a 1.2-mm thick copper-plated metal sheetand three layers of 1.6-mm metal sheets. Large insulators of sintered alloy(the same type used in Denon's high-end S1 series) have been used for theDVD-9000's feet to absorb external vibrations. Reinforcing plates for thebase, front, and rear are composed of four 1.2-mm thick copper-platedsheets, that have been utilized in a 3-box construction design to strengthenthe chassis. The chassis also uses copper plating to bring the ground electricpotential of the overall chassis close to equipotential in order to suppresselectrical noise. The top cover uses three types of 1.2-mm thick metal sheetsin different shapes, while 2.5-mm thick aluminum panels have been used forthe sides, giving rigidity to the entire chassis. The DVD mechanism is mountedon a cast-aluminum base between the mechanism and the chassis. Partsmade of different materials effectively absorb vibrations caused by the unititself as well as from outside to ensure stable operation.n THX Ultra CertifiedThe THX Ultra cerification standards are comprised of tests in three categories;Audio Quality, Video Quality and User Interface. These tests ensure that theDVD Player is fully capable of bringing out the best visual and sonic qualityof your favorite DVD programs.n Newly-Developed Loading Mechanism for Suppression of VibrationsThe newly-developed loading mechanism uses a guide and tray painted withprotein material that is highly resistant to vibrations in order to preventunwanted vibrations to the tray.n New PureProgressiveTM CircuitThe DVD-9000's interlace to progressive converter is the new SiI504Converter with PureProgressiveTM circuitry from Silicon Image. The SiI504features faster moving picture detection and improved film/video moderecognition capability.High-speed processing: This Sil504 Progressive Converter is capable ofprocessing 6 billion operations per second, providing the finest in motion-adaptive de-interlacing.Moving picture detection: PureProgressiveTM features 2:3 pulldowndetection, which converts 24-fps Film based material to 60-fps TV/Videoplayback, while also detecting Video based material, animation and graphics.PureProgressiveTM is capable of reproducing DVD-Video discs containingboth Film and Video material, as well as high picture quality progressivevideo sources, while avoiding the flickering caused by detection delays ofthese different formats. In processing moving video signals, a conventionalprogressive converter performs detection on a full frame-by-frame basis,while PureProgressiveTM stores 4 fields of video signals in a 64-Mbit SDRAMbuffer, enabling the detection and processing on a pixel-by-pixel basis toachieve greater precision in discriminating between moving and still pictures.Improved 2:3 pulldown detection: There are cases in which 2:3 pulldowndata signals on DVD-Video discs are not in sync. The PureProgressiveTMconverter will quickly detect the non-sequential points and perform appropriatecorrective measures at high speed to minimize picture flickering.It is now also possible to select Level Detection or Flag Detection as thedetection method used for Film and Video material. If an incorrect flag wasrecorded or the difference between the video level and noise level is verysmall and distinctions on the disc are difficult to detect, this selection ensuresoptimum detection capability and minimizes picture quality degradation.n 14-bit, 108-MHz Video D/A ConverterThe DVD-9000 uses a total of six 14-bit, 108-MHz video D/A converters totap the maximum potential of the new PureProgressiveTM circuit's performance.The DVD-9000 uses independent D/A converters for Progressive andInterlaced picture reproduction.These converters provide a very high sampling frequency of 108 MHz, with4x oversampling used for Progressive and 8x oversampling for Interlacedoperation, resulting in the highest detailed D/A conversion. Since a filter withample cutoff characteristics can also be used for the analog low-pass filter,the DVD-9000 reproduces the delicate nuances of video signals, allowingviewers to enjoy the original picture at the highest level of realism.Denon engineers have pulled out all the stops in its development of the DVD-9000 to ensure that this DVD player reproducessound and pictures at the highest possible level of quality. The DVD-9000 is packed with PureProgressiveTM circuitry for superiorInterlaced-to-Progressive video conversion; six 14-bit, 108-MHz video D/A converters, Noise Shaped Video and a Super SubAlias Filter. For high-quality audio output, the DVD-9000 sports AL24 Processing Plus supporting a sampling frequency of 192-kHz;24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A converters and other state-of-the-art audio technologies to extract the maximum potential of DVD-Audio. Along with Denon's critically acclaimed circuit design and chassis construction, the DVD-9000 is a truly remarkable newflagship DVD player from Denon.
