Digital and analogue perfection
To enjoy all of the video and audio materials, the DV9500
provides ultimate versatility with high quality video and audio
performance. It plays SACD, DVD-Audio, and DVD-Video with
Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound in either 2 channel or
multi channel formats. It also plays DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW
and is even compatible with MP3 formats. For the ultimate in
video performance the DV9500 features the latest 216MHz/14­bit video DAC and Analog Devices´ NSV Precision Video. For
both PAL and NTSC source material progressive scan is
available ensuring higher resolution pictures. This is the player
that embodies high quality convenience.

Premiere featuring on a DVD player: DTS 96/24 and Dolby
Headphone
Dolby Headphone technology allows users to listen to music,
watch movies, or play video games with the dramatic surround
effects of a 5.1-channel soundtrack through any set of
headphones. Best of all, "listener fatigue," a phenomenon
commonly associated with headphone playback, is replaced by
a spacious, natural sound field that listeners can enjoy for
hours. DTS 96/24 allows for 5.1 channel sound track encoding
at a rate of 96kHz/24 bits on DVD-Video titles. Higher sampling
rates provide greater bit depth and allow a wider frequency
response. In conjunction with the use of anti-alias and
reconstruction filters DTS 94/24 results in a more transparent
sound quality equivalent to the original soundtrack and is fully
backwards compatible at the same time. Until the DV9500,
Dolby Headphone and DTS-96/24 has only been featured on
select PC and A/V receiver applications.

A true multi format player
Enjoy the fabulous world of stereo and multi channel audio!
The DV9500 provides ultimate versatility with high quality
video and audio performance from virtually any 12cm disc.
Finally you can enjoy an incredible live-experience in your
home as it was in reality. Not only the total ambiance is
reproduced, but also the natural 'sound' of the instruments is
being preserved. The DV9500 plays among others SACD, DVD­Audio, DVD-Video and of course CD DA discs. SACD is based
upon the DSD conversion principle that links excellent
specifications like a frequency range of 100 kHz and a dynamic
range of 120 dB, to superb sound quality. It adds essential
resolution and detail to the Multi channel audio setup,
necessary for accurate correlation between front and rear
channels. This combination of top-end audio performance and
Multi-channel sound will give you a sensation that will totally
change the way you experience music. DVD-Audio is one of the
latest format of high standard audio.

Marantz HDAMs on all 6 channels
Audio devices are usually equipped with Op-Amps
(operational amplifiers) for which Integrated Circuit (IC) are
commonly used. Unfortunately these IC's do not match the very
high requirements of Marantz. Marantz developed it's own
discrete circuit boards to replace the IC's. These HDAM's
consists of discrete surface mount components with short
mirror image L/R signal paths. Those devices are doing exactly
the same thing as the Op-Amps, but outperform the regular IC
Op-amps dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate, resulting in a
much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound.

Superb video performance
The DV9500 uses the latest and most advanced 216MHz/14-bit
video digital/analog converters and Analog Devices´ Noise
Shaped Video (NSV) for very high-quality picture
reproduction. As a continuation of Analog Devices´
development of enhanced picture quality, in a wide variety of
applications and for many different video standards, the
technology of Noise Shaped Video has been developed. This
technology allows video images to be displayed at resolutions
and lower effective signal to noise ratios well beyond what
would be expected from the data converter by making use of
the latest technological advances. The improvement takes place
in parallel with the increased support to higher definition
video standards including HDTV and progressive scan. The
DV9500 provides unsurpassed progressive scanning for both
NTSC as well as PAL material. Compared to a conventional
interlaced picture, progressive scanning creates a picture signal
with double the scan lines, resulting in a noticeably sharper
image. The progressive image offers higher picture resolution
and eliminates virtually all motion artifacts. Even on large
screens, the progressive scan lines are barely noticeable and
picture flickering is greatly reduced, so you can enjoy
extended viewing without eye fatigue. The progressive
conversion of the DV9500 is optimized for the high resolution
and low noise of the DVD-Video format for both PAL and NTSC
software. This enables the unit to preserve DVD-Video picture
quality for display on all screen sizes from direct-view CRT to
projectors. Progressive Scan is provided on both the HDMI as
well as on the component output.
