Digital and analogue perfection
To enjoy all your video and audio materials, the DV9600
provides ultimate versatility with high quality video and audio
performance. Succeeding the acclaimed DV9500 it takes you one
step further into the digital revolution. With the latest video
DACs, Noise Shaped video and video up-scaling up to an
incredible 1080p it offers the ultimate video performance. The
special Marantz attention to every component in each circuitry,
the symmetrical signal paths and the top quality high speed
power supply ensure the transfer of the original emotion in both
video and audio.
Connection flexibility has been extended with HDMI 1.1 and
IEEE1394 connections for uncompressed digital data transfer.
The Marantz DV9600, a worthy successor of the DV9500 and the
embodiment of top quality convenience.
Video scaling up to 1080p
The top quality video scalar used in the DV9600 allow you to
generate an output that exactly matches the native resolution of
for example the Marantz HDTV Ready DLP projectors or flat
panel displays. It produces display-optimized video at a several
output resolutions. A video scalar combines the information in
the odd and even fields of an incoming video signal into a
combined, non-interlaced picture. Performing precision
resolution upconversion on 576i (or 480i) DVD's, the DV9600
provides output video quality approaching High Definition
standard. Outputs spanning from 480p, 720p 1080i and as a
newest feature 1080p are supported. The scaling is done within
the digital domain and therefore exclusive for the HDMI output.
High-Definition Multimedia Interfa
HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the
highest video quality from the source all the way to the display.
HDMI combines high-definition video and superb audio in a
single digital interface with a bandwidth of up to 5 Gigabits/
second. HDMI1.1 on the DV9600 complies with High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) technology protecting highvalue content from unauthorized reproduction and distribution.
Marantz gives the consumer full digitalized interconnection
from source to display and projectors with HDMI on the DVD
players, AV Receivers and on our latest generation projectors
and flat panel displays.

audio signals like AC-3 and DTS. This makes the connection of
DVD player - AV-receiver - display very comfortable and easy.
Superb video performance
The DV9600 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.
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 DV9600
provides unsurpassed progressive scanning and is optimized
for the high resolution and low noise of the DVD-Video format
for both PAL and NTSC software. While most players in the
market offer an 8-bit i/p conversion the Marantz DV9600 has a
10-bit. It assures top quality video with a 4 times higher
resolution and therefore with less interpolation and less failures
compared to any 8-bit solution.The new 10-bit I/P converter
utilizes chroma error compensation and incorporate a black
noise and a mosquito noise reducer to ensure state of the art
video performance. Chrome errors manifests themselves as
streaky or spiky horizontal lines running through the chroma
channel, most notably on diagonal edges. On the DV9600 this is
completely removed. The black level noise is noise in the black
part of the image. Blacks appear grainy due to random noise
inserted into the luminance (black and white information)
signal. Whilst this type of artifact affects all shades of grey in
the final image, it is far more noticeable in darker portions of
the image. The black noise reducer makes the blacks in the
image deep, clear and crisp. The mosquito effect is an MPEG
compression artifact. It is a blurring of the outline of sharp
objects, with inappropriately-colored pixels appearing around
the outline of the object. The commonest area in which the
mosquito effect is seen is during end credits, where insufficient
bits have been allocated to compressing the data. The mosquito
effect reducer ensure clear and razor sharp video. Progressive
Scan is provided on both the HDMI as well as on the component
output.
