Description

Not all DVD players are created equal, as the DVP-S9000 ES from Sony amply demonstrates. The high-end unit comes equipped with progressive scan, which provides roughly twice the scan rate (480p) than traditional DVD players, making film images appear more intensely lifelike when seen on a HD-compatible TV. In addition, the player employs motion-adaptive block noise reduction, which reduces the likelihood of data blocks appearing on the screen, while also addressing motion artifacts with its field noise reduction. Users are invited to fine-tune the images via the digital video equalization settings--which adjust for brightness, contrast, hue, sharpness, gamma, and chroma delay--and then save and restore the custom settings for up to 300 discs.

Another bonus of the DVP-S9000 ES is that it plays not only CDs and DVDs, but also Super Audio CDs, which offer a much higher audio frequency response and make music sound more lifelike and vivid to the human ear. Other audio features include Dolby Digital and DTS outputs for 5.1-channel surround sound when connected to a receiver with surround decoding, the enhanced audio amplification of Digital Cinema Sound, and virtual surround for users with a two-speaker setup. The DVP-S9000 ES also includes such playback functions as a jog shuttle dial that lets users flip through CD or DVD tracks, chapter preview, SmoothScan and SmoothSlow modes, and multi-angle playback.

The DVD player also includes a parental lock feature that prevents children from viewing mature-content material, along with CD and DVD Text modes, which display artists, titles, and even jacket covers on the TV screen. The DVD-S9000 ES includes all the standard audio and video outputs, including component video, two S-video, and two composite video outputs, along with coaxial and optical digital outputs.
