Thorough Vibration-resistant Designs
Since the high-density data recorded on DVD must be read with absolute
accuracy, vibrations from outside or from internal sources such as the
power unit will adversely affect sound and picture quality. A variety of
designs have 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-layer hybrid construction made up of a 1.2-
mm thick copper-plated metal sheet and 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 the DVD-9000's feet to absorb
external vibrations. Reinforcing plates for the base, front, and rear and
four 1.2-mm thick copper-plated sheets have been used in a 3-box
construction to strengthen the chassis. The chassis also uses copper
plating to bring the ground electric potential of the overall chassis close to
equipotential in order to suppress electrical noise. The top cover uses
three types of 1.2-mm thick metal sheets in different shapes, while 2.5-
mm thick aluminum panels have been used for the sides, giving rigidity to
the entire chassis. The DVD mechanism is mounted on a cast-aluminum
base between the mechanism and the chassis. Parts made of different
materials effectively absorb vibrations caused by the unit itself as well as
from outside to ensure stable operation.

THX Ultra Certified
The THX Ultra standards comprise three basic categories of tests;
Audio Quality, Video Quality and User Interface. These tests ensure that
the DVD Player is fully capable of bring out the best visual and sonic
quality of your favorite DVD programs.
The DVD-9000 has passed those stringent standards.

Newly-Developed Loading Mechanism for Suppression of
Vibrations
The newly-developed mechanism unit uses a guide and tray painted
with protein material that is highly resistant to vibrations in order to
prevent unwanted vibrations to the tray.

New PureProgressive Circuit
The DVD-9000's interlace/progressive converter is the new Progressive
Converter with PureProgressive circuitry from Silicon Image. The
Progressive Converter features faster moving picture detection and
improved mode recognition capability.
High-speed processing: This Progressive Converter is capable of
processing 6 billion operations per second, giving reality to the following
high performance.
Moving picture detection: Since PureProgressive is also adept at
2:3 pulldown detection, which converts Film recording mode to TV/Video
playback mode, and detecting Video mode signals of DVD-Video and
other moving picture formats, PureProgressive is capable of reproducing
DVD-Video discs containing both Film mode and Video mode signals, as
well as high picture quality Progressive video sources, while avoiding the
flickering caused by detection delays. In detecting moving video signals,
the conventional Progressive method performs detection in single frame
units, while PureProgressive stores 4 fields of video signals in a 64-Mbit
SDRAM buffer, enabling the detection of single-pixel units to achieve
greater precision in discriminating between moving and still pictures.
2:3 pulldown detection: In 2:3 pulldown processing which converts
24-fps Film mode into 60-fps TV/Video mode, there are cases in which
2:3 pulldown sync signals are not in sync. The PureProgressive converter
thus quickly detects the non-sequential points and performs appropriate
corrective measures at high speed to minimize picture flickering.

14-bit, 108-MHz Video D/A Converter
The DVD-9000 uses a 14-bit, 108-MHz video D/A converter to tap the
maximum potential of the new PureProgressive circuit's performance.
The DVD-9000 also uses two independent D/A converters for
Progressive and Interlaced picture reproduction.
Denon engineers have pulled out all the stops in its development of the DVD-9000 to ensure that this DVD player reproduces
sound and pictures at the highest possible level of quality. The DVD-9000 is packed with PureProgressive circuitry for superior
Interlaced-to-Progressive video conversion; two 14-bit, 108-MHz video D/A converters, Noise Shaving Video and a Super Sub
Alias Filter. For high-quality audio output, the DVD-9000 sports AL24 Processing Plus supporting a sampling frequency of 192
kHz; a 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
new flagship DVD player from Denon.
