The DV9600 includes many examples of Marantz’s best engineering and refined circuitry with carefully chosen internal components.

It supports DVD, DVD-A, SA-CD (stereo and multi-channel), CD, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD 2.0, SVCD, and MP-3 discs with built-in Dolby Digital and dts decoders and true DSD processing for all SA-CDs. An IEEE-1394 connection allows a digital connection for all possible audio formats, including SACD and DVD-A, while the HDMI 1.1 output will pass both the digital video and audio for DVD and DVD-A. A dual-transformer power supply separates circuits to eliminate interference.

Analog audio circuitry includes unique high current HDAM modules mounted on a separate circuit board for extra isolation. The chassis includes a double-layer bottom plate to minimize vibrations and the transport mechanism is highly damped to minimize tracking problems that can affect both picture and sound.

Video circuitry includes a separate progressive-scan 12-bit D/A converter in addition to the main 216 MHz/14-bit video processor. NSV (Noise Shaped Video) circuits further reduces video noise for extraordinary reproduction.

Marantz’ Pure Direct Digital Video circuit allows the raw 480i digital video to pass straight to your display device unencumbered by any video processing. This avoids the pitfalls of duplicate processing and in the case of state-of-the-art circuitry such as in our VP-12S4 projector, allows the processor the cleanest possible starting point from which to work. And for the latest in HD displays, the DV9600 will upscale to 1080p, in addition to the existing 480p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions.

Conveniences abound. There’s a customizable start-up screen, parental controls, an HDMI video output. And an RS-232 port for total system control. There’s even a direct IR flasher input! The DV9600. Proof that Marantz values your total satisfaction.
