Our Favorite Universal Player Under $2000! ...Now ONLY $1199!

The Marantz DV-9600 Universal Disc Player sets a new benchmark for audio and video playback at its price. Built from the ground up, this player was designed first and foremost for the audiophile music lover! This player is a sonic stunner! Standard CD playback is smooth and refined, and the performance with high-resolution sources such as SACD and DVD-A is even better. Take a close look inside: a super-rigid chassis; separate, isolated power supplies for audio, video, and the display; audiophile-grade HDAM-SA analog output stages; a custom-built transport mechanism; and full bass management for SACD/DVD-A. The “pure-direct” mode shuts off all the video circuitry for a lower noise floor. The video performance is off the charts, with today’s most sophisticated 216MHz/14-bit video DAC. The HDMI port offers full digital transmission of the video signal in high-definition scaled up to unbelievable 1080p resolution. Add the world’s best three-year parts-and labor warranty, and you have the first budget reference universal player. Our highest recommendation!

The DV-9600 includes many examples of Marantz’s best engineering and refined circuitry with carefully chosen internal audiophile components. It supports DVD, DVD-A, SACD (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 SACDs. 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 DV-9600 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.
