Toshiba SD-9200 DVD Player

Superior picture quality and Sound remains the single most important thing I look for. Toshiba’s new players include Colorstream component video outputs. The Colorstream component video connection is the ideal interface between a digital video source and a connected display device. The resulting picture is characterized by superior image purity, incredibly lifelike colors and crisp color resolution.

Further enhancing image quality, Toshiba SD9200 player features Video Black Level Expansion circuitry. With this function, the viewer can choose to set the reference black threshold cutoff to Normal (7.5 IRE) or Enhanced (0 IRE). Choosing the Enhanced position from the on-screen display expands the overall contrast range in the picture, resulting in richer, deeper blacks, finer tonal gradation and gray scale reproduction. Toshiba DVD players include the capability of reproducing "blacker than black" pluge signals, a critical feature for maintaining the optimum brightness setting in a properly calibrated home theater system.

Super Colorstream PRO Progressive Scan Output: Redefining DVD Quality Toshiba advances DVD-Video picture quality to the next level with its new SD9200 player with Super Colorstream PRO progressive scan component video output. This newly developed Toshiba technology utilizes an advanced digital filter and decoding process that employs 4x oversampling of the Y component video signal and 8x oversampling of the Pr and Pb signals. The cumulative result is a remarkable film-like, flicker-free video image with demonstrably improved edge definition and enhanced color detail. Super Colorstream PRO dramatically improves color purity and provides color resolution unmatched by any other packaged video medium to date.

In addition to unsurpassed video quality, Toshiba’s SD9200 DVD-Video player raise industry standards for audio quality and flexibility. For the ultimate in audiophile performance, Toshiba’s flagship SD9200 is equipped with a new Advanced Multi-Bit Delta-Sigma converter designed to deliver the highest possible sound quality from two-channel 24-bit/96kHz PCM-encoded DVD-Video content. And for the best stereo audio reproduction, the SD9200 employs an Adaptive Multi-Port Parallel DAC System to parallel-process the L/R audio signals three times for ultra-low distortion during two-channel operation. As a result, signal-to-noise ratios and dynamic range specifications are extended to 117dB.
