Pioneer's DVL-9 leads the DVD revolution in more ways than one. Not only is the DVL-9 the only fully-compatible player for all your DVD, VCD, LD and CD software, it is also the Number 1 selling DVD in Japan.

The DVL-9 gives you all the advantages of the newest DVD technology including the highest picture quality, Dolby-Digital (AC-3) for super sound reproduction and movie playing time of up to 133 minutes on DVD discs.

Features include Both-Side Laser Disc play, separate loading drawers for 12cm and 30cm discs and advanced output terminals that allow you to expand and upgrade your system components.

This multi-optical disc player demonstrates Pioneer's commitment to be the leading provider of quality hardware to play tens of thousands of Laser Disc and Video CD titles already available in addition to the growing number of DVD titles.

Superior Picture Quality:
Pioneer has included the most advanced video technology to give the DVL-9 the finest picture quality for all your software. DVDs look sharp and clear thanks to the built-in 9-bit video signal DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) while LDs benefit from Pioneer's 8-bit Digital Field Memory and Digital Noise Reduction.

Unsurpassed Sound Reproduction:
The DVL-9 provides unsurpassed sound reproduction through the use of a built-in 96kHz 20-bit DAC and Pioneer's own Wide Band Technology employing Hi-bit Legato Link Conversion to simulate sounds over 20kHz. In addition, the power of Dolby Digital (AC-3) will bring the excitement of true theatre sound to your home.

No other player on the market can compare with the full range of features available on the DVL-9. In addition to multi-language subtitle and sound features, the unit provides a full GUI (Graphical User Interface) menu for set up and selection controlled through a handy remote control unit. LD fans will appreciate Pioneer's unique Both-Side play with the new high speed-turn mechanism which automatically and quickly starts playing the second side of the disc after the end of side one.
