SC-09TX 10.2 Channel Flagship A / V Receiver
The incredible sound quality of the BDP-09FD is shared with
Pioneer’s flagship A / V receiver, the SC-09TX. Together, they
make the ultimate statement when it comes to audiophile sound.
Even an incredible picture cannot convey the emotion of movies and
music unless the audio performance is equally outstanding. That’s
why the audio section of the BDP-09FD employs the same basic
circuit topology found in some of the most expensive CD players.
Each of the BDP-09FD’s 7.1 channels is equipped with its own
digital-to-analog converter operating in dual-mode, and channel
levels may be calibrated on screen with 0.5-dB precision.
A dedicated analog audio power supply prevents noise con-
tamination, while a toroidal transformer minimizes stray magnetic
energy. And only custom-made precision capacitors match the
tight tolerances specified by Pioneer’s engineers.
An exceptionally rigid chassis and center-mounted drive mech-
anism minimize the jitter that degrades digital audio signal s.
When used with a Pioneer audio/video receiver equipped with our
Precision Quartz Lock System, the BDP-09FD reduces jitter
for the cl eanest possibl e sound.
And, the BDP-09FD decodes major surround-sound formats

bringing you closer—bit for bit—to the sound heard in the studio.
These advanced features produce sound quality that equals or
exceeds that of the finest audiophile CD players previously available—
and rises far above that of typical home theater audio components.

Precise On-Screen Calibration
Most Blu-ray Disc and DVD players with multi-channel outputs
offer channel-level adjustments in coarse 1-dB steps. The
BDP-09F D’s channel levels may be adjusted with 0.5-dB
precision, assuring accurate calibration and the most realistic
surround-sound effect currently avail able.
* Initial production BDP-09FD Blu-ray Disc ® players will require
a firmware update in order to decode DTS-HD Master Audio
