Primary Power Supply
Toroidal Transformer
Four-Chamber Aluminum Chassis
T he physical architecture of the BD P - 09F D incorporates four chamber s
that separate major par ts of the unit form one another, el iminating el ectrical
interference encountered in l esser designs. A udio circuit boards are isol ated
from video circuit boards, and vice versa. Power suppl ies are removed from
delicate audio and video circuitr y, while the disc transpor t is simil arly isol ated
f r om ot her el ect r ical and mechanical assembl ies.

Low Center Load Drive
T he Bl u - ray Disc recorder transpor t—the most precise such mechanism avail-
abl e—is mounted in the center of the BDP - 09F D's frame, l ow in the chassis.
T his position hel ps damp internal vibrations, and al so l essens the effect of
external vibrations. Both of these bene fi ts assure that errors in reading in -
formation from a disc wil l be negl igibl e or non - existent.

Even Greater than
the Sum of its Parts
Pioneer's engineers know that in order for
the most ambitious design to be realized, it
must be complemented by superior parts and
uncompromised build quality. The BDP-09FD
sacrifices nothing, so neither do you.
