Sony NS955 DVD Player
5. Looking Inside
Looking at the inside, we see a very neat and well organised layout. There is plenty of space and on the chassis, we can clearly see ready slots for more expansion modules.
The power supply circuitry is placed some distance from the other components reducing electrical interference.
By pulling aside the ribbon cable, we reveal Sony CXD9804R chip which handles both MPEG decoding and de-interlacing for progressive playback.
We also see chipsets from other manufacturers such as the FAN 8036L from Fairchild semiconductor. Other manufacturers include H.K. Sky Electronics and Samsung.
