- FM Carrier frequency of 5.6MHz-7.2MHz (0.8MHz up on normal high band) in the SP mode allows more luminance/chrominance bandwidth for high quality.
 - Luminance resolution improved to 300 lines for clear, vivid and highly detailed playback.
 - Fully compatible with U-matics in luminance signal deviation (1.6MHz) and chroma sub-carrier frequency (924 kHz).
 - Can play standard/high band and SP tapes, with built-in auto-detection of system and Dolby in/out detection when using Sony KSP tapes.
 - State-of-the art circuitry includes new noise canceller and CCD-based drop-out compensator for improved resolution and reduced luminance/chrominance ringing.
 - Dolby C noise reduction improves audio signal-to-noise ratio to better than 70dB.
 - Sendhurst head and playback circuits improve audio frequency response and raise non-Dolby signal-to-noise ratio to better than 52dB in SP mode.
 - XLR balanced audio connectors for extended signal transmission and direct connection to professional audio products.
 - Frame code capability facilitates sophisticated programming functions, bringing new precision to auto search/repeat and random access.
 - RS-232C connection through optional BKU-701 Computer Interface Board allows operation from external computer or RX707 auto search control unit.
 - 33-pin parallel interface for remote control of basic VTR functions through RM-500 and RM-580 options.
 - DUB OUT connector for high quality picture playback/duplication minimizes generation loss in all 3 modes.
 
- Real time counter gives LED display of tape running time to ±99min 59sec, or frame code display when BKU-701 is fitted.
 - External Sync/TBC functions for smooth multiple VTR playback.
 - Quick-start from pause to playback within 0.5sec when TBC switched on, facilitates sequential playback.
 - Programmable repeated playback of two segments possible setting in and out points bt CTL or Frame Code.
 - Works with AC on/off timers for unattended automatic start/stop.
 - Optional RM-690 simple remote controller can be custom-wired for operation from 5m to 50m distance.
 - Bidirectional fast search dial gives pictures from still to 5 times normal speed, and to 8 times normal operation with optional RM-580 remote controller.
 - Excellent still picture in pause mode with guard band noise reduction limited to very top and bottom of screen.
 - Long pause mode automatically loosens tape around head after 8 minutes in pause mode, to prevent tape/head damage,
 - Digital hour meter indicates head usage by 50-hour stages, to 9,950 hours.
 - Built in diagnostics improve serviceability by aiding the detection of faults and defects.
 - Optional plug-in RF modulator RFK-660 allows monitoring through ordinary TV receiver.
 - Fits 19-inch EIA standard rack with optional RMM-507 rack mount kit, saving space and easing maintenance.
 - The VP-9000 is 4 rack units high.
