The SA-CD standard is based on Direct Stream Digital 
(DSD) technology. This new direct-stream digital format 
comprises a 1-bit system that has a digital sampling 
frequency that is 64 times higher than that of 
conventional audio CD. 
There are three types of SA-CD discs: single-layer, dual-
layer and hybrid discs. Each type may contain two areas 
of recorded information: a High Quality Stereo area and 
a High Quality Multi-channel area.
– A single layer disc can contain both information areas.
– A dual layer disc can contain both information areas. 

Double the information can be stored on the disc, 
thanks to the second layer.

– A hybrid disc can contain both information areas, and 

also a second, standard CD layer, making it playable on 
standard CD players.

Recorded information may vary per area, as indicated in 
the disc inlay. You can select areas before or during 
playback while you are playing SA-CD via the remote 
control or via the On-screen display on your TV.

• SA-CD contains only TRACKS.
• Select tracks using the playlist on the screen or by 

pressing the numerical buttons.

• If SA-CD-text is available on the disc, it will be displayed 

on the TV screen.

Playback starts automatically.

• [Analog output] setting in the On-screen menu (Setup

which area of SA-CD to play automatically when you

selected.  When you select the other choices, multi-

• If you set the playback area that the disc does not contain, 

this unit automatically play the available area on the disc.

You can change the playback area of the SA-CD by 
pressing the SOUND MODE button on the remote 
control.

channel area or the stereo area in the HD layer. Press the
