SACD
There are three types of Super Audio CDs: single-layer, dual-
layer, and hybrid.
Each may contain two areas of recorded audio or sound modes:
High Quality Two-Channel and High Quality Multi-channel.
A single-layer SACD may contain both Two-Channel and Multi-
channel.
A dual layer SACD may contain both Two-Channel and Multi-
channel, but twice the amount.
Hybrid SACDs have two layers, the CD and SACD layers.
Within the SACD layer are the SACD Two-Channel area and
SACD Multi-channel area.
If you have a hybrid SACD, you need to choose the layer/sound
mode you want to play - CD, SACD Two-Channel, or SACD Multi-
channel.

the SACD layer when playback is stopped.
Press the PLAY(

The layer you select will play.
• You cannot switch between the CD and SACD layers during
playback.
Channel Changing
Press the AUDIO button repeatedly to choose the Multi-chan-
nel or the Two-Channel when playback is stopped.
The sound mode will appear on the front panel.
Press the PLAY(
y) button.
Notes:
With Super audio CDs, Digital audio signals cannot be output
