With this button, the bandwidth of the analogue output
filter for SACD playback can be switched between
60 kHz (normal mode) or 100 kHz (
'WIDE' mode).
A security switch at the back panel of the SADV 1250 R HD
must be set to the 'WIDE ENABLE' to allow the wide
bandwidth position to be chosen. 'WIDE' mode cannot be
chosen without the security switch set to 'WIDE ENABLE'
(also see: chapter ' Back Panel Connections ' ).
Note:
The position 'WIDE' should only be used in combination with
amplifiers that are capable of reproducing audio frequencies up
to or beyond 400 kHz. If in doubt, please consult the manual of
your amplifier or ask the manufacturer.
In combination with all  amplifiers the 'WIDE' position can
be used without limitation.

each data format.
A detailed description of the oversampling algorithms can
be
found in chapter 'Technical Description
Oversampling' .
