About the Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio
disc standard where music is recorded in the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format
(conventional AUDIO CDs are recorded in the
PCM format). The DSD format, using a
sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of
a conventional AUDIO CD, and with 1-bit
quantization, achieves both a wide frequency
range and a wide dynamic range across the
audible frequency range, and so provides music
reproduction extremely faithful to the original
sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on the
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer
combination.
• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density
signal layer for Super Audio CD
• CD layer
1)
: A layer that is readable by a
conventional CD player
Single layer disc
(a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)
Hybrid disc
2)
(a disc with a Super Audio CD layer and a CD
layer)
A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2
channel area and/or the multi-channel area.
• 2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel
stereo tracks are recorded
• Multi-channel area: An area in which
multi-channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks
are recorded
1)
You can play back the CD layer on a conventional
CD player.
2)
Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary
to turn over the disc.
3)
To select a layer, see “Selecting a playback area for
Super Audio CD” (page 26).
4)
To select an area, see “Selecting a playback area for
Super Audio CD” (page 26).
