This unit has the following unique features. · D/A converter section that accurately converts DSD/CD signal into high-quality analog signal with the DEM(Dynamic Element Matching) Super DAC(CS4397). · Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and high-speed currentfeedback-type output amplifier with the differential input type HDAM. · Text information display function that can display disc titles, track titles etc. in Super Audio CD/CDs. · CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played. There are three types of Super Audio CDs. · Single-layer Disc · Dual-layer Disc · Hybrid-layer Disc SACD Disc Types Single-layer Disc Dual-layer Disc Hybrid-layer Disc Applicable Discs to the Unit 1. Super Audio CD ENGLISH About super audio The Super Audio 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. The results are spectacular: a frequency response of over 50k Hz and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original frequencies as possible, the audio information audible for human ears sounds much more natural. All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded in the frequency range as emitted by the sound source. A better reproduction does not exist! For the first time your ears will relive reality. HD layer HD layer CD layer HD layer And each type may contain two areas of recorded information. · High quality stereo area · High quality multi-channel area · Single Layer Disc It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality multi-channel area information. · Dual Layer Disc It can contain both high quality stereo area and high quality multi-channel area information. And a double amount of information can be stored on the disc thanks to the second layer. · Hybrid Layer Disc The hybrid disc may contain not only both information areas but also a second, standard CD layer, making it playable on standard CD players. Hybrid SACD-Disc Playing CD-RW discs This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well as ordinary music CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs. · The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properlyrecorded TOC information so that they can be played back. With the CD recorder system, writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to as finalizing the disc. A disc cannot be recognized as a CD disc and played back unless it has been finalized properly. For details, please read the instruction manual provided with a CD recorder. * TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc. · This unit can play only the discs recorded in the CD-DA format designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit. · As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the player setup, it may take longer time for reading the TOC information than when a music CD or CDR disc is played. 1 CD layer that plays on any of your existing CD players High-Density layer containing: 2 - High-Quality DSD Stereo 3 - High-Quality DSD Multi-channel The number of tracks recorded may vary per layer. It will be shown on the display window of the unit. 2. Audio CD (CDDA) Audio CDs contain music tracks only. 2 PREPARATION Compact discs The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back. Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the SA8260 Super Audio CD Player reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog records. Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side. To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations: ­ ­ ­ In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater. In a place which is damp or dirty. In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window. Always keep the disc surface clean. Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below. Wipe in a radial direction. Do not wipe in circumferential direction. · Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface. Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases. Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction may result. · · Do not use a disc with a special shape. Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the equipment malfunction may result. 3 ENGLISH Precautions · In winter, windows on a well-heated room you can see water drops on it or the window get fogged. It is called dew. Super Audis CD players have an optical lens so dew may form on it under those circumstance. - In a room that heating has just started. - In a high-humid room. - When the unit is brought to a warm room from a cold place. If dew is on the lens track information cannot be read and the unit malfunctions. So please wait about 30 minutes to play. · The unit may interfere with a tuner and TV. If it happens set the unit with a distance from the tuner and TV. · Noise level is far less than analog discs so noise can hardly be heard until music starts. If the volume of the amplifier is set loud, other audio components may be damaged. · This unit can playback only Super Audio CDs and normal music CDs. The following disks cannot be played. CDROMs for personal computers, Game CDs, Video CDs, DVDs(Video/Audio), DTS-CDs, etc. Loading batteries Batteries in this remote control unit have a life of approximately 1 year under normal operating conditions. If the remote control unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Also, if you notice that the batteries are starting to run down, replace them as soon as possible. q Remove the battery cover. ENGLISH w Insert the batteries with correct +/­ orientation. Two AA-size (R6) batteries To prevent any accidents, please set the unit close to the power outlet so that you can unplug it quickly. e Close the battery cover until it clicks shut. Using Remote Control Unit Handling Batteries Improper use of batteries may cause fluid leakage or explosion. Be careful in the following points. · Insert batteries correctly in the +/- polarity direction as indicated on the unit. · Do not use brand-new batteries and used batteries together. · Dry cell batteries may generate different voltages even though their shapes are the same. Do not use different types of batteries together. · Some batteries are rechargeable and some are not. See cautions on batteries carefully to use.
