INTRODUCTION

PRODUCT FEATURES

This unit can playback the outstanding sound performance in
Super Audio CD. This unit has the following unique features.

• Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and high-speed HDAM
SA2-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.

• CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played.

• Discs can be played using an external high-precision clock.

• Phase inversion of analog signal can be performed.

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 100k
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.

PLAYING CD-RW DISCS

This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well
as ordinary Audio 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.
In CD recorders, the task of writing TOC information is
referred to as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not finalized
cannot be properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD players.
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 an Audio CD or
CD-R disc is played.

BEFORE USING

NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS

* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch their

surfaces.

* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.

the special cleaner and wipe the surfaces in the directions
shown in the figure below.

• Wipe the surface radially
from the center.

* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the label

surfaces of the discs.

When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label
with paste protruding from the edge or when a disc still bears
traces of sticky tape or adhesive labels, do not attempt to
play it. If such a disc is played on the CD player, you may
find that you cannot remove it or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur.

• Do not wipe the surface in
the circumferential direction.

INAPPROPRIATE PLACES FOR
INSTALLATION

To keep your player in perfect working order for the longest
possible time, avoid installing the player in the following
locations.

• Wherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight

• Wherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating

appliance

• Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor

• Wherever it is very dusty

• Wherever it will be subject to vibration

• On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location which is

tilted at an angle

• In an audio rack with little space at the top and bottom or
other location where the heat dissipation will be obstructed
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the player while
leaving clearances between the player and wall or other
components, as shown in the figure below.

• On top of an amplifier or other component which dissipates
a great deal of heat

* The quality of the laser and other components can be

harmed if the player is placed directly on top of an
amplifier or other device which generates heat.

satisfy the appropriate CD standards are used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound quality even
if it is possible to play such discs.
