INTRODUCTION
Product Features
This unit can playback the outstanding sound performance
in Super Audio CD. This unit has the following unique features.
• D/A converter section that accurately converts DSD/CD
ENGLISH
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.
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.
Playing CD-RW discs
Applicable Discs to the Unit
1. Super Audio CD
There are three types of Super Audio CDs.
• Single-layer Disc
• Dual-layer Disc
• Hybrid-layer Disc
SACD Disc Types
Single-layer Disc
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.
Dual-layer Disc
Hybrid-layer Disc
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.
Hybrid SACD-Disc
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.

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.
ENGLISH
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.
