Introduction
Reality reproduced: Super Audio CD
The future in digital sound reproduction is no longer limited to a close approach of reality. The new audio standard ís reality! The human ear is no longer capable of distinguishing audible reality from digital reproduction. At Philips the future starts today with the SACD 1000 Super Audio Compact Disc player. This Super Audio CD player combines superior sound quality with the possibility to play almost all existing audio and video formats with one player. Your precious CD collection will keep its value!
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 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.
The next standard: hybrid disc
The Super Audio CD is the evolution of CD that provides ultra-high quality sound. Additional features like multi-channel can be offered. On the high density (HD) Super Audio CD you may have access to separate areas, containing two-channel stereo and multi-channel.
But that is not all! The hybrid version of the SACD disc guarantees backward compatibility with the installed base of CD and DVD players. The hybrid disc contains, besides the HD layer, a standard density CD layer with conventional two-channel stereo CD audio information. The two layers are read from the same side of the disc. The HD layer is read by a DVD laser. The bottom reflective layer with conventional CD sound, is read by the CD laser through the second, semi-transmissive HD layer.
SACD 1000; reality in sound... and vision
The SACD 1000 will not only surprise you with its superior reproduction of almost all existing audio formats. Connected to your TV your SACD 1000 presents VCD and DVD video information as perfect digital studio-quality pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multi-channel audio. Story sequences can be screened from your own choice of camera angle. You can break down language barriers with sound tracks in as many as eight languages, plus - if available on disc - as many as 16 subtitles. Video becomes a new experience. And that makes the SACD 1000 an essential component in a state of the art audio-video configuration.
Super Audio CD
You will recognise Super Audio CDs by the logo. There are three types of Super Audio CDs: single layer, dual
layer and hybrid discs. Each type may contain two areas of recorded information. A High Quality Stereo area and a High Quality Multi-channel area.
- The single layer disc may contain both information areas.
- The dual layer disc may contain both information areas but a double amount of information can be stored on the disc because of the second layer.
- The hybrid disc may not only contain both information areas but also a second, standard CD layer which makes it playable on standard CD players. Recorded information may vary per area. This is indicated in the disc inlay. Areas can be selected separately before or during playback. When playing Super Audio CDs the player can be operated via the keys on the player front and the remote control or via the On Screen Display on your TV.

INTRODUCTION 7
Audio CD (CDDA)
Audio CDs contain music tracks only. You will recognise CDs by their logo. You can play them in conventional style
through a stereo system, using the keys on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the TV using the On Screen Display (OSD).
Note: Please note that the DTS audio format on the SACD 1000 is only supported on DVD. This product does not support the playback of DTS encoded CDs.
Digital video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG 2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality. The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios. DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard. This dual-standard player can play both types, and presents them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen. As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.
DVD-Video
You will recognise DVD-Video discs by
the logo.
Depending on the material on the disc
(a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) these discs may have one or more Titles, and each Title may have one or more Chapters. To make access easy and convenient, your player lets you move between Titles, and also between Chapters.
Video CD
You will recognise Video CDs by the logo. Depending on the material on the disc
(a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) these discs may have one or more tracks, and tracks may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case. To make access easy and convenient, your player lets you move between tracks, and between indexes.

Unpacking
First check and identify the contents of your SACD­player package, as listed below:
- SACD-player
- Remote Control Handset with separately-packed batteries
- 2-core power cord
- Euroconnector cable (Europe only)
- Audio cable (4x)
- Digital coaxial cable
- Video cable
- User Manual. If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay. Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your player in the future.
Placement
● Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
● Keep away from domestic heating equipment and
direct sunlight.
● In a cabinet, allow about 2 inch (5 cm) of free space
all around the player for adequate ventilation.
● If the SACD-player cannot read SACDs/CDs/DVDs
correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the SACD­player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
● When replacing from a cold to a warm environment
allow the SACD player to acclimatize for at least 2 hours in order to avoid damage. Suddenly placed in a warm environment the lens may cloud over. Playing a SACD/CD/DVD is not possible then. Wait until the moisture evaporates.
● The player should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, no objects filled with liquids such as vases, should be placed on the player.

Connecting to audio equipment ­digital
The digital output of the SACD1000 does not provide PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signals. If your amplifer/receiver can decode only PCM and no multi­channel signals such as Dolby Digital, do not connect your SACD player via the digital input. This could damage your amplifier and/or speakers.
Connecting to an Audio/(Video) receiver with multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 and DTS)
Digital Multi-channel sound (not for SACD)
For this you need a multi-channel A/V receiver that supports one or more of the DVD audio formats supported by your SACD player (MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS). For this you can check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.
1 Connect the player’s digital audio output (optical 4
or coaxial 5) to the corresponding input on the receiver. For this use the digital audio cable (coaxial) is supplied. Optical is optional.
Notes:
- If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound. The audio format of the DVD disc in play is displayed in the Status Window, when changing the audio format.
- 6 Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder. If your receiver does not contain a decoder, you can make the analog connections as described in chapter ‘Connecting to a Multi-channel Audio/(Video) receiver with 6 connectors’ to obtain 6 Channel Digital Surround Sound.

Delay times - DVD only
Your SACD player is set to reproduce correctly synchronized Digital Surround Sound in a listening area where the surround speakers are about 150cm nearer to the listening position than the front speakers, and the center speaker is in line with the front speakers. To adjust for other listening area arrangements, adapt delay times according to the following:
Digital Surround
Measure the distances in centimeters from the front speaker plane and from the surround speaker plane to the listening positioning plane. Substract the surround distance from the front distance and divide by 30. The result is the required Surround Channel delay time in milliseconds. If the center speaker is on the front speaker plane, no center speaker delay is needed. You can adjust the delay time in the “User Preference Settings”. See Personal preference - Sound - Speaker Settings. If, however, it is nearer to the listening position, measure the distance in centimeters between the front and center speaker planes, and divide by 30. The result is the required Center Channel delay time in milliseconds.
Dolby Pro Logic
If the delay times for Surround Channel and Center Channel are set for Digital Surround mode, the delay times for Dolby Pro Logic mode will automatically be calculated and set.
Connecting the power supply
1 Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type
plate (on the back of the player) corresponds to your local mains voltage. If not, adjust the voltage selector (1) to match with your local mains supply.
2 Plug the female end of the power cable supplied into
the Power connector MAINS (2) on the rear of the player.
3 Plug the male end of the cord into an AC outlet.
Note: When the player is in the STANDBY or OFF position, it is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your player completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from the AC Outlet.
Caution: Only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or attempt to service this device.

q Sound
Digital and Analog output Settings for DVD/VCD
Digital output
Factory setting is ALL. If you connect equipment with a digital input change the setting to All or PCM (Pulse Code Modulation - see below) only. Both coaxial and optical outputs are then switched on (not for SACD). If your equipment doesn't include a digital multichannel decoder, set the digital output to PCM. Both coaxial and optical outputs are then switched on. See ‘Digital and Analog output Settings for DVD/VCD’ above.
PCM output
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a method of encoding audio information in a digital format. PCM samples analog audio information at a fixed sampling rate and measures the amplitude (volume) of the audio signal with a precision determined by the sampling size. Audio is encoded on CDs in the PCM format with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a 16-bit sampling size. A 16­bit sample size can contain 65,536 possible levels of sound volume which corresponds to a dynamic range of 96dB. A DVD can be encoded in PCM with a sampling frequency of up to 96 kHz and a 24-bit sample size.
The PCM setting on your player allows you to select the PCM sample-rate frequency of the analog and digital outputs. You can set it to either 48 kHz or 96 kHz. Factory setting is 48 kHz. Notes when using digital outputs:
● If you have a digital amplifier with a PCM input of 96 kHz, connected via digital output, choose this frequency in the menu. Do not choose 96 kHz if your amplifier has a digital PCM input of 48 kHz since then a strong distorted sound may be produced.
● Due to copy-protection the digital outputs may be muted when 96 kHz is selected, while the analog outputs will remain active. Switching the PCM output back to 48 kHz will reactivate the digital output.
Analog output
See Digital and Analog output settings for DVD/VCD. Select Stereo, Dolby Surround, 3D Sound or Multi­channel. Factory setting is Multi-channel. Multi-channel : Select this setting when using a multi-
channel audio/(video) receiver with six inputs. In this mode, the player will perform Dolby Digital 5.1-channel decoding when applicable, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding on DVD-Video and Video-CD discs with 2-channel soundtracks. No Dolby Pro Logic decoding is done with (Super) Audio CD discs.
Dolby Surround : Select this setting when using
equipment with a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. In this setting the 5.1 audio channels (Dolby Digital, MPEG-
2) are downmixed to a Dolby Surround compatible 2-channel output.
3D-Sound : In a setup without rear speakers
(analog stereo output), 3D Sound remixes the six channels of digital surround into a two speaker output, while retaining all of the original audio information. The result is the listening sensation of being surrounded by
multiple speakers. During DVD or Video-CD playback, these values can be selected directly with the ‘SOUND MODE’ key.
Night Mode
Optimizes the dynamics of the sound with low volume playback. This setting can only be used with discs that support the Night Mode feature.
Speaker settings
Allows you to select speaker settings, volume balance and delay time and to test the speaker settings. Speaker settings are only active on the Multi-channel Audio Out Outputs. Speaker settings will not be used during playback in SACD Stereo or Multi-channel Sound Mode.

32 OPERATION
Enhanced use
Filter switch
Not all amplifiers/receivers and speakers can handle the extended frequency response of SACD. Your SACD is equipped with a switchable filter on the rear. The factory setting of this filter is 40 KHz which is safe for all systems. If your system can handle the full frequency range of SACD (check the relevant manuals or, when in doubt, contact your dealer) do the following:
Set the switch to the required output signal. Position 1 : 40 kHz - output signal on all speakers is set
to 40 kHz.
Position 2 : 50 kHz FRONT/40 kHz OTHERS - output
signal on front speakers is set to 50 kHz; output signal on all other speakers is set to 40 kHz.
Position 3 : 50 kHz - output signal on all speakers is set
to 50 kHz.
Warning: When you are not sure your system is able to handle audio input signals up to 50 KHz do not change the output signal. You may damage your speakers or amplifier/receiver.
System grounding
When your system consists of a lot of components, occasional disturbance problems (like howling noises) may occur. These problems can be solved by grounding the system.
1 Unscrew ground connector GND halfway, connect
an earth wire to the connector and tighten the connector again.
2 Connect the earth wire to the ground connector of
the next component in the system.
3 If ground connectors are available on the other
components of your system, ground the other components in the same way.

Player does not respond to all operating Commands during playback Operations are not permitted by the disc. Refer to the instructions in
the disc inlay.
Disturbance problems (like howling noises) during playback Ground the system. See ‘System grounding’.
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc inside the player is dirty. To avoid these problems clean your discs regularly, in the following way:
● When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out.
Caution: Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

them pressed while you turn the player ON. ➤ On the display the message BUSY appears together with a
counter that counts down as the test is running, reaching zero by the end of the test.
