About Multi Session CD

About the Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is reco rded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM format). Th e DSD format , using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so pro vi des music reproduct i on extremely faith ful to the original sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of di scs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.
• Super Audio CD la yer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD
•CD layer* conventional CD pl ayer
Single layer disc (a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)
Hybrid disc* (a disc with a Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer)

• Do not place the speakers in locations that are: – Extremely hot or cold – Dusty or dirty – Very humid – Subject to vibrations – Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on
a specially treated (waxed, oile d, pol ished, etc.) floor, as staining or disco lora tion may result.
• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses.
• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powd er, or sol ve nt suc h a s al co hol or be nzine.
• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speak er ma y f al l down.
Notes on placing IR transmitter and IR receiver
• Do not install the IR receiver in a place ex pose d to direct sunlight or strong light such as an inc and es ce nt lam p.
• The cords of the IR transmitter and IR receiver are for this system only. You cannot use a commercially available
extension cord.
Notes on placing the surround amplifier and speaker base
• Do not step and place objects other than supplied speakers on the surround amplifier and speaker base.
• When you install the speaker on the surround amplifier or speaker base, make sure the speaker is properly stacked.
To connect the speaker cords
Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker i n sulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.
Note
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the S PEAKER jack.

Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions w hen conne cting the speakers. Ma ke sure th e bare wire of each spea ker cord do es not tou ch another speaker terminal or the bare w ir e of another speake r cord.
GB
22
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers , and AC power cord (mains lead) , outpu t a test to ne to check that all the speakers are connecte d correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 96. If no sound is heard from a spe aker while outputting a test ton e, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one curr ently d ispla yed on th e Setu p Disp lay, t he spe aker may be short -circ uite d. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Note
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack ba ss an d ma y be distorted.
