About the Super Audio CD
Super Audio (D is a new high-quality andio
disc standard where music is recorded in the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format
(conventiona! CDs are recorded in the PCM
format). The DSD format, using a sampling
frequency 64 times higher than that of a
conventional CD, and with 1-bit qnantization,
achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide
dynamic range across the andible frequency
range, and so provides music reproduction
extremely faithful to the original sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on the
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer
combination.
• Super Audio (D layer: A high-density
signal layer for Super Audio (D
• CD layer* t :A layer that is readable by a
conventional CD player
Single layer disc
(a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)
Hybrid disc .2
(a disc with an Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer)
layer .3
* 1You can play the CD layel on a conventional CD
player
*2 Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessai 7
to tmn the disc over
*3 To select a layer, see "Selecting a Playback layer for
a Super Audio CD" (page 44)
Region code

About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30
flames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 flames
per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive l_mlat, the
progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.
• When you play video-based software in progressive signal tbmlat, sections of some b,pes of images may appear
unnatural due to the conversion process when output d_rough the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks Even though
you set to "PROGRESSIVE AUTO" or "PROGRESSIVE VIDEO," images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO/
S VIDEO)jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace tbrmat.
