Using the direct access keypad

The ten-digit keypad on the remote control can be used to directly access any track on the disc. Press the digits of the track you wish to access.

To access a track number greater than 11, press the >10 key, and then enter the two digit track number.

Selecting inputs

Press the INPUT key on the remote control to select between either of the digital inputs and the internal transport. As shown in the illustration below, each time the INPUT key on the remote control is pressed the Omega SACD advances to the next input. The front panel display shows the selected input by illuminating INTERNAL, SPDIF, or TOSLINK indicators on the front panel display.

When any external input is selected, the internal SACD/CD mechanism will automatically power off after approximately 60 seconds, saving power and improving sound quality.

SRC (Sample-Rate Converter)

The Sample-rate converter will convert PCM (Pulse Code Modulated) signals from the digital inputs or from a CD playing on the internal transport, to 96 kHz sample rate. The signal is then processed by a 4-times over-sampling filter before it is fed to the internal DAC section. In addition, the 96 kHz signal is routed to all digital outputs.

Note that if the Sample-rate converter is selected, the HDCD decoding filter will be disabled – even if the signal being processed was recorded using HDCD. Also, the Sample-rate converter works only on PCM (Pulse Code Modulated) signals and will therefore not operate when playing Super Audio CDs on the internal transport. Lastly, note that the Sample-rate converter will disable the de-emphasis flag from the signal at the digital output. If an emphasized signal is connected to an outboard converter while using the Sample-rate converter, the outboard unit will not recognize the emphasis flag and will not engage de-emphasis filters. The result will be slightly elevated high-frequency response.

To select the 96 kHz Sample-rate converter, press the SRC key on the remote control. To return to the Standard filter, press the SRC key again. When the Sample-rate converter is engaged, the display will illuminate “SRC”.
