CD Playback

 

DVD-Audio discs can have up to 9 groups of tracks. When set to Single, the selected group plays and then the disc stops, or returns to the menu screen. Use Group Search to select the group to play.

(You cannot use the track skip 4 / ¢ or scan buttons 1 / ¡ in this mode.)

Set to All if you want to play all the groups on a disc consecutively.

Even if the players is set to All but you select a group to play from the disc menu, only that group will play. If you stop playback, all groups will play again when you restart playback.

Some DVD-Audio discs contain DVD-Video content in addition to the DVD-Audio. Set to DVD-Videoto play a DVD-Audio disc as if it were a DVD-Video disc. Note that in this case only the DVD-Video part of the disc will play.

CD Playback

 

SACD discs can be divided up into several different areas — stereo audio (2ch Area), multi-channel audio (Multi-ch Area) and, for hybrid SACDs, standard CD audio (CD Area). Select which you want to listen to.

If you select an area that isn’t on the disc loaded, a different area of the disc will play. For example, if you choose standard CD audio but the disc loaded is not a hybrid SACD, the stereo SACD audio will play.
