Philips DVD795SA owner manual Sacd Sound Mode, Hybrid Sacd

There are three types of Super Audio CDs: single-layer, dual-layer, and hybrid. Each may contain two areas of recorded audio or sound modes: High Quality Stereo and High Quality Multi-channel.

A single-layer SACD may contain both Stereo and Multi-channel. A dual layer SACD may contain both Stereo and Multi-channel, but twice the amount.

Hybrid SACDs have two layers, the CD and SACD layers. Within the SACD layer are the SACD Stereo area and the SACD Multi-channel area.

Helpful Hints

•If you do not specify the Sound Mode you want, the Player will play an SACD layer of a hybrid SACD.

•If you select SACD Multi-chan- nel and it is not available on the current SACD, the Player will automatically play the SACD Stereo layer instead.

•If an SACD was recorded with text, the text will appear on the Player’s display panel and the TV screen automatically. To access or remove the text, press DISPLAY. If the SACD has no text, NO TEXT will appear briefly on the display panel when you press DISPLAY.

•Select mch if you connected the Player to a six-channel Receiver as described on page 15.
