Listening to SACD
It exist three types of SACD discs: single layer, double
layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid discs contain a
standard CD and a SACD layer.
The SACD layer should always contain the music in a
pure stereo format. Additionally it may contain the music
in multi channel format. Some rare discs however contain
only multi channel signals on the SACD layer. The
SADV 1245 R can play back all of these discs. Please
follow the instructions below.
