Front panel controls
On / Off switch.
The green LED glows when the unit is switched on and
ready to use.
Note:
If the SADV 1245 R is connected to a pre-amplifier,
integrated amplifier or receiver within an 'R' system, it
can be switched off, with the whole system, by pressing
the
button on the remote control handset.
Note:
The mains button does not disconnect the device from
the mains completely. Some parts of the circuit are still
live when the unit is switched off.
CD Drawer
The drawer of the SADV 1245 R consists of a
combination of a special plastic with good damping
qualities, and solid, precision-machined treated
aluminium. It’s floating and flexible suspension system
eliminates the transfer of mechanical vibration to the disc,
which can have an adverse effect on the sound.
Button for opening and closing the drawer.
With this button, the bandwidth of the analogue output
filter for SACD playback can be switched between
60 kHz (normal mode) or 100 kHz ('WIDE' mode).
A security switch at the back panel of the SADV 1245 R
must be set to the 'WIDE ENABLE' to allow the wide
bandwidth position to be chosen. 'WIDE' mode cannot be
chosen without the security switch set to 'WIDE
ENABLE' (also see: chapter 'Back Panel
Connections').
Note:
The position 'WIDE' should only be used in combination
with amplifiers that are capable o f reproducing audio
frequencies up to or beyond 400 kHz. If in doubt, please
consult the manual of your amplifier or ask the
manufacturer.
In combination with all amplifiers the 'WIDE' position
can be used without limitation.
(CD and SACD only)
With this button the video section o f the SADV 1245 R
can be switched off.
When switched off the high fre quency video signals can
not influence the susceptible audio signals. Switching o ff
the video section is recommended for highest possible
audio reproduction quality.
Selection of the oversampling method
Repeatedly pressing this button cyclically steps through
the various oversampling algorithms offered by the
SADV 1245 R.
For SACD and CD playback each have two different sets
of oversampling algorithms. These special algorithms
implemented in the SADV 1245 R are optimised for each
data format.
A detailed description of the oversampling algorithms can
be found in chapter 'Technical Description
Oversampling'.
