Special features with Super Audio CD (SACD)

General information

Setting the preferred layer

Screen display

38
There are three types of SACD disc: single-layer, dual-layer and hybrid. The
hybrid disc contains a standard audio CD layer in addition to a super audio CD.
An SACD should always contain a pure stereo audio track, but it might also
include an area containing multi-channel recordings. However, there are a few
examples which are pure multi-channel discs, i.e. without a stereo audio track.
Since the MP 3100 HV is designed to reproduce pure stereo sound only, it is
not possible to play back multi-channel discs.
Your preferred disc layer (SACD oder CD) can be selected using the 
button on the FD100, or the  button on the MP 3100 HV. If necessary, briefly
press the button repeatedly until the desired layer is selected.

Any change in layer only occurs after the player has read the disc again. This
means that you must first open the disc drawer, then close it again.

If the disc in the drawer does not contain the layer you have set as your
preference, the machine automatically reads the other available layer.
Play mode indication
 Disc: SACD indicates that the stereo track of an SACD has been read.
