Operating the RMC-1
Note: Some players can also play DSD audio directly from a DXD or DSDIFF digital audio file. As
long as the result is output to the RMC-1 as standard DSD via HDMI it should play as DSD.
Because DSD digital audio cannot be processed in the normal way, and because most purists
who choose to listen to unconverted DSD content prefer to avoid any and all conversions and
processing, the playback options for DSD content on the RMC-1 are limited. Two channel DSD
content may be played in modes equivalent to Stereo and All Stereo, with no bass management
or other processing. Surround Sound DSD content may be played in its original 5.1 channels,
or the RMC-1 can be configured to duplicate the Surround Channels into the Rear Surround
Channels (if you have a 7.1 or 7.2 system), also with no bass management or other processing.
If your player only supports converting DSD content to PCM, then the RMC-1 will treat it as it
would any other PCM digital audio input. If you require bass management, or any other features
not available with a DSD signal input, then you should configure your player to send its output to
the RMC-1 in PCM format when playing SACDs.
Note: To play digital audio from an SACD, you MUST use an HDMI connection. The copy
protection present on all SACD discs (including the SACD layer of hybrid discs) restricts the
formats in which players are legally allowed to provide an audio output when playing them.
When playing an SACD disc, players are allowed to provide analog audio (if they have analog
outputs), and they are allowed to provide a digital audio output over an HDMI connection.
They are NOT allowed to provide digital audio from other standard types of digital audio
outputs (like Coax S/PDIF or Toslink). When playing an SACD disc, the player will mute all
digital outputs OTHER THAN HDMI.
(If you connect only the Coax digital output of your universal disc player to the appropriate
input on your RMC-1, you will be able to use that connection to play CDs, and to play the CD
layer on hybrid SACDs, but you will get silence if you attempt to play an SACD, or the SACD layer
of a hybrid disc, through that output. Some players may provide a lower quality digital audio
output from their non-HDMI outputs, and some players will play a few seconds of music from
those outputs before the copy protection mutes them, but the only output you can use to play
full quality digital audio from an SACD disc is HDMI.)
[Complete information about the options the RMC-1 includes for playing DSD content, including
DSD-over-PCM, will be included in the finao version of this manual.]
