Special features with Super Audio CD (SACD)
General information

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 2500 R 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 2500 R. 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.
Disc: CD indicates that a normal audio CD or the CD layer of a hybrid SACD
has been read.
