CDSA User Manual CDSA Disc Player The CDSA is a disc player for CD and stereo SA-CD. While it does play the mulichannel program of SA-CD discs it only provides 2 channels of analog output. As a unique feature, the CDSA up-samples any PCM signal to twice the sample rate as it is used on SA-CD’s before converting it to the analog output.
CDSA User Manual Operation The main power switch is on the back of the unit. The aluminum power button on the Power front is a momentary switch that toggles the operation between power on and off mode every time the user pushes it. From the wired remote control the CDSA can be put into Standby mode, whereby the power supply and other vital circuits remain powered.
