Playback of Super Audio CDs

This player is designed to play back 2-channel

and Multi-channel Super Audio CDs, as well as

conventional CDs, and provides the following

features:

• Equipped with a Discrete Dual Laser Optical

Pickup, capable of reading a Super Audio CD

or conventional CD, depending on the

wavelength.

• Precise reading of disc information due to an

advanced servo mechanism.

• A Super Audio D/A Converter, which allows

higher-quality sound reproduction.

• A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track

numbers. This player can take advantage of

this feature.

Digital transmission using

HDMI

Multi-channel audio connection, that used to

require six audio cords, can be made using just

one HDMI cable with higher quality sound.

H.A.T.S. (High quality digital

Audio Transmission System)

• By connecting the player to Sony STR-

DA6400ES amplifiers (for the U.S. and

Canada), or STR-DA5400ES amplifiers (for

Europe) by HDMI, you can listen with higher

fidelity.

• The H.A.T.S. function works only with AV

amplifiers connected by HDMI.

What is the H.A.T.S. function

The unique H.A.T.S. function realizes high

quality sound by eliminating the jitter (timing

lapses) between HDMI components. The

H.A.T.S.-compliant HDMI input components

store digital audio signals momentarily in a

buffer, then read with exact timing before being

converted to analog. This eliminates the jitter

that sometimes occur during digital signal

transmission and greatly improves sound

quality.

Notes on the H.A.T.S. function

• Because of the characteristics of the H.A.T.S.

function, a slight time lag may be introduced

between when a playback component (e.g., this

player) starts playback and when sound is output

from an amplifier. Likewise, even if a playback

component (e.g., this player) has stopped playback,

sound may still be output from an amplifier for a

while. The duration of this time lag may be different

for CD and Super Audio CD sources.

• The H.A.T.S. function works only with H.A.T.S.-

compliant components.

• Activate or deactivate the H.A.T.S. function on the

AV amplifier connected to the player. This player

does not have the ability to change the setting.

• Connect this player to a H.A.T.S.-compliant

component directly using an HDMI cable. The

H.A.T.S. function does not work when H.A.T.S.-

compliant components are connected via other

components.

GB

You can play the following types of discs on this

player.

• Super Audio CDs

• Audio CDs

•DSD Discs

This player cannot play the following discs.

• CD-ROMs (MP3, JPEG, etc.)

• DVDs

•DTS-CDs

• DualDiscs, etc.

If you try to play CD-ROMs/DVDs, the error

message “

Cannot Play” or “No Disc” will appear.

For DTS-CDs/DualDiscs, refer to their

respective notes below.

Music discs encoded with copyright

protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that

conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright

protection technologies are marketed by some record

companies. Please be aware that among those discs,

there are some that do not conform to the CD standard

and may not be playable by this product.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be

played back because of scratches, dirt, recording

condition, or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the

discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of

recording, cannot be played back. In these cases,

“Reading” will remain or “Cannot Play” will appear on

the display.

Note on DTS-CDs

DTS signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT (CD)

jacks only. The DTS signals must be decoded on a

DTS-compliant digital device to be listened to.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates

DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio

material on the other side. However, since the audio

material side does not conform to the Compact Disc

(CD) standard, playback on this product is not

guaranteed.

Note on DSD Discs

A DSD Disc is a disc recorded in the DSF file format.

This player can play DSF files that you have recorded

on DVD-ROM compatible DVD-R, DVD-RW,

DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. For details on DSD

Discs, see page 25.

GB

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio

disc standard where music is recorded in the

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format

(conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM

format). The DSD format, using a sampling

frequency 64 times higher than that of a

conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,

achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide

dynamic range across the audible frequency

range, and so provides music reproduction

extremely faithful to the original sound.

Types of Super Audio CDs

There are 2 types of Super Audio CDs.

Single layer disc

A disc with a single Super Audio CD layer*

Hybrid disc

A disc with a Super Audio CD layer and a CD

layer**. You can select the layer you want to

listen to. Since both layers are on one side, it is

not necessary to turn the disc over.

You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD

player.

* High density signals of Super Audio CD are recorded

on this layer.

**The layer can be played on a conventional CD

player.

Channel areas of Super Audio

CDs

A Super Audio CD has 2 types of channel areas.

2-channel area

An area in which 2-channel stereo tracks are

recorded

Multi-channel area

An area in which multi-channel (up to 5.1

channels) tracks are recorded

When the 2-channel area and the multi-

channel area are recorded on a Super

Audio CD layer

In case of a disc with both areas, you select the

area which is given priority to be played back

(page 24). You can change the area to be played

for each disc (page 24).

Tip

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for

about 6 months. When the remote no longer operates

the player, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or a

humid place.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote

casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or

lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a

malfunction.

• If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended

period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible

damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

When you connect a stereo amplifier or make an

analog connection with an MD deck, connect the

player and the component through the

ANALOG OUT UNBALANCED jacks or

ANALOG OUT BALANCED jacks.

Use the audio connecting cord (supplied) or

XLR (balanced) cables (not supplied) for this

connection.

Be sure to turn off the power of all components

before making connections, and connect plugs

securely to prevent noise.

Connecting a component with

analog input jacks

Use the supplied audio connecting cord. Be sure

to match the color-coded pin to the appropriate

jacks: white (left) to white and red (right) to red.

XLR (balanced) cable (not supplied)

Note

The XLR (balanced) cable is locked, therefore, cannot

be disconnected, even if it is pulled. If you transport the

player with the components connected, they may be

damaged. Be sure to disconnect the XLR (balanced)

cable before transporting the components.

Connect an amplifier having an HDMI input

jack to the HDMI OUT jack. Connect an MD

deck or other digital components to the

DIGITAL OUT (CD) jacks.

Be sure to turn off the power of all components

before making connections, and connect plugs

securely to prevent noise.

Connecting a component with

an HDMI jack

When you connect the HDMI OUT jack of the

player and an HDMI input jack of an amplifier,

you can transmit the audio signal of Super Audio

CDs and CDs in digital. If you connect the

player to a Multi-channel AV amplifier having

an HDMI input jack, you can play a Super Audio

CD and enjoy multi-channel playback.

The audio format that is output from the HDMI

Notes

• It is recommended to use an HDMI cable of category

2 to connect the player.

• The HDMI OUT jack of the player outputs only the

blue signal as video. It does not output any other

video signals.

• Depending on the HDMI performance of the

connected component (the format, sampling

frequency, resolution, receivability of copyright

protection signal from Super Audio CDs, etc.), no

audio signal may be output from the HDMI OUT

jack of the player. In this case, “HDMI” will not light

up on the display.

Connecting a digital
