About the Super Audio CD

• 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.

• The Super Audio CD has two types; a 2 channel stereo

disc and a Multi-channel disc which holds up to 6

independent channels. The multi-channel characteristic

of the Super Audio CD features a speaker allocation

system basically similar to the 5.1 channel output of

current AV systems.

Features of the player

This player is designed to play back 2-channel and multi-

channel Super Audio CDs, and conventional CDs, and

provides the following features:

• Mounted with a Discrete Dual Laser Optical Pickup,

capable of reading a Super Audio CD or conventional

CD depending on the exclusive wavelength.

• Quicker track access performance enabled by an

advanced servo mechanism.

•A Multi-Channel Management function that allows you

to adjust the multi-channel playback environment

according to the allocation and size of your speakers.

•A Super Audio D/A Converter and Direct Digital Sync

System, which allows higher-quality sound

reproduction.

Others

•A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track/index

numbers. This feature applies to SCD-XA3000ES.

• The supplied remote is capable of controlling both the

SCD-XA3000ES and a conventional Sony CD player.
