Philips DVD763SA98 - Manual (Page 46)

46 SACD Sound Mode
There are three types of Super Audio CDs: single-layer, dual-layer, and
hybrid. Each may contain two areas of recorded audio or sound modes:
High Quality Stereo and High Quality Multi-channel.
A single-layer SACD may contain both Stereo and Multi-channel. A dual
layer SACD may contain both Stereo and Multi-channel, but twice the
amount.
Hybrid SACDs have two layers, the CD and SACD layers. Within the
SACD layer are the SACD Stereo area and the SACD Multi-channel
area.
If you have a hybrid SACD, you need to choose the layer/sound mode
you want to play - CD, SACD Stereo, or SACD Multi-channel. Follow
these steps to choose a Sound Mode.
1 Hybrid SACDs have two layers, the CD layer and the SACD layer.
You can switch between the CD layer and the SACD layer when
playback is stopped.
Press SOUND MODE.
Sound Mode will be selected in the
System Menu Bar. Press SOUND MODE repeatedly to
choose cd (the CD layer), st (SACD Stereo), or mch
(SACD Multi-channel).
You cannot switch between the CD and SACD layers during play-
back.
2 If you selected st (SACD Stereo) or mch (SACD Multi-
channel), during SACD playback press SOUND MODE to
switch between st and mch. The layer you select will play.
The Sound mode will appear on the TV screen: SA6 (SACD Multi-
channel or six channels); SA2 (SACD Stereo or two channels,
right and left); or CD (CD layer).

• If you do not specify the Sound
Mode you want, the Player will
play an SACD layer of a hybrid
SACD.
• If you select SACD Multi-chan-
nel and it is not available on the
current SACD, the Player will

text, the text will appear on the
Player’s display panel and the
TV screen automatically. To
access or remove the text, press
DISPLAY. If the SACD has no
text, NO TEXT will appear
briefly on the display panel
when you press DISPLAY.

Player to a six-channel Receiver
