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.
• An i.LINK digital transmission system that provides
higher quality sound and lets you make connections
with just 1 i.LINK cord instead of 6 pin cords.
• This player complies with DTLA copy protection
technology (Revision 1.2).
Others
• A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track/index
numbers. This feature applies to SCD-XA9000ES.

SCD-XA9000ES and a conventional Sony CD player.
