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.
