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 OfA 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-
DAMOOES 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.5.
function
The
unique H.A.T.S. function realizes high
quality sound by eliminating the
jitter
(timing
lapses) between
HOM
I 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
.5.
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.ATS.-
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.ATS.-
compliant components are connected via other
components.
