3GB GB Features Playback of the Super Audio CD recorded in the DSD format The DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format is the core technology of a Super Audio CD, allowing music reproduction that is extremely faithful to the original sound. The DSD format, using a 2.8224 MHz sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and the 1- bit quantization, makes possible recording of more than four times the data information of the PCM format which is used for a conventional CD. Different from the PCM format which performs data decimation and interpolation via digital filters, the DSD format adopts the simple playback process. In other words, the A/D converted 1-bit digital signal only passes through an analog low-pass filter before playback. As a whole, the DSD format achieves both a wide frequency range of theoretically over 100 kHz, and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range at the same time, and results in high-quality music reproduction faithful to the original sound. To play back a Super Audio CD recorded in the DSD format with exceptional quality, the SCD-1 employs a newly developed DSD decoder and D/A converter system, as well as a chassis and loading mechanism especially designed for this unit. Playback of a conventional CD with higher quality The SCD-1 can also play back a conventional CD with higher quality than a conventional CD player. To provide enhanced quality, the SCD-1 employs various advanced technologies. For example, two independent optical pickups are incorporated; one is for Super Audio CDs, and the other for conventional CDs. In addition, a 24-bit precision variable coefficient (V.C.) digital filter is provided for CD playback (see page 19). By selecting one of five filters which have different cutoff characteristics, you can adjust the tone quality in accordance with the music source or your audio system. Others ¥ A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track/index numbers. Corresponding to that format, the SCD-1 incorporates a large 3-digit display. ¥ The supplied remote is capable of controlling either the SCD-1 and a conventional Sony CD player.

3FR FR CaractŽristiques Lecture dÕun Super Audio CD enregistrŽ en format DSD Le format DSD (Direct Stream Digital) constitue la technologie clŽ du Super Audio CD et permet une reproduction musicale dÕune extrme fidŽlitŽ par rapport au son original. Le format DSD utilise une frŽquence dÕŽchantillonnage de 2,8224 MHz qui est 64 fois supŽrieure ˆ celle dÕun CD classique tandis que la quantification 1 bit permet dÕenregistrer quatre fois plus de donnŽes que le format PCM utilisŽ pour les CD classiques. A la diffŽrence du format PCM qui exŽcute la dŽcimation de donnŽes et dÕinterpolation au moyen de filtres numŽriques, le format DSD adopte le simple processus de lecture. Autrement dit, un signal numŽrique de 1 bit converti A/N passe uniquement par un filtre passe-bas analogique avant la lecture. Globalement, le format DSD offre simultanŽment une large plage de frŽquence thŽoriquement supŽrieure ˆ 100 kHz et une large plage dynamique sur toute la plage de frŽquence audible, ce qui rŽsulte en une reproduction musicale de haute qualitŽ fidle au son original. Pour reproduire un Super Audio CD enregistrŽ en format DSD avec une qualitŽ exceptionnelle, le SCD-1 emploie un dŽcodeur DSD et un convertisseur N/A de conception nouvelle ainsi quÕun ch‰ssis et un mŽcanisme de chargement spŽcifiquement ŽtudiŽs pour cet appareil. Lecture de CD classiques avec une qualitŽ supŽrieure Le SCD-1 peut Žgalement reproduire des CD classiques avec une qualitŽ supŽrieure ˆ celle que peut offrir un lecteur CD classique. Pour assurer une haute qualitŽ sonore, le SCD-1 utilise diffŽrentes technologies de pointe. Par exemple, le SCD-1 intgre deux ttes de lecture optique indŽpendantes, lÕune pour les Super Audio CD et lÕautre pour les CD classiques. Il comporte Žgalement un filtre numŽrique ˆ coefficient variable dÕune prŽcision de lÕordre de 24 bit pour la lecture de CD (voir page 19). En sŽlectionnant lÕun des cinq filtres offrant chacun des caractŽristiques de coupure diffŽrentes, vous pouvez ajuster la qualitŽ tonale en fonction de la source musicale ou de votre systme audio. Divers ¥ Un Super Audio CD peut comporter jusquÕˆ 255 numŽros de plages/index. Correspondant ˆ ce format, le SCD-1 comporte une fentre largement dimensionnŽe ˆ 3 chiffres. ¥ La tŽlŽcommande fournie est capable de commander le SCD-1 et un lecteur classique Sony.
