Features

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 multichannel 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.

Others

• A Super Audio CD can mark up to 255 track/index numbers. This feature applies to SCD-XA3000ES.
• The supplied remote is capable of controlling both the SCD-XA3000ES and a conventional Sony CD player.

Getting Started

This chapter provides information on the supplied accessories and how to connect various audio components to the Super Audio CD player. Be sure to read this chapter thoroughly before you actually connect anything to the player.

Before You Start the Hookup

Checking the supplied accessories

This player comes with the following items:

• Audio connecting cord
• phono jack × 2 (Red and White) phono jack × 2 (Red and White) (2)
• phono jack × 1 (Black) phono jack × 1 (Black) (2)
• Remote commander RM-SX700 (1)
• R06 (size-AA) batteries (2)

Inserting batteries into the remote

Insert two R06 (size-AA) batteries into the battery compartment with the + and - correctly oriented to the markings. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the player.

When to replace the batteries

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the player, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or a humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Hooking Up the Audio Components

Connect the Super Audio CD player to an audio component. Be sure to turn off the power of all components before making connections and connect securely to prevent noise.

When you have an amplifier equipped with the 5.1CH input jacks (multi-channel amplifier, AV amplifier, etc.) and connect the player and the amplifier via ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks, you can play a multi-channel Super Audio CD and enjoy the multi-channel playback. For normal playback, connect the player and an amplifier via ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks.

Connecting via ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks

Use audio connecting cords for this connection. Connect the ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER, SUBWOOFER) to the corresponding jacks of your amplifier. For FRONT or SURR connection, use the connecting cords (Red and White jacks) (supplied) and be sure to match the colour-coded pin to the appropriate jacks: white (left) to white and red (right) to red. For CENTER and SUB WOOFER connection, use the connecting cords (Black) (supplied).

FRONT or SURR connection

Audio connecting cords (Red and White) (supplied)

CENTER or SUB WOOFER connection

Audio connecting cords (Black) (supplied)

Notes

• When you make the Multi-channel connection, connect the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks also using another audio connecting cord so that you can play a CD (or Super Audio CD) when you set the input selector of your amplifier to CD (or Super Audio CD) input.
• During playback of a conventional CD or a 2CH Super Audio CD, the same signal that is output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks is also output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R jacks.
• During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, the same signal that is output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R jacks is also output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks. (The down mixed signal of the Multi-channel signal is not played back.)
  There are 5CH,4CH,and 3CH Super Audio CD.When you play these disc, the signal does not output from all the jacks of the ANALOG 5.1CH OUT.For details of the playback, see the cover or instructions of the Super Audio CD.

Connecting via ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks

Use an audio connecting cords for this connection. Connect the ANALOG 2CH OUT L/R jacks to the CD (Super Audio CD) input jacks of your amplifier. Be sure to match the colour-coded pin to the appropriate jacks: white (left) to white and red (right) to red.

Audio connecting cords (Red and White) (not supplied*)

• If you do not make the ANALOG 5.1 CH connection, you can use the supplied audio connecting cable for the ANALOG 2CH connection.

Note

During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, the same signal that is output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R jacks is also output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks. (The down mixed signal of the Multi-channel signal is not played back.)

Connecting via DIGITAL (CD) OUT OPTICAL connector

Use an optical digital cable for this connection. When connecting the optical digital cable to the DIGITAL (CD) OUT OPTICAL connector, push the cable plugs in until they click into place. Be careful not to bend or twist the optical cable.

Optical digital cable (not supplied)

Note

Only the audio signals of conventional CDs can be output from the DIGITAL (CD) OUT connectors. Those of the Super Audio CD cannot be output through DIGITAL (CD) OUT.

Connecting via DIGITAL (CD) OUT COAXIAL connector

Use a coaxial digital cable to connect the audio components equipped with coaxial digital input connectors.

Coaxial digital cable (not supplied)

Note

Only the audio signals of conventional CDs can be output from the DIGITAL (CD) OUT connectors. Those of the Super Audio CD cannot be output through DIGITAL (CD) OUT.

About "Large" or "Small" speaker

A "Large" speaker is a speaker that can reproduce bass frequencies plenitfully. If you select "Small" for the surround speakers, the bass frequencies will come from the front speakers and/or subwoofer. For normal use, select "MCH Direct" or set all the speakers to "Large" (ex. "5-Large + SW," "5-Large," etc.). If the sound is noisy or the Multi-channel playback is not effective while playing a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, change the settings of the speakers concerned to "Small."
