Super Audio CD (SACD) (page 6)
An SACD disc can reproduce sounds that are
extremely faithful to the original sound by
use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
technology. This technology utilizes a
sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is
64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit
quantization that enables the disc to hold 4
times the amount of information that a
standard PCM format CD can hold. SACDs
are divided into the following types.
•Super Audio CD (single layer disc)
This disc consists of a single HD layer*.
*High density signal layer for the Super
Audio CD
•Super Audio CD (dual layer disc)
This disc consists of dual HD layers and is
capable of extended play over long periods.
Also, as the dual layer disc consists of dual
HD layers on one side only, you do not have
to turn the disc over during playback.
•Super Audio CD + CD (Hybrid disc)
This disc consists of an HD layer and a CD
layer. Also, as the dual layers are on one
side only, you do not have to turn the disc
over during playback. You can play the CD
layer using a conventional CD player.
•2 channel + Multi-channel Super Audio CD
This disc consists of the 2 channel playback
area and the multi-channel playback area.

TV Virtual Surround (TVS) (page 56)
Technology from Sony developed to produce
surround sound for home use using just a
stereo TV. Designed to work with the sound
characteristics of your TV, this technology
brings the excitement of surround sound to
your home using nothing more than your
stereo TV’s internal speakers. Furthermore,
various TVS modes are available. For
example, “TVS WIDE” uses just two
speakers to create a virtual sound
environment that makes you feel like you are
surrounded by multiple speakers.
