SACD AND CD PLAYBACK

Many functions of the DVD 47 operate the same way

for SACD and CD playback as for DVD play; however,

there are some important differences. When an SACD

or CD is loaded, the DVD 47 will automatically display

the Player Information menu. Status banners are not

available during SACD/CD play. A greater variety of

playback options are available during play, including

programmed playlists (CD only). These and other fea-

tures unique to CD play are described in this section.
