ABOUT SUPER AUDIO
Disc Types

HD layer
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Marantz SA8001 Super
Audio CD Player for your Audio system.
This Player incorporates a number of features
designed to enhance the listening of your favorite
audio sources.
Please read these operating instructions carefully.
We recommend that you read the entire user guide
before you attempt to connect or operate the player.
After you have reviewed the contents of this
manual,we suggest that you make all system
connections before you attempt ttêoperate the unit.
BEFORE USING
Single-layer Disc
The Super Audio standard is based on Direct Stream
Digital (DSD) technology. This new direct-stream
digital format comprises a 1-bit system that has a
digital sampling frequency that is 64 times higher
than that of conventional audio CD. The results are
spectacular: a frequency response of over 100k Hz
and a 120 dB dynamic range over the entire audible
spectrum. Mixed with as many of the original
frequencies as possible, the audio information
audible for human ears sounds much more natural.
All audible frequencies are, after all, embedded in
the frequency range as emitted by the sound source.
A better reproduction does not exist! For the first time
your ears will relive reality.
NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS
HD layer
* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch
their surfaces.
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be
sure to use the special cleaner and wipe the
surfaces in the directions shown in the figure below.
And each type may contain two areas of recorded
information.
•
•
High quality stereo area
High quality multi-channel area**
•
•
Single Layer Disc
It can contain both high quality stereo area and
high quality multi-channel area** information.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Dual Layer Disc
This unit can playback the outstanding sound
performance in Super Audio CD. This unit has the
following unique features.
PLAYING CD-RW DISCS
It can contain both high quality stereo area and
high quality multi-channel area** information. And
a double amount of information can be stored on
the disc thanks to the second layer.
•
Do not wipe the surface in
t h e c i r c u m fe r e n t i a l
direction.
•
Wipe the surface
radially from the
center.
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.
•
Low-noise low-distortion filter circuit and high-
speed current-feedback-type output amplifier with
the differential input type HDAM.
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the
label surfaces of the discs.
•
Hybrid Layer Disc
•
The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain
properly-recorded TOC information so that they
can be played back. In CD recorders, the task of
writing TOC information is referred to as finalizing
the disc. Discs that are not finalized cannot be
properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD
players. For details, please read the instruction
manual provided with a CD recorder.
Not only does this disc contain both high sound
quality stereo area and high sound quality multi-
channel area** information, it also has a CD layer
in the second layer, so it can be played on a CD
player.
•
Text information display function that can display
disc titles, track titles etc. in Super Audio CD.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental
CD label with paste protruding from the edge or
when a disc still bears traces of sticky tape or
adhesive labels, do not attempt to play it. If such a
disc is played on the CD player, you may find that
you cannot remove it or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur.
•
•
CD-R/CD-RW discs can be played.
Newly Developed Toroidal Transformer
A newly developed Toroidal power transformer,
which produces less vibration and magnetic
leakage flux than previously, has been
incorporated. The materials and manufacturing
process of the ring-shaped core are strictly
controlled to reduce vibration, while the short-ring
attached to the perimeter of the transformer
reduce magnetic leakage flux.

Large Capacitance Block Capacitor
A large capacity 3300µF block capacitor is
incorporated into the power supply circuit.
* Do not use discs which come in special shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal
discs or discs with any other special shapes. You
may find that you cannot remove them or that some
other kind of malfunctioning may occur in the player.
As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates
partial change of the player setup, it may take
longer time for reading the TOC information than
when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.
The number of tracks recorded may vary per layer. It
will be shown on the display window of the unit.
Film capacitors and electrolical capacitors etc.
The capacitors used in high end models are
