CONTROLS AND OPERATION
This section describes all of the controls, front panel
display, and operation of the Omega SACD Player.
Turning on AC power
The Omega SACD is turned on by means of a
power switch located on the power supply unit.
Do not turn the AC power on until all connections
have been made.
Standby mode
If the Omega SACD Player is left idle for more than
five minutes, it will automatically enter Standby
mode. In this mode, the front panel display and
transport power supplies are turned off, saving
power. However, the low-level analog power
supplies remain on for maximum sonic performance
When the Omega SACD Player is in Standby mode,
a single LED indicator on the main-unit front panel
will illuminate. In addition, the power indicator on
the power supply will remain illuminated.
The Omega SACD Player will automatically return
to regular operation when any key on the front
panel or remote control is pressed.
Top panel controls
Below is an illustration of the Classé Omega
SACD Player and brief descriptions of the top
panel controls.
STOP
Pressing STOP will cause the Omega SACD to
stop playing.
PLAY
Pressing the PLAY key will begin playing.
If the drawer is open, PLAY will cause the drawer
to close.
SKIP FORWARD/SKIP BACK
Use these keys to select a track on a disc. You can
select a track while the Omega SACD is reading a
disc and searching for the Table of Contents.
OPEN/CLOSE
This key opens and closes the disc-loading door.
Pressing PLAY will also cause the door to close.
Note that the loading door will close automatically
if left open for over one minute.
SACD/CD
This key allows the user to select which layer of
a multi-layer hybrid SACD disc is played. Pressing
this key toggles back and forth between SACD and
CD playback. The switch setting is indicated by
the LEDs above the key on the top panel, and also
on the front panel display. Note that the SACD/CD
key only works when the unit is not playing.
When using a single layer disc – either SACD
or standard CD – the Omega SACD player
automatically selects the appropriate layer and
the SACD/CD key is disabled. In addition, the
Omega SACD automatically defaults to the
SACD layer when playing a dual-layer hybrid
SACD/CD disc. Thus, the only time the SACD/CD
key is used is to select the CD layer on a dual-layer
SACD/CD recording.
