Using the direct access keypad
The ten-digit keypad on the remote control can be
used to directly access any track on the disc. Press
the digits of the track you wish to access.
To access a track number greater than 11, press the
>10 key, and then enter the two digit track number.
Selecting inputs
Press the INPUT key on the remote control to select
between either of the digital inputs and the internal
transport. As shown in the illustration below, each
time the INPUT key on the remote control is pressed
the Omega SACD advances to the next input. The
front panel display shows the selected input by
illuminating INTERNAL, SPDIF, or TOSLINK indicators
on the front panel display.
When any external input is selected, the internal
SACD/CD mechanism will automatically power off
after approximately 60 seconds, saving power and
improving sound quality.
SRC (Sample-Rate Converter)
The Sample-rate converter will convert PCM (Pulse
Code Modulated) signals from the digital inputs or
from a CD playing on the internal transport, to 96
kHz sample rate. The signal is then processed by a
4-times over-sampling filter before it is fed to the
internal DAC section. In addition, the 96 kHz signal
is routed to all digital outputs.
Note that if the Sample-rate converter is selected,
the HDCD decoding filter will be disabled – even
if the signal being processed was recorded using
HDCD. Also, the Sample-rate converter works only
on PCM (Pulse Code Modulated) signals and will
therefore not operate when playing Super Audio
CDs on the internal transport. Lastly, note that the
Sample-rate converter will disable the de-emphasis
flag from the signal at the digital output. If an
emphasized signal is connected to an outboard
converter while using the Sample-rate converter,
the outboard unit will not recognize the emphasis
flag and will not engage de-emphasis filters. The
result will be slightly elevated high-frequency
response.
To select the 96 kHz Sample-rate converter, press
the SRC key on the remote control. To return to the
Standard filter, press the SRC key again. When the
Sample-rate converter is engaged, the display will
illuminate “SRC”.
