Super Audio CD (SA-CD) playback issues
IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.
Due to the SA-CD Copy Protection, the DSD audio can't be transmitted over an unsecured wireless speaker. This means that if you use a Soundbar or Audio Receiver with a Wireless Subwoofer or Wireless Rear speakers, you may experience the following:
- Audio System is not playing in DSD format
- SA-CD Hybrid Disc layer not playing
- No audio from the SA-CD disc
Change the Blu-ray Disc™ player settings to make sure that DSD audio is playing from the Audio System:
- Music Settings → Super Audio CD Playback Layer → SUPER AUDIO CD (DEFAULT)
- Audio Settings → Digital Audio Output → AUTO (DEFAULT)
- Audio Settings → DSD Output Mode → AUTO
Note: Older Blu-ray players (before 2000) do not play SA-CD audio discs. Refer to the Does the Blu-ray Disc player play Super Audio CD (SACD) discs? article for more information.
