07_TL_Type_S

Hey, couldn't find this in the forums but does anyone know if this format works in the new TL-S ? There's quite a few assortment of these at Best Buy next to the DVD-A's.

Thx

An SACD will only play if it is a hybrid SACD, and it will play as an ordinary "Red Book" CD (no multichannel and no high-rez playback). Check the label to see if it says "HYBRID" in big letters. If so, then it's OK for the TL. But unless you have a player at home that can handle SACDs, you'll realize no advantage over a standard CD.

Some of them were Hybrid-thanks.

Too bad the DVD-A's didn't display the track list like MP3's do

Don't know what you mean about MP3s.

Starting with the '07 TL, MP3 support is standard. I am assuming that the upgraded head unit shows a list of the MP3 files and 07_TL_Type_S commented that, unfortunately, this does not apply to DVD-A tracks.

A few more threads on SACDs:

Thanks. Not something that would matter to me since I have an '04 and since I don't use MP3 stuff anyway, but it is good to know about what features are out there. It's rather amusing to me that a manufacturer that elected to support DVD-Audio (a decidedly high-end format) would choose to support a crap low-end format like MP3. It's just funny to me that they chose to include two features that are at such opposite ends of the spectrum.
