AYRE C-5xe - Manual (Page 5)

Overview and
Introduction
To provide the highest possible
level of audio performance,
there is no video circuitry in
the C-5xe MP .
The Ayre C-5xe MP is a universal stereo player. It
plays all currently available audio disc formats,
including CD, SACD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video
(soundtrack only), and MP3.
The C-5xe MP offers both stereo analog and PCM
digital outputs. Multi-channel discs may also be
played. In the case of multi-channel SACDs, the
C-5xe
MP will automatically select the two-channel
area that is included on virtually all multi-channel
SACDs. In the case of multi-channel tracks that may
be present on DVD-Audio or DVD-Video discs, the
C-5xe
MP will automatically down-mix to stereo.
For the foreseeable future CD
will continue to be the
dominant format, with a wide
variety of titles available in
all musical genres.
Thanks to its advanced technological features, the
C-5xe
MP will extract the full measure of performance
from all digital audio formats, including CD,
maximizing your musical enjoyment, both now and
into the future.
