Multi-channel Super Audio CD
Producers also have the option of creating multi-channel Super Audio CDs
that can transport you to the acoustic space of the original recording. You'll hear
the most convincing soundstage ever presented at home. Super Audio CD multi-
channel sound is based on the international standard ITU-R speaker setup. So
it's directly compatible with many of today's home theater speaker systems.
For full compatibility with pure stereo Super Audio CD players, every multi-
channel Super Audio CD includes a complete stereo rendition from the hand of
the producer. You're never at the mercy of a computerized "fold-down" of the
multi-channel mix. You'll always hear the producer's original intent.
