Menu Sequence
Use the flow chart (Figure 5) or the Control Summary sheet to guide you
through the Menu more quickly.
The following explanation deals with the Menu pages in the sequence they
occur in the Menu
3
. The use of each page is shown on an individual basis, with
the last operation being closing the Menu. After you have become more familiar
with the Menu, you will find it more convenient to perform all the Menu
operations in one go before finally closing the Menu.
SACD/CD
SACD/CDSACD/CD
SACD/CD – Selecting the layer on a hybrid disc
With a hybrid disc loaded or playing (the HYBD indicator will be lit), you can
select either the SACD or the CD layer using this menu. This duplicates the
SACD/CD button on the Remote Control.
do this: Open the Menu and step through until the display shows SACD/CD.
do this: Press the
Select button to flip between SACD or CD.
do this: When you have the option you want, wait for the Menu to time-out and the
display to revert to its normal mode.
If the disc is not a hybrid, the menu will display the disc type but you will not be
able to change the setting.

Transmit – Activating the 1394 Outputs
At present, the IEEE 1394 interface supports up to eight active DSD sources at
any time. If more are connected to the bus, no more than eight may be active.
This situation will improve as industry standards stabilise. The Transmit page
allows Verdi to be left in DSD/SACD output mode but with the 1394 interface
inactive. With most set-ups, you will not have to worry about this setting.
do this: Set up the unit in DSD/SACD mode, with the 1394 interface connected to at
least one other unit.
do this: Open the Menu and step through until the display shows Transmit.
do this: Press the
Select button to flip between Active and Inactive.
do this: When you have the option you want, wait for the Menu to time-out and the
display to revert to its normal mode.

1394 ID – 1394 Source Identification
This page sets a number between 1 and 8 to identify each Verdi you have
connected to the 1394 system.
do this: Open the Menu and step through until the display shows 1394ID:x, where x is a
number between 0 and 8.
do this: Press the
Select button repeatedly, allowing the unit to settle for a few seconds
each time. The display cycles through 1394ID:0, 1394ID:1, ......., 1394ID:7,
1394ID:8, and back to 1394ID:0.
If you set 1394ID:2 for example, when the DAC is selected to this Verdi, it will
display Verdi 2. You can set any other Verdis connected to the 1394 system to
a different number. If you set 1394ID:0, the DAC displays Verdi, without a
number.

A minor software update may change the order of the menu items or add an option. If this happens, the
Control Summary sheet may be updated before the manual.
