Playability of Super Audio CDs
The system plays only standard CD audio tracks on a hybrid SACD disc. Hybrid discs contain both the SACD and standard CD formats.
If the SACD disc is not a hybrid, you need a dedicated SACD player. Connect this player to the Bose system using the stereo inputs or AUX IN. Since the Bose system does not have multi-channel input jacks, the sound from the SACD player will be delivered in stereo.

Playability of DualDisc CD/DVDs
The CD side of a DualDisc does not conform to the Phillips and Sony Red Book audio CD standards. DualDiscs are not allowed to display the CD logo. The CD side of the DualDisc may not play consistently or at all due to the fact that the CD layer is thinner than the standard. Most DualDiscs contain one of two warnings:
The 1.5 mm-thick DualDisc is .3mm thicker than a conventional CD, which may not load or eject properly in a slot-loading CD player.
- "This disc is intended to play on standard DVD and CD players. It may not play on certain car, slot-load players and mega-disc changers"
- "The audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specifications and therefore not all DVD and CD players will play the audio side of this disc"
