SACD/Audio CD is not recognised by DVD player

AI Thread Summary
The issue involves a CD that features both SACD and standard Audio CD layers, which is not recognized by an older DVD player, displaying a 'NO DISC' message. However, the CD plays successfully on a computer. Possible solutions include cleaning the DVD player's lens, as older players may struggle with certain discs due to dirt or wear. There is also a lack of understanding regarding the technical differences between SACD and standard audio formats, which may contribute to compatibility issues with older equipment.

I just bought a CD which is primarily the SACD version but which also contains the usual Audio CD layer, so that it should also be playable in normal players. I inserted it into the DVD player (it's what I usually use to listen to CDs), but the CD is not recognised. I get a 'NO DISC' on the display. I can play it in my computer, though.

Any suggestions?

If the player is old it might just be a simple issue of a dirty lens. One I had would play everything except this one DVD which was brand new that it wouldn't recognise. I cleaned it (for the first time after many years) and it worked fine.

Other than that I have no idea since I don't know what the technical differences are with SACD and normal audio.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
