SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the issue of a DVD player not recognizing a CD that contains both SACD and Audio CD layers. The user experiences a 'NO DISC' error on the DVD player while the CD plays successfully on a computer. Suggestions include checking for a dirty lens, as older players may struggle with certain discs due to accumulated dust. Cleaning the lens can resolve recognition issues, as evidenced by a previous experience shared in the discussion.

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.
