Re: Preemphasis Prohibited

The use of "preemphasis" is strictly prohibited, regardless of whether an SCSP is used. (Mandatory)

Reason:

In the Saturn, the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) at the final level controls the emphasis.
Therefore, when a preemphasized CD-DA is played, the sound output from the SCSP is also deemphasized.
