They should read SACDs. But they are getting up in years and a significant fraction now have tracking errors with SACDs. I forgot what manual it was in but there is a setup /diagnosis screen where you can set it to automatically adjust itself to track correctly. You should do a search and find out how successful this is.
There are settings on the player where it will read either the SACD layer or the CD layer of an SACD. Make sure it is set to SACD if that is what you want
I did the on screen settings to have it read the SACD layer and it still would default to the redbook layer. The machine is not in use right now as I have an OPPO to use, but I may want to use it in a different system....
