HDCD compatible?


What does this term mean? I'm looking at a cd player which is described as HDCD compatible with onboard HDCD decoders. Does this mean that it will play HDCD discs in HDCD or just play them in redbook like players that only play the redbook layer of the sacd hybrids?

Thanks. The cdp I was referring to is the 5 disc marantz vc 6001. Does anyone know specifically what compatible means as it applies to this particular player? The Grateful Dead still release all their vintage live shows in HDCD and that alone is reason enough for me to need it. Thanks for all of the informed responses guys.
