Will this play the CD layer of a SACD? null

You must be referring to a hybrid SACD because SACDs (Super Audio Compact Discs) do not have a CD layer that can be played on a DVD optical drive1. However, hybrid SACDs contain both an SACD layer and a standard CD layer, making them compatible with regular CD players1. Non-hybrid SACDs lack a CD layer and require an SACD-compatible player. The CD layer on a hybrid SACD is a normal 2-channel 'Redbook' CD (PCM) layer. This layer can be played on a regular CD/DVD player. The high-resolution tracks are stored in the SACD layer and can only be played on a player that supports SACD. Red Book CD (PCM) layers will play on an optical DVD drive. However, it is important to note that not all CD players may fully comply with the Red Book Standard, so some CD players may not play Red Book CDs, so there is no guarantee that your hybrid SACD discs will play on the LG 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black, Model # BP50NB40...^Ivan.
