About DualDisc playback

A DualDisc is a new two -sided disc, one side of which
contains DVD content –video, audio, etc. –while the other
side contains non-DVD content such as digital audio
material.

The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compliant with
the CD Audio specification and therefore may not play.

It is possible that when loading or ejecting a DualDisc,
the opposite side to that being played will be scratched.
Scratched discs may not be playable.

The DVD side of a DualDisc plays in this product. DVD-
Audio content will not play.

For more detailed information on the DualDisc
specification, please refer to the disc manufacturer or
disc retailer.
