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