Notes on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates
DVD recorded material on one side with digital
audio material on the other side. However, since the
audio material side does not conform to the Compact
Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not
guaranteed.

copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently,
