 A DualDisc is a dual-sided disc that combines a DVD side and an audio side.
Note that the audio side is not guaranteed to play because this type of disc
does not conform to the specifications required for an audio Compact Disc
(CD).
 If a device that is not compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) standard is connected to the system using an HDMI cable,
video or audio cannot be output from the system.
 When you use the AV MULTI OUT connector of the system to connect to a TV,
copyright-protected video from a BD or from video files may be output at
resolutions lower than 1080p. Also, these types of video will be output at
resolutions of 576p or lower if recorded at 1080i (50 Hz) or 720p (50 Hz).
 When playing discs with content that was copied fraudulently, abnormal sounds
may be produced or the content may not play correctly.
 To continuously enjoy playback of copyright-protected BDs, in some cases the
encryption key for AACS (Advanced Access Control System) may need to be
renewed. To renew the encryption key, the system must be updated.
 Some discs may not be playable due to scratches, dust, the quality of
recording, or the characteristics of the recording device.
 In rare instances, CDs, DVDs, BDs and other media may not operate properly
when played on the PS3™ system. This is primarily due to variations in the
manufacturing process or encoding of the software.
