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 DVD side of a DualDisc will be played on this player (excluding
any DVD-Audio content).
The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compatible with this
player.
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.
For more detailed information on the DualDisc specification, please
refer to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer.

on the disc, dirt on the player’s lens, condensation and so on.)
• It may not be possible to play discs recorded using a computer
due to the application settings or environment. Record discs in
the proper format. For details, contact the dealer.
