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.
Older models of DVD recorders and DVD writers may
reject DVD-RW Ver. 1.2 / 4x discs. If you want to share
DVD-RW discs between this recorder and an older
recorder/writer, we recommend using Ver. 1.1 discs.
The following table shows older Pioneer DVD recorder
compatibility with DVD-RW Ver. 1.2 / 4x discs.
