Playing DualDisc
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD
for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the
other.
Playback of the DVD side is possible with this product.
However, since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically
compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be
possible to play the CD side with this product.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may result in
scratches to the disc.
Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this
product. In some cases, a DualDisc may become stuck
in the disc-loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this,
we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this
product.
Please refer to the manufacturer for more detailed informa-
tion about DualDiscs.

such problems. All of the data stored on an SD memory
card will be deleted when the card is formatted. Back up any
