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.
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.

Regarding DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW discs
Due to the unique construction of DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs,
leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue
standby) mode at a single point may result in the discs' becom-
ing difficult to play at that place. The same symptom may also
occur if the loop function is used to play back a single point on
the disc excessively.
As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive discs
when playing discs containing important data.
