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.
