About playing DualDiscs

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 can 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.

It may not be possible to play discs recorded using a computer or a BD/DVD recorder, if burn quality is not good due to characteristics of the disc, scratches, dirt on the disc, dirt on the recorder’s lens, etc.
