Dual Discs

!Dual Discs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the other.

!Since the CD side of Dual Discs is not phy- sically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.

!Frequent loading and ejecting of a Dual Disc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can lead to playback pro- blems on this unit. In some cases, a Dual Disc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using Dual Disc with this unit.

!Please refer to the information from the

disc manufacturer for more detailed infor- mation about Dual Discs.

!	Folder selection sequence or other opera-	English
	tion may be altered depending on the en-
	coding or writing software.

! Regardless of the length of blank section between the songs of original recording, WMA/MP3/WAV discs will play with a short pause between songs.

! File extensions such as .wma, .mp3 or .wav must be used properly.
