■ Regarding copy-control CDs
This unit is designed to conform with audio CD standards. Op-
eration is not guaranteed when playing CDs produced outside
the normal CD standards.
■ 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/DVD-RW, CD-R/CD-RW discs
Due to the unique construction of DVD-R/DVD-RW and CD-R/
CD-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’ becoming difficult to play at that place. The same symp-
tom 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.
