Additional Information
! 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

Serious scratches can lead to playback pro-

slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we
recommend you refrain from using Dual

mation about Dual Discs.
