QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
1) What is "DualDisc"?
“DualDisc” is a two sided disc which appears to be a bonded combination of DVD on one side of the disc and non-DVD (which may incorrectly be referred to as a CD side) on the other side of the disc. “DualDisc” is similar in size to a DVD and CD. The DVD side of the “DualDisc” offers DVD video and/or DVD audio content which may include many of the features currently found in DVD discs including enhanced audio; 5.1 surround sound, music videos and other material produced by the recording artist or label. The non-DVD side of the “DualDisc” delivers the 2 channel recording; however it does not meet the Compact Disc Digital Audio Specification and therefore does not bear the CD logo.

3) Will the non-DVD side (audio side) of the “DualDisc” play on Denon CD players/changers and recorders, DVD players/changers, universal players and SACD/CD players?
Not always. Since the audio side of the DualDisc does not meet the Compact Disc Digital Audio specifications found in the industry “Redbook Standard”, the data constituting the audio portion of the disc may not be read by some CD players/changers and recorders, DVD players/changers, universal players and Super Audio CD players. Even though the audio side does not meet the Compact Disc Digital Audio specification, some Denon CD players/changers and recorders, DVD players/changers, universal players and Super Audio CD players may read and interpret the audio side of the disc while others may not. The non-DVD side (audio side) of a “DualDisc” will be not able to play in a slot-type DJ or car audio players. Also, the non DVD side of “DualDisc" may become scratched or abraded with attempted playback in slot-type CD players.

4) Will Denon modify my CD players/changers and recorders, DVD players/changers, universal players and SACD/CD players that cannot playback either side of a “DualDisc”?
No. The CD players/changers and recorders, DVD players/changers, universal players or Super Audio CD players manufactured by Denon were designed to meet the Compact Disc Digital Audio and DVD Forum specifications. Since the non-DVD side (audio side) of the “DualDisc” does not meet the Compact Disc Digital Audio specification found in the industry “Redbook Standard”. Denon is not in a position to modify its players to allow them to play back this new type of disc.
