Note on DualDisc
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not guaranteed.

About the Super Audio CD
Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio
disc standard where music is recorded in the
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format
(conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM
format). The DSD format, using a sampling
frequency 64 times higher than that of a
conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,
achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide
dynamic range across the audible frequency
range, and so provides music reproduction
extremely faithful to the original sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on the
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer
combination.
• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density
signal layer for Super Audio CD
• CD layer 1) : A layer that is readable by a
conventional CD player
A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2
channel area or the multi-channel area.
• 2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel
stereo tracks are recorded
• Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-
channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are
recorded
1) You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD
player.
2)
Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary
to turn the disc over.
