disc in the Play Deck 3, a DISC
ERROR message will appear to remind you
to play the disc in the other deck.

deck in use.
When there is a disc in each deck, the player

other deck. For complete information on Dual-
Deck and Dual-Play operation, see page 17.

discs from the decks by following the instruc-
tions shown on the previous page. Do not leave
the disc drawers open when the unit is not
