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.

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the 

Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs 

encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed 

by some record companies. Please be aware that among those 

discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard 

and may not be playable by this product.

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase 

eye hazard.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the 

presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the 

product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient 

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 

persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the 

presence of important operating and maintenance 

(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying 

the appliance.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the 

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable 

protection against harmful interference in a residential 

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate 

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. However, there is no 

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference 

to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to 

try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 

measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 

from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician 

for help.
