DualDisc Disclaimer
DualDisc carries the DVD logo and complies with DVD layer specifications. While the DualDisc CD audio side has been designed to play on almost all existing CD players, it does not technically meet the CD specification and accordingly, does not use the CD logo.
DualDisc has been tested by independent third parties across a wide range of models and devices with results consistent with other new disc products. As of April 2005, there have been millions of DualDiscs available in the marketplace with almost no consumer complaints.
DualDisc packages must carry a disclaimer regarding the DualDiscâ€™s playability and compliance with existing disc specifications.
Each individual label company must decide on the specific wording of the disclaimer on its product.
Below is one example of a disclaimer carried on the back of the DualDisc package:
The audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specifications and therefore not all DVD and CD players will play the audio side of this disc.

Note in particular: "it does not technically meet the CD specification". So much for Daedalus yelling on and on about DualDiscs conforming to specs.
Note also the comment about: "DualDisc has been tested by independent third parties". Yeah, right, that's about as credible as Microsoft claiming Windows has a lower TCO than Linux, according to "independent third parties." If it has been so thoroughly tested, why have nearly all the manufacturers rushed in with disclaimers and warnigs?
