New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

This is a known issue with dual discs

This is from the Denon website and I have seen similar "warnings" from other manufacturers:

************************
"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."

This is from the columbia house website:

"The DVD side plays wherever a DVD plays - including many gaming consoles and computers. In a PC, the DVD side acts like a DVD-ROM on DualDiscs that include computer extras and Web links. The CD side plays on all but a limited number of CD and DVD models."

They may be taking a little liberty with their "limited number" comment.
