In Reply to: Hey, the CD layer of DualDiscs are crap!!! posted by Christine Tham on August 3, 2005 at 05:08:46:
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 Standardâ€, 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 Standardâ€. 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.
