Important Notice About "DualDisc" From Pioneer
Corporation:
To Prevent Product Damage
Dear Customer:
Pioneer has become aware that some pre-recorded hybrid
discs -- which are referred to as "DualDisc" -- have been released in
the market to consumers by some music companies and record labels. These hybrid
discs appear to be a bonded combination of DVD on one side of the disc and non-DVD
(which may incorrectly be referred to as a CD side) on the other side. Pioneer
understands that, although these discs may refer to a CD side, the "non-DVD"
side is not compliant with the Compact Disc Digital Audio specification and does
not bear the CD logo.
Pioneer recommends that consumers not use "DualDisc"
products with any Pioneer products, including CD players, DVD players and
recorders, and computer drives until Pioneer has an opportunity to test them. At
this point in time, Pioneer does not know whether Pioneer products can safely
handle these new hybrid discs, or whether these discs may damage your Pioneer
products.
Pioneer will update this notice based on further
investigation.
