laser product. Do not operate if the cover 
is damaged, otherwise severe eye damage can 
result.<

and can cause irreparable damage to the 
device.

However, many audio DVDs available in stores 
also contain a video track in the DVD Video for-
mat in addition to the audio track. These DVDs 
can be played back by the DVD player. Please 
refer to the information on your DVD to deter-mine whether your audio DVD contains an addi-
tional video track. Depending on the authoring 
used, it is possible that not all functions are 
available during playback.
Dual-sided DVDs available from retail suppliers 
are coated on both sides and bear no markings. 
This means both sides are information carriers. 
To play the information on the other side, turn 
over the DVD.
