what sort of problems are you having? i'm interested to know, as i've been too chicken to play any dualdiscs in my player.Martin419 claims he's never had any problems on his Denon 5900, so i'm interested in your experiences.

> > Martin419 claims he's never had any problems on his Denon 5900 < <That's not correct. Martin has admitted that he cannot play the "CD" side of DualDiscs on his Denon. Of course, he has also said that he does not want to play the "CD" side, so to him the issue is moot.
> > Martin has admitted that he cannot play the "CD" side of DualDiscs on his Denon. < <Yep -- that is indeed correct. My -5900 is the only machine I've used which has issues with the CD side. But it's also the same machine with which I enjoy the 5.1 DVD-A side of my DualDiscs, and it's the 'reason' I bought the DualDiscs in the first place.
"what sort of problems are you having?"
the CD side is supposedly out of spec, but the DVD side is in spec.I've had problems reading the CD side from about halfway into the disc on the DVD drive on my HTPC, and problems reading at least one disc on the DVD side on my laptop. i don't know if the probblem reading the DVD side is weight related (since the motor on the laptop drive must be extremely small).
The skipping is on the CD side when played in my 2900. I've yet to buy a Dual Disc that will play (CD Side) in my car's cd player.
Best advice is to make a CD-R backup of the CD side, and use that in your car. That way you can keep your hirez titles beside your 5.1 setup at home, without fear of dust etc. from your car interior damaging your prized hirez music.FWIW, my Audi 6-CD changer has no problems with CD side of DualDiscs. Neither does my:- Aiwa 'discman'; Technics CD player; Panasonic CD/DVD boombox; and also my Sony Playstation 2 -- new slim version.
