DualDisc is a two-sided disc made up of a CD on one side and a DVD on the other. In addition to
a full album on the CD side, the DVD side often provides the entire album in surround sound and
also includes a wide range of special features such as music videos, interviews, photo galleries,
Web links, concert footage and lyrics. By combining video, surround sound and Web connectivity in a
single disc, labels and artists have a new dimension in creating a listening experience. DualDisc
adds an exciting new dimension to the consumer's musical experience. DualDisc is compatible with
nearly any device that can currently play a CD or a DVD, including home stereo systems, portable
disc players, car stereos, game consoles or PCs. Sony DADC offers DualDisc capacities both in
