Dual Disks?

Dual Disks?
Anyone try to play the "dual disks" on their 3G TL? I can get the CD side to play, but not the 5.1 side to play. I keep getting "Format Error".
According to the packaging, the dual disks play in any CD/DVD players.

I've not had any problems reading the CD sides of them but haven't had the need for the 5.1 side because my deck doesn't support it. Alpine had a bulletin I received at work a few months back though that said they didn't do any testing with DualDisc & that they couldn't guarantee that it would work in their players at all.

cars like the tl support dvd-audio for 5.1 channel sound ... some DualDiscs, namely some by Sony who supports the competing SACD format, so their dualdisc might have cd on one side, and a dvd-video on the other side with just an audio track. a 5.1 audio track on a dvd-video disc is not the same as a dvd-audio disc, so sometimes that's the issue...

Thanks, guys. So, I guess the real answer is, no matter what the dual disk case says, the TL can not play the multi-channel side. That sucks. I figured since the case said it could be played in all CD/DVD players refers only to the CD side of it. Even if there were video in the multi-channel side, I thought that it would at least play the audio portion in multi-channel. Kind of mis-leading from the dis manufacturers.
