A demonstration was held at the end of the replication line, picked up DL disc randomly and played on the BD ready VAIO Type R PC. Not only 1st layer but also second layer played flawlessly. Demonstrated title was "The Bridge on The River KWAI".
According to Sony, the yield ratio of the line is "around 85% for SL and 80% for DL". It is said that DVD's number is 90% to 95% in this facility, there is more room to be improved.
