Note to Consumer: Your Taiyo Yuden DVDs & CDs may look different!

Taiyo Yuden is in the process of moving most of their part numbers to JVC part numbers. Last year Taiyo Yuden purchased JVC's media group and became one, taking advantage of JVC's royalty deals on blank discs. Part of this cost-saving agreement was to change the marketing name of Taiyo to JVC, so they could take advantage of the JVC's more broadly known name. As Taiyo Yuden marked inventory gets sold all Taiyo product will come with the JVC marking. The base product is exactly the same and up to the same quality standards as the Taiyo Yuden.

How can I tell if I have fake or real Taiyo Yuden?

Be careful! There are websites out there offering Taiyo Yuden CDs and DVDs that are not authentic. With the plain boxes and the unmarked discs, Taiyo Yuden discs lend themselves to this ripoff pretty easily. If you’re not familiar with how a Taiyo Yuden disc looks or what the box looks like, you could be paying for something you're not getting.

Here’s how to verify you’ve got authentic Taiyo Yuden:

Make sure the discs are made in Japan. Taiyo Yuden is the only disc manufacturer who is still primarily producing discs in Japan. US Customs is very particular that components like a DVD or CD be marked with their country of origin, so any disc should be clearly marked.

Look for the Taiyo Yuden part number. Taiyo Yuden uses really long part numbers that are hard to mistake. You can verify these part numbers against the item details on the Media Supply product page.

You can verify a disc’s manufacturer by using a Disc Identifier software. These are easy to use and download. A nice little application is DVDInfoPro.
