Using DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL discs

DVD-R DL (Dual-Layer) and DVD+R DL
(Double-Layer) discs contain two recordable
layers on a single side, giving about 1.8
times the recording capacity of a
conventional single-layer disc. This unit can
record to both DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL
discs.

• If you intend to play DVD-R DL (Video

mode) or DVD+R DL discs recorded on
this unit on other DVD recorders/players,
you must finalize them. (Note that some
DVD recorders/players may not play
even finalized DL discs.)

About DualDisc playback

A DualDisc is a new two -sided disc, one side
of which contains DVD content –video,
audio, etc. –while the other side contains
non-DVD content such as digital audio
material.

The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not
compliant with the CD Audio specification
and therefore may not play.

It is possible that when loading or ejecting a
DualDisc, the opposite side to that being
played will be scratched. Scratched discs
may not be playable.

The DVD side of a DualDisc plays in this
product. DVD-Audio content will not play.

For more detailed information on the
DualDisc specification, please refer to the
disc manufacturer or disc retailer.
