Using Dual Layer DVD-R Discs

Dual Layer DVD-R discs contain two recordable layers on a single side. This unit is capable of recording
to Dual Layer DVD-R discs in Video mode. As a result, you can record up to approximately 1.8x more
material than with conventional DVD-R discs. In addition, record, playback and copy functions can all
be performed in the same way as with conventional discs. However, in order to use Dual Layer DVD-R
discs properly, we recommend that you read the following notes regarding disc usage.

• Dual Layer DVD-R disc technology is a new standard approved by DVD Forum in February 2005.
