You cannot directly record to a DVD-R DL and +R DL disc on this unit.
Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.
When playing DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided)
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double
Layer, single-sided) discs have two writable layers on one
side. If there is not enough space on the first layer to record a
programme, the remainder is recorded on the second layer.
When playing a title recorded on both layers, the unit
automatically switches between layers and plays the title in
the same way as a normal programme.
However, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the
unit is switching layers.
