You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the
discs and you may not be able to play them due to the condition
of the recording.
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
fi rst 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.
