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. 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.
