Using Double-Layer Technology and Media

(Select models only)
Double-layer media means you can record on two
"layers" of one side of a DVD. Double-layer
technology uses two thin, embedded, organic dye
films for data storage separated by a spacer layer.
Each layer has different optical properties.
General information about double-layer DVD+R
discs:
You can record 3 hours of DVD-quality video
■
or 6 hours of VHS-quality video, without
turning over the disc.
This disc can hold up to 8.5 GB (about the

standard storage capacity of 4.7 GB for the
single-layer DVD+R discs currently available.
