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.
•If you intend to play back Dual Layer DVD-R discs recorded on this unit in other DVD recorders/players, you must finalize the discs. (Even so, discs may not be played back on some DVD recorders/players.)
