I have had this unit for a couple of months. Burned a few DVD+R DL and did a quick play test and they were picked up just fine. Didn't realize till later that I had problems after getting into the 2nd layer (further into the movie). Skipping becomes a major problem. Does not play the 2nd layer on DVD+R DL (that is my impression at this point)

A 'quick' call to pioneer customer service (they will only answer in person if you claim not to have internet access, 1-800-421-1404 options 2, 3, 1, 2) generated a response that no, neither the DV-410V-K nor DV-49AV are designed to play DVD+R DL disks. Virtually all other media (R/RW, +/-, SL/DL) should play, but not that particular one. A pity really, nearly perfect in every other regard.

We have played DVD+R and DVD-R dual layer on this unit with no problems. We usually record 16x media at 4x for best quality.

I do not know if it will play these disks. I have never tried to play any type of audio disc on it, only out of region DVDs is all I use it for.

Hi, I've played reg. 2 (inc. Japan) , 3 (Asia), and 4 DVDs. The reg. 3 may have been DVD-Rs primarily. Note: Sometimes commercial DVDs have chips that prevent playing them in your laptop but they'll play in a multi-region DVD player or vice versa. So it's hard to make a complete generalization.I like this DVD player. A simple, plug and play that's given me no trouble. Good luck.

Mine plays DVD movies but it doesn't play CDs or software CDs.. weird huh. I updated with the newest firmware but still doing the same. Anybody know what is going on? Please help. Thanks

I have made DVDs that play on other players. You need to make sure the setup is done properly, selecting the aspect ratio and DVD compatible for the sound. Also, you need to finalize the disk after you are done recording (P. 122 in my manual). Finally, make sure you use compatible media. I have used DVD-R successfully. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I have never tried to play a dvd that I recorded myself. It seems like the process should be the same as the motion picture companies use to create dvds so my guess is that the player should read them.

According to the operating instructions that came with the player, the BD-ROM region is A, and the DVD region is 1, so I believe it will not play any disk. I hope this answers the question.

okay, from my experience, you can play DVDs, CDs and burn CDs - I have not yet tried to burn a DVD. It has worked very well for me so far!

My player worked fine for 8 months; now, however, it doesn't play any dvd. The screen message is "invalid disk"I have reset the default settings, and checked the connections. any suggestions?

I read the other answers that stated the disc is a blu-ray and I have to disagree with that. The disc says it is for blu ray players but it is still a regular dvd. I used it in a non blu ray dvd player, and it worked, a blu-ray disc cannot be read by a dvd only player.

I have played DVDs, Blu-Ray DVDS, and 3D Blu-Ray Disk, I have not tried CD-R/RW Disk ( Manual says will play these CD's)

If by "DL" you mean a standard, dual-layer DVD (not Blu-Ray), heck yes, of course it plays them -- it has to, because nearly all feature films on DVD are dual-layer. Florence B., where do you get your information from?

They are the same quality but different format (DVD-R vs DVD+R). The DVD-R was first so it is compatible with more older DVD players, while the DVD+R usually supports a faster write speed and some think a more reliable format. I've had good luck with both of these products.

Hi Christopher, this Sony DVDirect express only supports DVD+R and DVD-R. DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs are not supported. Double/dual layer discs and 8cm discs are also not supported. Hope this helps. -Ely
