Dual layer pause when playing DVD's?

Hi,

I was wondering if the NAD T532 or T533 makes a slight pause when playing a Dual layer DVD?

Thanks for all your inputs.

I could be wrong though as i'm not much of a vidiot : ) Sean >

The buffer has enough storage capacity to at least minimize and normally remove any major delays or glitches that would normally occur during the layer change.
