Abstract: A Cayley digraph $mCay(G,S)$ of a group $G$ with respect to a subset $S$ of $G$ is called a CI-digraph if for any Cayley digraph $mCay(G,T)$ isomorphic to $mCay(G,S)$, there is an $alphainmAut(G)$ such that $S^{a}lpha=T$. For a positive integer $m$, $G$ is said to have the $m$-DCI property if all Cayley digraphs of $G$ with out-valency $m$ are CI-digraphs. Li [The Cyclic groups with the $m$-DCI Property, European J. Combin. 18 (1997) 655-665] characterized cyclic groups with the $m$-DCI property, and in this paper, we characterize dihedral groups with the $m$-DCI property. For a dihedral group $mathrm{D}_{2n}$ of order $2n$, assume that $mathrm{D}_{2n}$ has the $m$-DCI property for some $1leqmleqn-1$. Then it is shown that $n$ is odd, and if further $p+1leqmleqn-1$ for an odd prime divisor $p$ of $n$, then $p^{2}midn$. Furthermore, if $n$ is a power of a prime $q$, then $mathrm{D}_{2n}$ has the $m$-DCI property if and only if either $n=q$, or $q$ is odd and $1leqmleqq$.
