The dynamics of tilted vortex lines in Josephson-coupled layered superconductors is considered within the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory. The frequency and angular dependences of the complex-valued vortex mobility {mu} are studied. The components of the viscosity and inertial mass tensors are found to increase essentially for magnetic field orientations close to the layers. For superconducting/normal metal multilayers the frequency ({omega}) range is shown to exist where the {mu}{sup {minus}1} value depends logarithmically on {omega}. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
