Abstract
An optical recording apparatus includes a CD-R drive which writes data to a CD-R. A close session processor performs session closing in order to enable a CD-ROM drive, which is only capable of reading data, to read information written to the CD-R. An LCD panel displays information concerning session closing performed by the close session processor. A control unit causes the LCD panel to display the information concerning session closing based on whether session closing has been performed by the close session processor.
