disc in order that it can be read by other DVD+R compatible players. Closing a DVD+R disc is
described in detail below. If you do not close a DVD+R disc, it will still be possible to make
other recordings on it later on, providing there is enough disc space.You can therefore safely
store it.You can also erase recordings, but you will lose the corresponding recording time
which cannot be used to record other titles.
