摘要:
A recording/reproducing device suitably used in recording or reproducing data to/from an optical disk having two recording layers on one surface thereof, and a program. An optical disk having two layers on one surface one unformatted recording film (L0) layer and one formatted recording film (L1) layer, wherein the recording film (L0) layer is formatted by a mark in step S1, the formation of a mark corresponding to record data is started with the recording film (L0) layer first in step S2, and, after the recording film (L0) layer is used up, a mark corresponding to record data is formed on the recording film (L1) layer in step S3. This device can be applied to e.g. DVD players.

The present invention is to realize a proper inner zone layout in a quadruple-layer disk. A test area is provided in the inner zone (inner circumference side area) in each of recording layers. If two test areas closer to the outer circumference, of four test areas, are defined as a first pair and two test areas closer to the inner circumference are defined as a second pair, the test areas of the first pair and the test areas of the second pair are so disposed as to be prevented from overlapping with each other in the layer direction. Two test areas of the first pair have the same consumption direction of the test area, and are so disposed that the areas to be used next hardly overlap with each other in the layer direction. Two test areas of the second pair have the same consumption direction of the test area opposite to the consumption direction of the test area in the first pair, and are so disposed that the areas to be used next hardly overlap with each other in the layer direction.

A method of recording address information by forming grooves wobbled with respect to an optical disk (5), comprising the step S1 of generating address information consisting of a synchronous signal, address data and address data error correction code, the step S2 of generating a phase modulation signal by multiplying a carrier signal by address information, and the step S3 of forming in the optical disk (5) grooves wobbled spirally and according to the phase modulation signal.

An apparatus for reading optical card wherein a light source illuminates an optical card (1) so that data stored in an even number of tracks T in parallel with each other are optically read depending upon the arrangement of optical recording traces, the reflected light is allowed to fall on an optical detector element (10) to read the data, scanning means (31) so controls the light detector element (10) that it scans each track T an even number of times, effective scan detector means (42) detects effective scans capable of reading the data out of the even number of scans over the track T performed by the light detector element (10), and the output signal of the light detector element (10) is extracted for only a period of one scanning of the scanning means (31) by extract means (45) depending upon the detected output, whereby signals that correspond to the optical recording traces exhibits improved contrast, the two neighboring tracks are not read simultaneously, and recorded data are read correctly and stably.
