摘要:
Where a hybrid disc has different types of media, the light spot moves among recording layers of the different media, after loading the disc into an optical disc apparatus, there is a problem that information on a media type of each recording layer should be recorded in DI etc. of the optical disc (100). Detailed information on the hybrid disc is stored in DI, by changing a disc layer type identifier or a disc structure in DI such as BCA or PIC on the optical disc (100).

摘要:
A multi-layered optical disk has three or more recordable or rewritable information recording layers including at least a first recording layer and a second recording layer located on the side nearer to the light incident surface than the first recording layer, a first test area configured by a plurality of segments in the first recording layer and a second test area configured by a plurality of segments in the second recording layer. The disk further has a specific area in which there is recorded information used to determine whether or not the respective segments in the first test area can be used. The purpose of this arrangement is to enable recording in securing sufficient test areas without reducing user data areas, and suitably controlling the power of laser beam irradiated onto each of the layers. It is thereby possible to improve the quality of recording and the reliability of the recorded data.
摘要:
To provide a recording method of a multilayered optical disk having three or more recording layers, for performing recording while securing sufficient test areas without reducing user data areas, and while suitably controlling the power of laser beam irradiated onto each of the layers. The method uses an optical disk which has at least a first recording layer and a second recording layer located on the side nearer to the light incident surface than the first recording layer, and which respectively has a first test area configured by a plurality of segments in the first recording layer and a second test area configured by a plurality of segments in the second recording layer. Further, the method is configured such that there is defined beforehand a predetermined radial distance L corresponding to relative precision of radial positions between the plurality of layers and the optical spot diameter, and that when an arbitrary segment in the second test area is test-recorded, a segment in the first test area, the radial distance of which from the recorded test area in the second test area is within the range of the predetermined radial distance L, is set as a segment in which the test recording is not performed. Thereby, even in the case where the radial positions of the test areas of the plurality of layers are substantially overlapped with each other, it is possible to precisely perform the learning of optical power. For this reason, it is possible to use and arrange the test areas of the plurality of layers without waste. Further, the learning of recording power can be performed without receiving the influence of the recorded state of the other layers, so that the accuracy of the learning of recording power can be improved. Thereby, it is possible to improve the quality of recording and the reliability of recorded data.
