摘要:
In an optical disc (100) having a plurality of recording layers, layer specifying information is recorded for specifying a recording layer to be run first when the optical disc (100) is inserted into an optical disc device (1) which carries out recording or reproduction of information with respect to the optical disc (100). Therefore, a recording layer intended by at least a disc supplier can be run first. In the optical disc (100) including an L1 layer which is a read-only recording layer and an L0 layer which is a recordable layer, layer specifying information for specifying the L0 layer in priority to the L1 layer is recorded as the information recording layer to be run first when the optical disc (100) is inserted into the optical disc device (1) which carries out recording or reproduction of information with respect to the optical disc (100).

In an optical information storage medium reproduction apparatus (10) for reproducing an optical information storage medium including a plurality of information recording layers each including a recording mark having a length shorter than an optical system resolution limit, reproduction laser power for reading an information recording layer closest to a reproduction-laser-incident surface of the optical information storage medium is set to be lower than reproduction laser power for reading an information recording layer farthest from the reproduction-laser-incident surface but not lower than minimum reproduction laser power that satisfies a reproduction signal characteristic that the optical information storage medium reproduction apparatus (10) requires. With the arrangement, it is possible to prevent that the information recording layer closest to the reproduction-laser-incident surface is irradiated wrongly with reproduction laser having high reproduction laser power, thereby making it possible to obtain successful reproduction quality. That is, it is possible to realize the optical information storage medium reproduction apparatus (10) that can set optimum reproduction laser power and perform stable super resolution reproduction.

摘要:
A recording parameter setting device includes a trial recording parameter setting section (23) and a reproduced signal quality judging section (26). The trial recording parameter setting section (23) inquires, in accordance with the recording information, a storage section (3) containing recording parameters used for controlling heat of recording marks, and sets a trial recording parameter, wherein (a) the recording parameters are used for controlling heat of at least rear edges, (b) the recording parameters are classified in accordance with recording mark lengths, and (c) recording parameters of a predetermined recording mark length or longer are classified into a same group. The reproduced signal quality judging section (26) judges whether or not a reproduced signal obtained by reproduction of the trial recording carried out in accordance with the trial recording parameter satisfies a predetermined reproduced signal quality. If no, the recording parameters of the predetermined recording mark length or longer are further classified into detailed groups and trial recording is carried out again. If the reproduced signal satisfies the predetermined reproduced signal quality, the reproduced signal quality judging section (26) sets the trial recording parameters as a recording parameter. This makes it possible to form a recording mark capable of surely providing a good reproduced signal quality while the number of recording parameters to be used is reduced.

摘要:
A recording pulse condition for obtaining a reproduction result which fulfills predetermined signal quality is sought by performing testwrite and reproduction after uniformly changing predetermined recording pulse conditions corresponding to all mark lengths (S1, S2). If good result is not obtained, a recording pulse condition for obtaining a reproduction result which fulfills predetermined signal quality is sought by performing testwrite and reproduction after changing a predetermined recording pulse condition corresponding to at least one mark length (S4, S5). Then, a recording pulse condition is determined (S3). Thus provided are method and apparatus for efficiently setting such a recording condition that can reduce the influence of difference in characteristics of writable optical disks and difference in characteristics of optical recording and reproducing apparatuses, and to provide a recording and reproducing apparatus.
