摘要:
In order to stably carry out reproduction of information in an optical disc medium (10) using a PRML (partial-response maximum-likelihood) method for reproducing the signal, the optical disc medium (10) has not only a data recording area (14) where data is recorded at high density but also a system information recording area (16) where information is recorded at low density and binary equalizing/reproducing can be easily made. Information required to circuit setting is recorded in the system information recording area.

The numbers of times by which plural types of segments are consecutively arranged are limited, an address reading performance is enhanced and address information is correctly read out based on determination of the number of consecutive segments. A track is divided into physical segments, N (=17) wobble data units of constant length are formed in each physical segment, the wobble data unit (WDU) is defined to include a first unit (P) having a wobble modulation portion in a first half portion, a second unit (S) having a wobble modulation portion in a latter half portion and a third unit (U) having no wobble modulation portion, and the physical segment is defined to have segment types (TYPE 1, 2, 3) which each include the third unit (U) in a certain area thereof without fail and respectively include the first, second and a combination of the first and second units in the remaining areas. In the arrangement on the track, a lower-limit number of times M1 by which the first and second types (TYPE1, TYPE2) are consecutively arranged and an upper-limit number of times M2 by which the second types (TYPE2) are consecutively arranged are limited and the first type (TYPE1) and the second type (TYPE2) are respectively arranged immediately before and after the third type (TYPE3).

An information storage medium (1) has tracks in which information is recorded. The tracks are formed as a groove section (2) and a land section (3). The groove section (2) has a synchronous structure in which wobbles (2a) and (2b) formed on both walls of the groove section (2) are not displaced from each other in the circumferential direction of the medium, and the land section (3) has an asynchronous structure in which wobbles formed on both sides of the land section (3) are displaced from each other. A good signal is reproduced from each of the groove and land sections.

An attempt is made to make it possible to efficiently perform the finalizing process and closing process in a short period of time. When the border closing or finalizing process is performed after user data is recorded, latest recording management data (RMD) is recorded in a recording management data duplication zone (RDZ) of a data lead-in area, latest recording management data (RMD) is recorded in an unrecorded area of a present recording management zone (RMZ) and R physical format information (R-PFI) is recorded in an R physical format information zone (R-PFIZ) in a first step and a padding process is performed for at least a discontinuous area in the data area and a border-out is lastly recorded in a second step.

An attempt is made to make it possible to efficiently perform the finalizing process and closing process in a short period of time and securely manage the last address of a border-out. When the border closing or finalizing process is performed after user data is recorded, a padding process is performed for at least a discontinuous area in the data area and a border-out is lastly recorded in a first step. Then, in a second step, latest recording management data (RMD) is recorded in a recording management data duplication zone (RDZ) of a data lead-in area, latest recording management data (RMD) is recorded in an unrecorded area of a present recording management zone (RMZ) and R physical format information (R-PFI) is recorded in an R physical format information zone (R-PFIZ).
摘要:
A recording data string is composed of a plurality of synchronous frames each of which has synchronous data and coding data. Data items in the coding data contributed to creation of the same column of the error correction code are arranged at regular intervals of E in the recording data string. A data segment length L is obtained by adding an additional synchronous frame to the recording data string. Wherein, a physical segment length A satisfies the equation L=mA, m is a natural number. And A is set indivisible by E.

Header regions are formed by dividing a groove or grooves. Each of the header regions is provided with two ID sections G-ID1, G-ID2 storing address information and a track center detection mark section, arranged between the two ID sections, so as to be used for detecting the track center.

An information recording medium has a recording track, a plurality of address areas which are formed on the recording track and record address information, and mark areas, the number of which is larger than the number of address areas, and which are formed at predetermined intervals and include mark information. Each address area records address information by means of pits, and each mark area records mark information by means of wobbles as a part of a track boundary.
摘要:
A signal can be detected based on a level slice system and detection delay time can be reduced by setting the recording density of a header field in a linear direction lower (coarse) than that of a user data recording field. Further, a signal can be detected based on the level slice system and detection delay time can be reduced by using a mark position form having a large detection margin as an information recording system of the header field. A readout error of a sector number due to a detection error is compensated for by recording address marks AM for attaining byte synchronization of the header field in both of a head portion and tail portion of information recorded in the header field.
