A disk-shaped recording medium includes a transparent substrate, and an optical recording layer formed on the transparent substrate. A light source emits light. An optical head is operative for applying the light to the optical recording layer from the light source via the transparent substrate, for focusing the light on the optical recording layer, and for reproducing information from the optical recording layer. A position detecting device is operative for detecting at least one of a pit depth and a physical position of information which has a first given relation with a specified address and which is recorded on the recording medium, and for generating first positional information representing at least one of the pit depth and the physical position. A previously-recorded secret code is reproduced from the recording medium. The secret code represents second positional information. The secret code is decoded into the second positional information. The second positional information represents at least one of a predetermined reference pit depth and a predetermined reference physical position. The first positional information and the second positional information are collated, and a check is made as to whether or not the first positional information and the second positional information are in a second given relation. When the first positional information and the second positional information are not in the second given relation, one of outputting of a reproduced signal of the recording medium, operation of a program stored in the recording medium, and decoding of the secret code is stopped.

A magneto-optical record/reproduce apparatus utilizes a magneto-optical record medium having a surface on which a record area and a non-record area are defined, the non-record area having a lower friction than that of the record area. The apparatus includes a record/read head disposed in the vicinity of the surface of the magneto-optical record medium, the record/read head being moved away from the magneto-optical record medium during a running state of the magneto-optical record medium for recording or reading information, the record/read head being in contact with the magneto-optical record medium during a stop state of the magneto-optical record medium after terminating the recording or reading of the information, a termination detect section for detecting a termination of the recording/reading of the information related to the magneto-optical record medium, and for outputting a termination detect signal, and a move device for moving the record/read head to a position facing the non-record area based on the termination detect signal from the termination detect section.

In a "piggy-back" head support system, a fine actuator which carries the head (lens or transducer) is controlled to move the head. A coarse actuator or headarm movably supports the fine actuator and is mounted on a frame for movement radially of the signal storage disk. The head scans tracks on the disk. A servo actuates the coarse actuator to follow the movements of the fine actuator. In a seek, the fine coarse actuator may not be able to follow the fine actuator resulting in the fine actuator hitting a safety stop. When this happens, seek errors occur. According to the invention, the relative displacement of the fine actuator with respect to the coarse actuator is limited during predetermined portions of a seek operation, i.e., the high speed accelerate and decelerate portions.

A disk recording and reproducing device records and reproduces information on and from a magneto-optical disk having 3 3 and there is TOC (Table of Contents) area. Additional information with respect to each piece of the information recorded in the information recording area is recorded in the TOC. The device includes operation keys, a TOC memory for storing read/write control information for desired pieces of information entered through the operation keys. There is an optical head and a magnetic coil for recording, in the TOC area, the contents stored in the TOC memory as additional information. A controller controls the read/write operation to the disk according to the read/write control information. With the arrangement, a user can recognize necessary/unnecessary information and defective parts in the disk, and therefore make effective use thereof as well as maintaining secrecy of the information.
