User data is recorded in succession to the recording of a guard block on a next recording layer when the user data is recorded with a recording position shifted from one recording layer to the next recording layer. If a record start position of the user data is learned beforehand in the next recording layer, the guard block is formed on the next recording layer prior to the recording of the user data. In other words, when recording layer shifting is performed, an area ahead of the recording position of the user data becomes the guard block so that a replay signal for use in a pre-replay process is obtained beforehand in the replaying of the user data.
