Optical recording medium having a plurality of guide tracks transfer regions

摘要

A recording medium has a recording layer capable of be performed in recording or reproducing of information with light irradiation and carried with a substrate. The recording medium includes a guide layer having guide tracks each followed by a light beam spot focused from an objective lens through the recording layer, the guide tracks disposed at a first pitch. The recording medium includes a guide track transfer region provided on the guide layer and having at least one line of a track arranged in parallel between the guide tracks adjacent to each other in the extending direction of the guide track so as to be in a direction perpendicular to the guide track within a range shorter than that of the guide track.
