WRITABLE OPTICAL INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, APPARATUS FOR REPRODUCING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF DETERMINING THE SAME

摘要

A writable optical information recording medium, an apparatus for reproducing the same, and a method of determining the same are provided. The amplitude of a push-pull signal (PPS) of the writable optical information recording medium is determined to be within an amplitude range of a PPS of a reproduction-only optical information recording medium. Accordingly, it is possible to stably reproduce copy protected content by recognizing a loaded writable optical information recording medium as a medium of a reproduction-only type.
