An optical disc 1 has spiral grooves GR formed on a data recording surface thereof and in which information is written to, and read from, both a land between the grooves and the grooves as tracks. Each track has a plurality of address areas AR1 and user areas AR2 formed thereon, and each of the address areas AR1 has embossed pits for a groove header GRH and embossed pits for a land header LH. Each of the address areas AR1 has provided in a leading part thereof a header mark area HM formed from a mirror finished surface. That is, this optical disc is of an on-land/in-groove recording type. An offset taking place in a tracking error signal and focus error signal is removed to accurately control the tracking and focus of an optical head. <IMAGE> |
