摘要

It is possible to realize reproduction compatibility with a system which can perform only reproduction operation for a reproduction-dedicated medium or rewrite type recording medium. A recording device (300A) includes a drive device (320). The drive device (320) includes a head unit (334) and a drive control unit (331). The drive control unit (331) receives an update instruction. According to the update instruction, the drive control unit (33 1) controls the head unit (334) to record second address information on an information recording medium (100), generates disc management information containing correlation information for correlating the first address information to the second address information, and controls the head unit (334) to record the disc management information on the information recording medium (100). The drive control unit (331) controls the head unit (334) to record the second information on the information recording medium (100).
