An optical recording medium has a user data area (120) and a lead-out area (130), wherein the user data area and the lead-out area each has grooves (123) and lands (125) formed thereon. Wobbles (105,135) are formed on at least one lateral surface of grooves of the user data area and the lead-out area, and configured such that wobble characteristics are made different between the user data area and the lead-out area. Different types of wobbles are formed on the grooves of either the user data area or the lead-out area, thereby preventing an optical pickup that performs recording/reproduction from deviating from the user data area (120). Also, in a multi-layer optical recording medium, a whole area of a recording layer is configured to have a same condition, thereby preventing deterioration in reproduction and/or recording due to a difference in light power transmittance of another recording layer. <IMAGE> |
