STRUCTURE OF A LINKING AREA FORMED ON A HIGH-DENSITY READ-ONLY RECORDING MEDIUM AND MANUFACTURING/REPRODUCING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to structure of a linking area formed between data sections on a high-density read-only recording medium in order to ensure reproduction compatible with a rewritable recording medium. The present structure of a linking area is composed of two linking frames including sync signals individually. This sync signal is different from other sync signal written in a data recording area and/or used for a high-density rewritable recording medium. Moreover, the linking area includes data scrambled with a physical address in its space.
