摘要

A record carrier (1) is described which has a servo track (4) indicating an information track (9) intended for recording information blocks, which servo track (4) has a variation of a physical parameter, a so called wobble. The wobble is modulated for encoding record carrier information, such as addresses. The servo track is subdivided in modulated parts in which the frequency and/or phase of the variation deviates from the wobble frequency, and non-modulated parts. The slope of the wobble is substantially continuous at transitions between the modulated and non-modulated parts by using wobbles (25,26,27,28) starting at the maxima or minima of the wobble in the first part of the modulated parts.
