Reproducing method and storage apparatus

摘要

A storage apparatus uses a light beam to reproduce information from a recording medium (72) having an information region with a recording format which includes a header including position information and a recording field including a data field for recording data. The storage apparatus is provided with a light source (30) for emitting the light beam, and a control unit for controlling a power L2 of the light beam in a vicinity of a start of the recording field to become higher than a power L3 at the data field of the recording field. <IMAGE>
