Optical recording medium with increased addressing accuracy

摘要

An optical recording medium has a substrate 12 which has a spiral or concentric circular grooves 32 and lands 34 disposed between the grooves 32. A pit is formed in advance in the land 34 and opens toward only one groove 32 of the grooves 32 adjacent the land 34. Address information of the one groove 32 toward which the pit is open is recorded by the pit.
