Tilt compensation method and apparatus therefor

摘要

In a tilt compensation method and an apparatus thereof, an apparatus that compensates for a tilt of a recordable and reproducible optical recording medium includes a tilt detector detecting a tilt of the optical recording medium and a recording compensator. The recording compensator compensates for a recording signal having a predetermined recording pattern by using a predetermined system according to the tilt detected by the tilt detector, in which the tilt detector detects a tilt with respect to an optical recording medium in which a tilt margin is greater than 0 and less than 0.0052 (0<tilt margin<0.0052) and the recording compensator compensates for the detected tilt. Thus, a desired size (length and width) of a mark can be recorded by controlling the power level and the recording time needed for recording according to the detected tilt. Also, the above method and apparatus are suitable for a high density optical disc system.
