RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD FOR OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording and reproducing device capable of processing recording and reproducing regardless of the forming method of the control data zone of a disk. SOLUTION: The device has a position identifying means for identifying the position of a control data recording area in which control data on the recording of an information data signal is recorded, a pre-pit signal detection means for detecting a pre-pit signal in a read signal obtained by reading the prescribed section of the control data recording area and/or an RF data signal detection means for detecting RF data in the read signal obtained by reading the prescribed section of the control data recording area, and a means for generating a recording synchronizing signal for showing a recording starting timing from a signal detected by the pre-pit signal detection means and/or the RF data signal detection means.
