METHOD OF VERIFYING DEFECT MANAGEMENT AREA INFORMATION OF OPTICAL DISC UPON INITIALIZATION WITHOUT CERTIFICATION AND TEST APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME

摘要

A method of verifying defect management area (DMA) information of an optical disc upon initialization without certification, and a test apparatus for performing th e same. The method includes generating as test information, defect management information, whic h is generated after performing initialization without certification on a blank test disc to whic h no data is written, and verifying the test information using reference test information for the initialization without certification to provide a test result. Accordingly, it can be easily verifi ed that a recording and reproducing apparatus properly translates and processes DMA information whic h is generated after initialization without certification, using a blank test disc.
