Disclosed is a phase change recording medium comprising a crystal section and an amorphous section, characterized in that the difference in reflectivity between the crystal section and the amorphous section is, for example, 15% or more when light with a wavelength of lambda 1 is applied and the difference in absorptivity between the crystal section and the amorphous section is, for example, 5% or less when light with a wavelength of lambda 2 is applied. Recording using light with a wavelength of lambda 2 brings about few opportunities of occurrence of cross-erasure because of a small difference in absorptivity between the crystal section and the amorphous section. Reproduction using light with a wavelength of lambda 1 after the recording using light with a wavelength of lambda 2 results in the production of satisfactorily regenerative signals because of a large difference in reflectivity between the crystal section and the amorphous section.
