Recording/reproducing apparatus and recording/reproducing method using probe

摘要

A recording/reproducing apparatus for performing recording/reproduction by running a probe relative to a recording bit string on a recording medium and detecting recording bits in the recording bit string, comprising a plural-recording-bit-detection device for letting the probe perform plural recording bit detections as taking positions thereof shifted relative to a same recording bit string on the recording medium; and a recording bit determining device for performing determination of true recording bit, based on the results of the plural recording bit detections.
