RECORDING DEVICE FOR RECORDING INFORMATION ONTO A RECORD CARRIER

摘要

A recording system (1) for recording information is revealed. The system comprises a record carrier (2) of an inscribable type and a recording apparatus (3). The record carrier is preconditioned with a control-information pattern which indicates for which type(s) of information the relevant record carrier is intended. The recording apparatus comprises means (11, 13) for determining the type of information presented for recording, means (12; 10a, 82, 83) for reading the control information represented by the control-information structure, and control means (11) for inhibiting recording if the detected information does not correspond to the control information being read.
