Optical information recording medium and reproducing apparatus for reproducing information from the medium.

摘要

A recording medium has a flat surface on which information is optically recorded. The recording medium rotates about a rotational axis normal to the flat surface. The recording medium has a first track extending around the rotational axis and a second track extending around the rotational axis along the first track. The second track has a plurality of segments, each of which being connected to adjacent segments and having a longitudinal direction different from the adjacent segments such that the second track extends in a zigzag fashion along the first track. The longitudinal direction the respective segments are oriented substantially toward the first track. <IMAGE>
