OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM, DATA RECORDING METHOD AND DATA REPRODUCING METHOD

摘要

The optical recording medium has main data recorded on a recording track that has been formed in advance along the track direction, and the recorded data are read out by optical system. Frame synchronising signals based on the same format as the main data format are recorded in advance for each frame that serves as a data recording unit utilising the displacement in the direction of width of the recording track itself, whereby the frame synchronism is easily obtained and the constitution is simplified as a result of using the synchronising circuit in common. The data to be recorded in advance by displacing the track itself in the direction of width include frame synchronising signal as well as any reproduction-only data, in order to increase the recording capacity of the disk. The circuit constitution is simplified by using in common the reproducing circuit for reproducing frame synchronising signals of main data recorded in the track direction of the recording track and the reproducing circuit for reproducing frame synchronising signals of the same format as the main data in the data recorded being displaced in the direction of track width.
