<p>A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a tape type optical recording medium (1) has a transparent guide (2) on which guide tracks (3) are precisely formed. A scanning beam (4) is controlled so as to scan along the guide tracks (3) and is converged on the recording surface (1A) of the tape type recording medium (1). The accuracy of the recording tracks (3) on the tape (1) is equivalent to that of the guide tracks (3). In this way, recording tracks (3) can be precisely formed on the tape (1) without the step required in the prior art methods of pre-forming guide tracks on the recording medium (1).</p> |
