PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly reproduce information to be essentially recorded.SOLUTION: In an optical information reproducing device, a detection signal S obtained on the basis of a reflected light beam from an optical information recording medium is compared with a first signal level V1 and a second signal level V2 by a fluctuation detection part of a signal processing part to generate a first detection signal SV1 and a second detection signal SV2. In the signal processing part, the first detection signal SV1 and the second detection signal SV2 are converted into a first code sequence CV1 and a second code sequence CV2, respectively, by a code sequence generating part and when the second code sequence CV2 becomes a value 1, a substitution code sequence CR is substituted for a code sequence CB in the vicinity of the first code sequence CV1 to form a code sequence C. Thereby, in the optical information reproducing device, the code sequence C corresponding to two recording marks which should be essentially recorded can be generated even when merged recording marks are formed in the optical information recording medium.
