Abstract:
An optical disk having a plurality of substantially concentric tracks, each of which includes a plurality of segments each comprising a servo area ARs provided with servo pits for giving servo information to a disk drive and a data area ARd. Identification marks SGM, ADM, STM1, STM2 are recorded in the servo area ARs. The identification marks SGM, ADM, STM1, STM2 provide information for identifying the respective segments depending on the recording position in the servo area ARs.
Abstract:
Method of recording on a record medium (4) by receiving a series of data elements, adding error detection and error correction data to each data element, moving some of the data in each data element to an adjacent data element to produce arranged data elements, and recording the arranged data elements in different sectors on a record medium (4). Upon reproduction of the arranged data elements from a record medium (4), some of the data in each arranged data element are moved to an adjacent data element to produce rearranged data elements. Errors in each rearranged data element are detected and corrected using data contained therein. A record medium (4) having concentric tracks on which a plurality of sectors are located stores data in each of the sectors. The data in each sector pertains to two different sectors so that the affect of a burst error on a particular sector is minimized.
Abstract:
First error-processing data are generated (39) with respect to a predetermined amount of data, and second error-processing data are generated (40) with respect to each of a plurality of blocks produced by dividing the predetermined amount of data. Data of record units are generated from the predetermined amount of data, the first error-processing data, and the second error-processing data. The data of record units are recorded (8) on and reproduced from a recording medium (4). Errors are corrected (2) in the predetermined amount of data in the reproduced data of record units with the first error-processing data with respect to each of the record units. If errors cannot be corrected, at least errors are detected in the predetermined amount of data in each of the blocks with the second error-processing data. If errors are detected in N (N is a positive integer) successive blocks, all data in at least one block which is not positioned at an end of the N successive blocks are regarded as being erased, thereby correcting errors in the predetermined amount of data in the record units with the first error-processing data, thus producing reproduced data.

Abstract:
Data recorded on such a recording medium as an optical disk, are reproduced excellently even when burst errors occur during reproduction, without reducing the data record capacity of the recording medium. A first error correcting code is generated for every block of a certain amount of data, and added to the corresponding block, a second error correcting code is generated for the every block and added to the other blocks than the block for which the second error correcting code is generated. These data and codes are recorded on the recording medium. When reproducing the data, recorded on the recording medium in blocks of data, whether or not detection correction is possible or not is judged based on the first error correcting codes included in the reproduced data. When the detection correction of a block is possible, the detection correction is performed, and when impossible, missing information is generated based on the second error correcting codes reproduced from the data blocks and corresponding to the block of which detection correction is impossible. Using the missing information and the first error correcting code, missing correction of the data block is performed.

Abstract:
An optical disc having a plurality of substantially concentrically extending tracks has a plurality of segments each including a servo area ARs and a data area ARd. In the servo area ARs, having servo pits representing the servo information to the disc drive, there are recorded discrimination marks SGM, ADM, STM1 and STM2. These discrimination marks SGM, ADM, STM1 and STM2 afford the segment-discriminating information depending on the recording position in the servo area ARs.
