ABSTRACT:
There is provided a disk recording apparatus capable of minimizing a servo error and recording in the last zone at the maximum one of the recording speeds specified in the apparatus or disk recording medium even if the disk recording medium is in poor condition. At any position during disk activation, an axial-run-out and eccentricity measuring circuit (115) measures the eccentricity of the disk recording medium. A CPU (101) calculates the upper-limit rotation speed from the measurement, divides the recording area into zones in such a manner that the disk recording medium rotates at speeds lower or equal to the upper-limit rotation speed, determines the maximum one of the recording speeds specified in the apparatus and supported by the disk recording medium for each zone, sets a zone CLV table, and stores the table in a RAM (102). Then, the recording speeds are changed at zone boundaries according to the zone CLV table set based on the upper-limit rotation speeds calculated from the eccentricities.
