ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an optical information recording and/or reproducing system for recording or reproducing information in parallel from a first point towards a second point in which at least (N+1) numbers of track turns are herein provided between the first and second points on a helical track by converging, when N is an integer being two or larger than two, N numbers of light beams respectively at N numbers of track turns adjacent to each other in the radial direction of the helical track on an optical information recording medium and positioning the light beams to form N numbers of beam spots through an optical system. Any portion of the information by N numbers of beam spots is recorded or reproduced from a third point between the first and second points towards the second point. The beam spots are moved from the second point in the radial direction of the helical track so that at least one or more beam spots of N numbers of beam spots come in front of the first point in a scanning direction of the beam spots. Other segments of the information are recorded or reproduced from the first point towards the third point by using at least one or more beam spots.
