ABSTRACT:
An optical disc using a single-spiral land and groove track format and an address signal enabling simple sector address management and format compatibility with read-only optical disc media is disclosed. Four physical address areas PID1-PID4 are recorded to a header area such that PID1 and PID2 are offset one-half track pitch toward the outside circumference of the disc from the groove track center, and PID3 and PID4 are offset one-half track pitch toward the inside circumference of the disc from the groove track center, and the header area is shared by groove track sectors and land track sectors. A groove track sector address is written to PID3 and PID4, and the sector address of the land track sector adjacent on the outside circumference side of that groove sector is written to PID1 and PID2. The address of each sector increases 1 in the same sequence as the sectors are formed in the recording spiral.
