ABSTRACT:
An optical disk apparatus adapted to a mark edge recording method having a structure such that a data pattern experimentally recorded on an optical disk with one write power is reproduced plural times while changing reproducing conditions (for example, a slice level for binary-coding a reproduced analog signal) and the number of errors is calculated whenever the reproducing process is performed. The thus-structured process is repeated for using a plurality of write powers. An appropriate write power for the optical disk is determined in accordance with the obtained results of the calculations of the number of errors. In a case of a read-only optical disk, a data pattern experimentally and previously recorded on the optical disk is reproduced plural times by changing the reproducing conditions (for example, a slice level for binary-coding a reproduced analog signal), and the number of errors is calculated whenever the reproducing process is performed. In accordance with the obtained results of the calculations of the number of errors, an appropriate reproducing condition for the optical disk is determined.
