ABSTRACT:
A recording medium in which one sector is divided into a plurality of segments and information is recorded in the segments, uses a reproducing method in which information is reproduced optically from this medium. The recording medium has an area in which no embossed pit is formed beforehand comprising at least one segment among a plurality of segments, and embossed pits indicative of the head of the sector which is formed in correspondence to the head position of the sector. Clocks are reproduced by detecting the pit for clock reproduction on the basis of the area in the recording medium in which no embossed pit is formed beforehand. The head position of the sector is detected by detecting whether the pit indicative of the head of the sector is present or not at a timing based on the clock. With this method, the head position of the sector can be detected correctly even if information was recorded by a modulating system in which all signal patterns can exist according to the modulating rule.
