Abstract: There is provided an optical disk drive capable of appropriately effecting recording and reproducing operations without being affected by offset values and a laser output value, which are set at startup of the disk drive, even when changes have arisen in the internal temperature of the disk drive because of changes in ambient temperature. In an optical disk drive, a temperature sensor provided on a pickup measures a temperature. When changes in temperature are greater than a predetermined level, a focus offset value, a tracking offset value, and a value of laser output from the pickup are reset.

Abstract: A disk medium, an information recording device, and an information reproducing device are provided, which are capable of efficiently recording sub-information such as security data and, if the sub-information is set as the security information, enhancing a security performance. The disk is divided into a plurality of zones in radial directions. A logical zone count in each zone is obtained by dividing a total recordable frame count in each zone by a frame count in a unit logical zone. For example, a logical zone count N1z in a zone i is given by: N1z=Fzi/F1z where Fzi is the total frame count in the zone i, and F1z is a frame count in the logical zone. However, a value given by the formula (1) is not always an integer depending on the zone, and there might exist a frame (gap region) not used for the logical zone. Accordingly, the security data are recorded in this gap region.

Abstract: Various conditions such as the power of a pulse beam for recording emitted from an optical head to a magneto-optical recording medium, the power of continuous light in reproduction, the intensity of the magnetic field applied from a magnetic head, the phase difference between the magnetic field applied from the magnetic head and the pulse beam emitted from the optical head, and the equalizer coefficient of an equalizer are optimized based on the error rate of a reproduced signal by actually recording a signal to a magneto-optical recording medium and reproducing the recorded signal. A signal is recorded and/or reproduced to/from a magneto-optical recording medium according to the optimized conditions. A control circuit provides control of a servo circuit, an equalizer, a laser drive circuit and a magnetic head drive circuit.
