Abstract:
An optical disc driving device for driving an optical disc in which said optical disc has formed thereon a plurality of substantially concentrically extending tracks, each track having a plurality of segments each having a servo area having a servo pit giving a servo information to a disc drive and a data area, and a pre-write area unified to a polarity at the distal end of said data area, comprisingrecording/reproducing means for reproducing data from said optical disc and for recording data on said optical disc,driving power applying means for applying a low-level reproducing driving power or a high-level recording driving power to said recording/reproducing means,data supplying means for supplying recording data to said recording/reproducing means, andcontrol means for controlling at a timing an optical pickup of the recording/reproducing means is moved from said servo area to said pre-write area of said data area, said driving power applying means so that the driving power is switched from the reproducing driving power to the recording driving power and said data supply means for supplying data of the same polarity as said one polarity to said optical pickup,and controlling said data supplying means for supplying desired data to said optical pickup at a timing said pickup traverses said pre-write area during recording.
