Abstract:
Apparatus for recording data on an information recording medium, comprising:means for dividing data inputted in a time series into a plurality of divided data series, each divided data series comprising a predetermined number of bytes, and forming one row;means for arranging a plurality of said rows to form a sector, and for arranging a plurality of said sectors to form as error correction block;means for adding to each said sector a code enabling identification of said sector;means for adding a synchronizing signal to each of said rows, a synchronizing signal of the row which contains a first position of the code enabling identification of the sector being different from a synchronizing signal of all rows in the sector which do not contain the first position of the code enabling identification of the sector, and the synchronizing signal of the row which includes the first position of the code enabling identification of a sector being the same as a synchronizing signal of a row of another sector which includes the first position of a code for enabling identification of said other sector; andmeans for recording data inputted and processed on the recording medium, with a sequence of the data inputted in time series being kept unchanged.
