Patent ID: 6990051

Claim:
An optical storage carrier player for accessing an optical storage carrier, the optical storage carrier comprising a central portion, an inner power calibration area located outside the central portion, a data storage area located outside the inner power calibration area, and an outer power calibration area located outside the data storage area, the optical storage carrier player comprising: an access device for writing data on an optical storage carrier; and a control apparatus for controlling the access device to perform an optical power calibration in the outer power calibration area or in the inner power calibration area to determine an optimized optical power, wherein, according to a specific information, the control apparatus determining whether performing an optical power calibration in the outer power calibration area or performing the optical power calibration in the inner power calibration area to determine the optimized optical power, and wherein the inner power calibration area is located close to the central portion, the inner power calibration area having a count area for recoding the specific information, and the specific information comprises a number count of the optical power calibrations already performed within the inner power calibration area.
