Abstract A recording device for a disc-like recording medium having some recording tracks formed by grooves wobbled in response to their absolute positional information and the track including a linking area for controlling laser power, the recording device comprising an information reader for reading information from the disc-like recording medium, a frequency information extractor for extracting groove frequency information from information extracted by the information reader, a frequency measurer for measuring the frequency of the frequency information extracted by the frequency information extractor, a recorder for performing a recording operation in respect to the disc-like recording medium, a discriminator for discriminating whether a rotating speed of the disc-like recording medium has reached a suitable rotation velocity or not, and a controller for controlling a laser power at the linking area in advance for a recording operation if the rotating speed has reached a suitable rotation velocity in accordance with a result of the discriminator.
A recording device for a disc-like recording medium having some recording tracks formed by grooves wobbled in response to their absolute positional information and the track including a linking area for controlling laser power, the recording device comprising: information reading means for reading information from the disc-like recording medium; frequency information extracting means for extracting groove frequency information from information extracted by said information reading means; frequency measuring means for measuring the frequency of the frequency information extracted by said frequency information extracting means; recording means for performing a recording operation in respect to the disc-like recording medium; discriminating means for discriminating whether a rotating speed of the disc-like recording medium has reached to suitable rotation velocity or not in accordance with a result of the frequency measuring means; and control means for controlling a laser power at the linking area in advance for the recording operation if the rotating speed has reached a suitable rotation velocity in accordance with a result of the discriminating means.
