Abstract
For a disk of a land/groove scheme with land tracks and grooves appearing alternately, in order to enable stable and reliable reproduction of information as recorded on a disk by stably and reliably detecting a specific position at which a land track and groove change therebetween, a technique is employed for detecting the position whereat one land track is changed to a groove, or vice versa, by utilizing an HPP signal rather than an RF signal in cases where an optical head 103 attempts to reproduce certain information at the pit formation position of a disk 101. In addition, detect the polarity--positive or negative--of a pit signal appearing in the HPP signal, and then detect the position whereat the land track and groove change therebetween based on the position at which the order or sequence thereof changes, thereby permitting effectuation of optical head's tracking control and focus control by a method suitable for its respective parts.
