Abstract

See full text

A minute light spot is irradiated on an information track on a recording surface of a recording medium from an optical head. When reproducing an information mark train recorded on the recording surface by the mark position recording method, light reflected by or transmitted through the recording medium is guided to a divided photosensor having a division line extending in a direction perpendicular to the track. A plurality of outputs from the divided photosensor is arithmetically processed to thereby detect the central position of the information mark.
