Reflecting the detection result, if there is a layer with an NG recording characteristic, data with the bit corresponding to that layer as (111) is recorded as the recording layer pass / fail information 30.
- the reason why the recording layer quality information 30 is recorded on the BCA 4 is that the recording position needs to be a position where it is guaranteed that the recording is surely performed. In other words, there is a possibility that recording cannot be performed in the normal recording layer area due to recording characteristics. In other words, the recording layer is good This is because, when reading the reject information 30, it may not be possible to guarantee the recording layer in which this information is recorded.

- a write once optical disc that can be recorded only once, if SER measurement is performed, one recording has already been performed and the product cannot be used as a product.
- step 503 is performed on the samples.
- step 503 By generating the recording layer pass / fail information 30 and performing step 504, assuming that the result is the result of all the optical disks in the lot, it is possible to manufacture a disk in the same procedure for a write-once optical disk. It is. Needless to say, this method can also be applied to a recordable optical disk such as a rewritable optical disk.

- the recording layer from which reading is performed first is the 0th recording layer.
- Step 1402 The reproduction control unit 130 determines whether or not the data is correctly read in Step 1401.
- the DDS 20 and the disc management information 21 are stored in the management information storage buffer 150, and the recording layer pass / fail information 45 in the DDS 20 is used as the use pass / fail information 80 in the memory (in this case, the management information storage buffer 150 and Stored in a shared file).
- the logical space head position information 43 and the logical space size information 44 may be stored in the memory.

Specifically, the recording layer quality information determination unit 171 holds the recording layer quality information 45 in the read D DS20 and the memory (here, it is assumed that it is shared with the management information storage buffer 150). Compare with good / bad use information 80. In this embodiment, the logical space head position information 43 and the logical space size information 44 are also stored in the memory as the logical space information 81, and these pieces of information are checked whether the contents of the DDS 20 are correct as in the case of the pass / fail information 80. The force used for the determination of whether or not the determination using such information is not necessarily performed, but the same effect can be obtained.
- the logical space head position information 43 and the logical space size information 44 are stored in the memory, that is, the management information storage buffer 150 as the logical space information 81 as the usage information 80.
- Step 1404 As a result of checking the contents of the DDS 20 in Step 1403, the recording layer quality information determining unit 171 determines whether the DDS 20 is normal. Specifically, the recording layer pass / fail information 45 and logical space head position information 43 and logical space size information 44 in the read DDS 20 match the use pass / fail information 80 and logical space information 81 in the management information storage buffer 150. If they match, it is determined that DDS20 is correct information, and if they do not match, it is determined that DDS20 is incorrect information.
- Step 1405 When reading fails in the unrecorded state as a result of Step 1404, or when it is determined that the DDS 20 is incorrect information, the reading process is terminated and the optical disc 1 is abnormal. Disc is determined to be a good disk. If it is determined that the disc is abnormal, perform the physical format processing shown above again, or ignore the recording layer pass / fail information 45 as nothing, or use this disc. Abnormal processing, such as determining that there is, is performed.
- Step 1406 If the result of step 1404 is that the DDS 20 is determined to be correct information, the playback control unit 130 determines whether or not reading of the DMA area in all recording layers has been completed.
- Step 1407 If it is determined in step 1406 that the reading of the DMA area in all the recording layers is still incomplete, the playback control unit 130 determines the DMA in the next recording layer. In order to perform the reading process, the next recording layer is set as the target recording layer, and the process returns to Step 1401. For example, the next recording layer is set in the order of the first recording layer, the second recording layer, and the third recording layer as the recording layer for determining the 0th recording layer first.
- Step 1408 If it is determined in step 1406 that the reading of the DMA area in all recording layers has been completed, the recording layer pass / fail information determining unit 171 determines that this disc is a normal disc.
- the storage layer shown in the management information storage buffer 150 (memory) can be used as indicated by the usage information 80.
- the logical space as shown in the logical space information 81 cannot be used. Treat it as a disc with it.
- this optical disc 1 can be handled. It is judged as a disc that cannot.
- step 1401 corresponds to (a) a step of reading usage performance information in the method for preparing use of the information recording medium of the present invention
- steps 1402 to 1407 correspond to the information recording medium of the present invention.
- step 1408 includes the step (c) for assigning a logical address in the method for preparing to use the information recording medium of the present invention. It corresponds to.
- the DDS 20 is read from the DMA area in all the recording layers, and the information is determined to be the normal optical disc 1 only when all of the information matches, for example, one recording layer force DDS 20 is correct. If it can be read, the optical disc 1 is normal at that time, and even if this DDS 20 is treated as correct information, the same effect as described here can be obtained.
- the DDS 20 and the disk management information 21 are read from all the DMA areas DMA1 to DMA4.
- the disk management information 21 need not always be read. Further, it is not always necessary to read out all four DMA areas in all recording layers. For example, even if only a predetermined DMA area is read out, the same effect as described here can be obtained.
- the information of the recording layer that is determined to be incorrect information in step 1404 in DDS20 is held in, for example, the management information storage buffer 150, and this is compared with the usage information 80. It ’s okay to go. In other words, whether or not reading from the recording layer designated as usable in the usability information 80 has succeeded, and whether or not reading has failed in the recording layer designated as unusable. You may confirm. However, since there is a possibility that data reading from a recording layer that is generally disabled will succeed, it is possible to confirm whether or not the data has been successfully read from a recording layer that is specified as usable. Thus, the reliability of data can be improved.
- a reference recording layer may be provided.
- Tsuma For example, in the case of a four-layer disc, for example, the 0th recording layer is determined as the reference recording layer, and the 0th recording layer is always handled normally (recording characteristics are sufficient as a product level). Then, the disk that fails the DMA recording of the 0th recording layer may not be shipped as a defective disk. In this way, the DDS20 including the recording layer quality information 45 is always recorded correctly in the DMA area of the 0th recording layer, which is the reference recording layer.
- the apparatus 100 also reads the DDS20 and the like for the DMA area force of the 0th recording layer to acquire the recording layer pass / fail information 45, and even if the subsequent processing is performed based on this information, the same effect as described here is obtained. I can do it.
- the recording layer set as unusable in the recording layer pass / fail information 45 has been described as being unusable at all. However, the unusable recording layer is determined at the user's will.
- One method is to provide a means for enabling use, that is, a means for ignoring the recording layer quality information 45.
- the power described in the case where the recording layer pass / fail information 45 is provided in the DDS 20 may be provided in, for example, the disc management information 21. This case is also described here. The same effect as can be obtained.
- BCA4 or DDS20 or the like is used, and there is strong information that does not exist in the area (Reserved area in which 0 is set).
- a disc with the recording layer pass / fail information set to 0 that is, the enable / disable flag 50 power SO, so the pass / fail information 51 is invalid
- the recording layer pass / fail information is not 0, the information is originally used and the possibility of malfunction of the conventional device is extremely low. Therefore, it can be said that there is almost no demerit to the user.

- a new layer use pass / fail information setting mode is provided in the Format command, and when the mode is requested, the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute is set.
- Embodiment 3 describes the processing in the disc manufacturing process, it is assumed that the above 3) is used as the determination method. However, since it is a process in the disc manufacturing process, it is guaranteed in advance that the recording target optical disc 1 in 2) is a virgin disc. Obviously, it is a process in the disc manufacturing process, it is guaranteed in advance that the recording target optical disc 1 in 2) is a virgin disc. Obviously, it is a process in the disc manufacturing process, it is guaranteed in advance that the recording target optical disc 1 in 2) is a virgin disc. Become.
- Step 1303 Determined that the instruction processing unit 110 sets the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute If this is the case, the recording layer pass / fail information is calculated by calculating the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute that is set by using the start physical address of the recording layer specified as NG and the size of the data area 6 for which the recording characteristics corresponding to the regular use are specified.
- the setting unit 173 reflects this in the disk management information 21 included in the management information storage buffer 150, that is, information corresponding to the DFL. At this time, since the recording layer that can be used for a regular purpose is determined, the position and size of the logical space are also determined.

- Step 1304 Finally, the instruction processing unit 110 requests the recording control unit 120 to record the DDS 20 and the disk management information 21 included in the management information storage buffer 150.
- the recording control unit 120 DDS20 and disk management information 21 are recorded from DMA1 to DMA4.
- the probability is very low.
- this disc is judged as a disc that cannot be used completely and discarded, so that it is not shipped as a product.
- the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute is calculated again.
- the disk management information 21 may be recorded on the DMA 4 again by the DMA 1 force of each recording layer.
- step 504 that is, the recording processing of the disc management information 21 onto the optical disc 1 is completed.
- the optical disc 1 in Embodiment 3 has already been physically It will be shipped in the mat state.
- defect entry 48 with the CBA attribute set in the disk manufacturing process should be restricted as information that cannot be changed even if this disk is physically formatted by the user. .
- the DDS 20 and the disk management information 21 are recorded for all of the recording layers DMA1 to DMA4.
- the DMA1 of all the recording layers is not necessarily recorded.
- DMA4 in at least one recording layer that can normally record for example, a recording layer that is a virtual 0th recording layer
- the same effect can be obtained by recording only a specific DMA (for example, DMA1).
- the case where information corresponding to the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute set in the CDB or parameter list of the Format command is included as an example.
- the Format command processing It can be stored in advance in the management information storage buffer 150 provided in the optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus 100, or it can be stored in a nonvolatile memory (not shown) such as EEPROM, and processing can be performed using this information. It is.
- an example of performing recording of DDS20 including recording layer pass / fail information 45 from DMA1 to DMA4 using the Format command For example, the CBA attribute is not necessarily used without using the Format command. A new command for registering defect entry 48 may be constructed and used.
- FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a disk reading (starting) processing procedure for the optical disk 1 of the third embodiment by the optical disk recording / reproducing apparatus 100.
- Step 1701 The playback control unit 130 reads the DDS 20 and the disc management information 21 from the DMA area (DMA 1 to DMA 4) in the designated recording layer.
- the recording layer from which reading is performed first is the 0th recording layer.
- Step 1702 The reproduction control unit 130 determines whether or not the data is correctly read in Step 1701. If it can be read, the DDS 20 and the disk management information 21 are stored in the management information storage buffer 150, and the process proceeds to Step 1706.
- Step 1703 The reproduction control unit 130 determines whether or not the reading of the DMA area in all the recording layers has been completed.
- Step 1704 If it is determined in step 1703 that the reading of the DMA area in all recording layers is still incomplete, the playback control unit 130 determines the DMA in the next recording layer. In order to perform the reading process, the next recording layer is set as the target recording layer, and the process returns to Step 1701. For example, the next recording layer is set in the order of the first recording layer, the second recording layer, and the third recording layer as the recording layer for determining the 0th recording layer first.
- Step 1705 If it is determined in step 1703 that the reading of the DMA area in all recording layers has been completed, the playback control unit 130 cannot handle this optical disc 1 ( For example, it is determined as an abnormal optical disk 1 in which the physical format is not yet implemented), and the reading process is completed.
- Step 1706 The recording layer pass / fail information determination unit 171 acquires the disc management information 21 read into the management information storage buffer 150, that is, the DFL force, and also the defect entry 48, and the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute exists therein. It is determined whether or not.
- Step 1707 From the result of step 1706, the address translation processing unit 172 calculates logical space information. Specifically, if it is determined in step 1706 that there is no defect entry with the CBA attribute, it is determined that all recording layers are usable, and the top of the user data area 14 in the 0th recording layer is logically determined. The logical space size is calculated as the sum of the space start position and the size of the user data area 14 in all recording layers. When it is determined that the defect entry 48 with the CBA attribute exists, the logical space is calculated in a form excluding the recording layer set as the defect entry 48 with the CBA attribute. Since there are various methods for calculating the logical space as described in the first embodiment, the calculation is performed in a form that matches the method.
- step 1701 corresponds to (a) a step of reading usage performance information in the method for preparing to use the information recording medium of the present invention

- the DMA area force in all the recording layers is also read out from the DDS 20, and a normal optical disk 1 is not obtained until all of the information is matched. Even in this case, the same effect as described here can be obtained.
- the DDS 20 and the disk management information 21 are read from all the DMA areas DMA1 to DMA4 here, the disk management information 21 need not always be read. Further, it is not always necessary to read out all four DMA areas in all recording layers. For example, even if only a predetermined DMA area is read out, the same effect as described here can be obtained.
- the information of the recording layer determined to have been successfully read and failed in step 1702 is held in, for example, the management information storage buffer 150, and whether or not the defect entry 48 of the CBA attribute exists as this defect entry 48.
- These comparisons may be made on the assumption that reading data from the recording layer should fail. However, there is a possibility that data reading from a recording layer that is generally unusable may succeed, so it is possible to confirm whether or not the data has been successfully read from a recording layer designated as usable. Therefore, it becomes possible to improve the reliability of data.
- a reference recording layer may be provided.
- the 0th recording layer is determined as the reference recording layer, and the 0th recording layer can always perform normal recording (recording characteristics are sufficient as a product level). Handle. Then, the disk that fails the DMA recording of the 0th recording layer may not be shipped as a defective disk. This ensures that the DDS 20 and the disc management information 21 are correctly recorded in the DMA area of the 0th recording layer, which is the reference recording layer. Therefore, when this disc is used, the optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus 100 is used. Even if the DMA area of the 0th recording layer reads the disk management information 21 and the like to acquire the defect entry 48 and performs the subsequent processing based on this information, the same effect as described here can be obtained. Come out.
