20080298195 | Optical recording method and optical recording device - To adjust the parameters of a write strategy for recording data on an optical recording medium, the jitter value of a reproduced signal obtained from recorded data is detected. If the jitter value exceeds a prescribed threshold, a write strategy parameter having a comparatively small effect on the jitter value is adjusted, and subsequent data are written on the recording medium using the adjusted parameter. Parameters are selected for adjustment in ascending order of their effect on the jitter value. Stable data recording can thereby be carried out without significant jitter degradation. | 12-04-2008 |

20120002523 | OPTICAL RECORDING DEVICE AND METHOD - Before new information is recorded on a comparatively deep recording layer in a multilayer optical recording disc, a predetermined target value of a reproduced signal parameter is read from the disc itself or from a separate storage unit, the recorded/unrecorded states of the shallower recording layers are determined, and the target value is corrected on the basis of these states. The correction is based on a predetermined difference in the value of the reproduced signal parameter caused by a difference in the recorded/unrecorded states of the shallower recording layers. The corrected target value is used in calibration of the recording power by means of a test write. This correction of the target value permits reliable recording on a multilayer optical disc without delaying the start of the recording process. | 01-05-2012 |
