Abstract
An information signal recording medium of rotary type has a flat surface with first succession of pits formed therein as respective concavities in response to a first signal and with second succession of pits formed therein as respective concavities in response to a second signal. The second succession of pits are formed at positions substantially intermediate between the centerlines of adjacent tracks formed by the first succession of pits. Each pit of the first succession of pits and each pit of the second succession of pits respectively have widths W1 and W2 and depths D1 and D2, wherein the relationships between the widths and said depths are so selected that the levels L1 and L2 of the first and second signals which are reproduced when the first and second succession of pits are traced and thereby reproduced by reproducing means will be such that the level L1 is greater than the level L2, and the difference between the levels L1 and L2 will be greater than a specific level difference.
