Abstract
An optical recording and reproducing apparatus includes a controlling circuit for controlling a light intensity of a laser beam emitted by a laser diode. The controlling circuit sets the light intensity in a verifying mode at a level lower than those in data read and write modes. The verifying mode is a mode for verifying whether or not the recording or reproducing apparatus can operate correctly. The apparatus also comprises a verifying circuit for comparing the reproduced information signal obtained in the verifying mode with a reference information signal which corresponds to the information signal written into the optical disc.
