Error control procedures are described for an optical disk recorder. High and low criteria for each of a plurality of machine operations or functions of an optical disk recorder are described. Such functions include erasing a sector, writing data, and reading data. Each function has two sub parts, reading a sector ID and performing the function in a data field. The high and low criteria for reading the sector ID and for performing the function in the data field, are different. The high and low criteria for a ROM portion of the optical disk are different from that provided for magnetooptic portion.
