Abstract
A novel optical disc which, while having interchangeability with a conventional MD or MD data, has a capacity far exceeding the capacity of these optical discs, and an optical disc device. The optical disc and the optical disc device take into account the constraints of the skew accompanying the increased recording density. By setting the jitter produced when recording random pattern signals on one track only to not more than 8.4% and by setting jitter increase on recording signals also on both side neighboring tracks to not more than 4.9%, the skew margin in the radial direction of not less than ±0.7° and that in the running direction (circumferential direction) of not less than ±0.6° are assured.
