Abstract
When a MD is inserted (step S ), AGC is executed for reading the TOC area of the MD , and thereafter the information stored in the TOC area of the MD are read to detect the kind and recording capacity, etc. of the MD (step S S ). Next, the data relative to the executing position of AGC corresponding to the kind of the detected MD is read out from the memory (step S ). Now, where the MD is of a pre-mastered type, according to the recording capacity, either the first executing position P or the second executing position P is read as occasion demands. On the other hand, where the MD is of the recordable type, two AGC executing positions of the first executing position R in a pit area and the second executing position R in a groove area are read out. At each of the executing positions thus read out, the AGC is executed (step S ).
