Abstract
An information recording apparatus capable of detecting an accurate tracking error even if a reflectance or a transmittance of respective information recording layers varies when information is recorded onto a multilayer optical information recording medium having a plurality of information recording layers, wherein the apparatus comprises a detecting device for detecting a position of a boundary portion between a recorded area where the information has already been recorded and an unrecorded area in the information recording layer; an inhibiting device for inhibiting recording the information onto an area in one information recording layer in a case where the boundary portion in an information recording layer may affect a tracking servo for recording the information onto said one information recording layer.
