The host system includes an instruction generation section for generating an instruction including designation information designating an operation type of an operation to be performed by the driving apparatus, and advanced notice information indicating whether the operation type of an operation immediately subsequent to the operation designated by the designation information is the same as the operation type of the operation designated by the designation information; and an output section for outputting the instruction to the driving apparatus. The operation type is either one of a recording operation of recording information on the information recording medium or a reading operation of reading information recorded on the information recording medium.
