Abstract
To reduce influence of errors on the outer periphery side of a multi-layer recording disc, a first shifted middle area is assured at a predetermined position nearer to the inner periphery side than the last position of layer on the outer periphery side of a single-sided, multi-layer recording disc, and a second shifted middle area is assured at the position of layer that opposes the shifted middle area assured on layer. A recording layer extending from layer to layer may be shifted in the first and second shifted middle areas, and an area in which errors relatively readily occur on the outer periphery side of the first and second shifted middle areas may not be used.
