Abstract
A magnetic recording medium enhances the quality of a reproducing signal. The magnetic recording medium has a servo pattern formed in a servo pattern area on at least one surface of a disk-shaped substrate by a concave/convex pattern having convex portions (recording areas) and concave portions (non-recording areas), and a data track pattern formed by the concave/convex pattern in a data recording area on the at least one surface of the disk-shaped substrate. In a state where recording data is not recorded in the data recording area, the convex portions in the servo pattern area are DC-magnetized, and the convex portions in the data recording area are AC-magnetized.
