Abstract
The present invention is aimed at providing an optical disc device and a recording condition setting method which can automatically determine an optical recording condition to an optical disc, and the optical disc device comprises an optical pickup which records data on a disc; a data encoder which modulates data to be recorded; a recording timing setting means which sets a timing of recording the data on the disc; a phase error detection means which measures an error amount of a mark recorded on the disc from a position where the mark should be properly located; an error convergence means which calculates error information indicating an optimum position of the mark; a recording timing calculation means which calculates a correction value of the recording timing to be set on the recording timing setting means, based on the error information; and a control means which feedbacks an output of the recording timing calculation means to the recording timing setting means, thereby to optimize the recording timing.
