Abstract

An optical signal recording and reproduction or retrieval system which records a primary signal on a recording track provided on a recording medium by projecting a laser beam which has been modulated by the primary signal onto the recording track, and further records a secondary signal, by superposition, on the recording track by projecting the laser beam which has been modulated by the secondary signal having a frequency band which is different from that of the primary signal onto the recording track for enabling the deleting of the previously recorded primary signal.
