Abstract

A desired portion of information stored in the form of holes using hole burning phenomena is erased by irradiating a desired portion of a recording medium with light so as to erase desired holes. In this way it is possible to erase selectively only desired information among information stored in a PHB memory and further to rewrite information in the portion, where information has been erased.
