Abstract

The present invention provide an apparatus and method for verifying that a record carrier has been transformed from a first state to a second state in accordance with the state of a binary information signal being recorded thereon. In operation, the apparatus detects the signal generated by the record carrier during the supposed transformation and compares this signal to the corresponding portion of the binary information signal to determine whether or not the transformation has taken place, i.e., verifies the transformation. The present invention, in one embodiment, is employed in an optical disk system.
