Abstract

An optical disk device comprises a power ratio setting circuit for setting ratio of recording power to erasing power in a predetermined ratio, a recording start point detection circuit for detecting a recording start point by performing at least two cycle recording over the same area in a predetermined test region to detect a recording power and an erasing power of the recording start point, and a power setting circuit for setting a final recording power and erasing power for recording in a user region of the optical disk by multiplying the recording power and the erasing power of the recording start point by predetermined values respectively.
