Abstract

A plurality of tracks on an optical disk are optically read to obtain a signal containing a plurality of LOW segments. Each of the plurality of LOW segments should correspond to a certification pit. Accordingly, if the interval between LOW segment Xj and nth succeeding LOW segment Xj+n exceeds the length of one track, a defect pit that could be confused with a certification pit is judged as being present between two certification pits.
