Abstract

An optical disk that has a BCA, from which data can be reproduced even if the BCA has defects. The data format of the BCA comprises a plurality of sub-data units and coupling codes, each coupling two adjacent sub-data units. The sub-data units contain the same data. To reproduce the data, the sub-data units are checked for errors. The data recorded in any sub-data unit that has no errors is reproduced and output to a next stage circuit connected to the optical disk drive.
