A method for recording address information on an optical recording medium,
an optical recording medium including address information recorded
thereon by the same method, and a method for detecting the address
information recorded on the optical recording medium. Physical address
information of the recordable optical recording medium is encoded for
insertion as a synchronous code in a head of each sector in an error
correction code block unit including a predetermined number of sectors.
After the encoded physical address information is modulated into a wobble
signal, a wobble-shaped groove is formed on the optical recording medium,
using the wobble signal. This configuration allows sector-by-sector
addressing operation without reducing the data recording capacity of the
optical recording medium for recording real data.
