On an information record medium (1), information is optically recorded and
reproduced while a servo control is performed with respect to the
information record medium by a push-pull method. The information record
medium is provided with: a record/reproduction area (DA) having a groove
track (2), which is wobbled and continuously formed and on which the
information is recorded and reproduced by a phase changing method by use
of a light beam (B) having a wavelength of not less than 630 nm
(nanometer) and not more than 680 nm; and a reproduction-dedicated area
(RA) where a plurality of phase pits (PI) are wobbled and formed in
advance, each having a depth of not less than 60 nm and not more than 90
nm and where only an information reproduction is possible by the light
beam.
