1. An information recording system, comprising:
- a record carrier having a preformed recording track which is transversely modulated in accordance with an auxiliary signal which includes successive address codes specifying addresses of successive track portions at which said address codes are located and auxiliary codes, arranged among said address codes, specifying control data for use by the recording system, said auxiliary codes having identifying indicia which distinguishes them from said address codes; and
a recording device comprising read means for reading said auxiliary signal from said track, recording means for recording an information signal on said track, means for selectively extracting said address codes and said auxiliary codes from said auxiliary signal read from said track, and control means for controlling said recording means in accordance with said control data specified by said auxiliary codes.

Abstract
A recording device, record carrier, and information recording system including both. The recording device is adapted to read an auxiliary signal from the record carrier. The record carrier has a track which is transversely modulated in accordance with the auxiliary signal. The auxiliary signal includes address codes which specify addresses at which those codes are located on the track, and auxiliary codes which specify control data for use by the recording device when recording an information signal on the track. The address codes and auxiliary codes are distinguishable from each other and can be extracted by the recording device.
