4.4.3 Defect sector management

Sector mapping is executed based on the ISO/IEC 10090 standard for 128 MB
media, the ISO/IEC 13963 standard for 230 MB media, the ISO/IEC 15041
standard for 540 and 640 MB media, and Cherry Book for 1.3 GB media, the
Cherry Book 2 for 2.3GB media. Basically, possibly defective sector management
is not required for the host.

Defective sectors cannot be deleted from the host, except for certifying recordable
areas. Recordable areas can be certified with the FORMAT UNIT command.

4.4.4

Automatic alternate sector assignment function

The ODD automatically assigns an alternate sector if a verify error is detected in
the ID or data section during the WRITE (I0) command, or WRITE AND
VERIFY and ERASE command. Alternate sector information is registered in
SDL (Secondary Defect List) on media.
