To realize the recording control method structured in the manner that signals are recorded on a disk by laser emitted from an optical pickup.

This recording control method is used for a plurality of optical disk recording and reproducing devices 2, 3, 4 which are controlled in operation by means of a recording command signal generated from a single host equipment 1, and which are structured so as to record the same data signal on disks. In this case, after each optical disk recording and reproducing device is turned to a recordable state by the recording command signal generated from the host equipment 1, when at least one device has recording abnormality, its recording operation is suspended while the recording operation of other devices are continued.
