Record carrier with a servo track having wobble with reduced cross-talk and an apparatus for scanning the record carrier

A recording and/or playback device comprising means for writing and/or reading information blocks represented by marks having lengths expressed in channel bits in an information track on a servo track of a record carrier, said record carrier comprising a servo track indicating an information track intended for recording information blocks represented by marks having lengths expressed in channel bits, said servo track having a wobble, said wobble being a periodic variation of a physical parameter of the servo track, and the servo track constituting a concentric or spiral pattern of substantially parallel tracks at a track pitch t, wherein a track pitch of the servo track and a length of a wobble period p are related so that 2πt/p≈n+½ where n is an integer greater than zero, said recording and/or playback device comprising means for scanning the servo track and for retrieving the record carrier information, wherein the recording and/or playback device further comprises means for generating a wobble signal from the record carrier, and wherein the length of the wobble period p corresponds to a whole number m times the length of a channel bit.
