摘要:
In a tracking or focusing servo control loop (3b, 3c, 41, 20; 3a, 42, 21), there are provided a switch element (6a; 6c) for switch-controlling a tracking or focusing error signal, and a smoothing circuit (7a; 7c) for switching passage the error signal. An amount of detected reflection from an optical recording medium (11) is monitored by a controller section (3b, 3c, 5a, 6b, 7b, 8a; 3a, 5b, 6d, 7d, 8b), and the switching action of the switch element is ON/OFF-controlled by the controller section so as to maintain a servo loop gain at a predetermined standard. Thus, it is possible to maintain a constant servo loop gain without being influenced by variation in the laser light amount or difference in reflectivity characteristics of the recording layers of individual optical recording media, and constantly stable tracking servo control and/or focusing servo control can be performed.

An error correction coding and decoding circuit for digitally coded information in which a majority difference set cyclic code is used to apply error correction coding and decoding to a data signal having data bits suitably assigned to information bits and parity bits, characterized in that a clock signal (CLKC) for the internal operation of the circuit, a data load clock signal for loading data onto the circuit, and a data read clock signal for reading data from the circuit are delivered from an external circuit provided separately from the error correction coding and decoding circuit.

摘要:
For recording or reproduction of information, the optical beam is moved relative to the recording medium (11) along the longitudinal direction of a certain track (14). When accessing another track, the relative movement of the light beam along the longitudinal direction of the track is decelerated, and during this deceleration, the light beam is started to move in the direction transverse to the tracks toward the desired track. Thus, it is not necessary to wait for such time when the relative movement of the light beam along the longitudinal direction of the track has been completely stopped, and hence the necessary accessing time can substantially be reduced. If control is made to cause a decelerating rate of the relative movement to decrease continuously gradually or stepwise from a relatively high decelerating rate to a relatively low rate and the light beam is caused to start relatively moving toward the desired track while the relative movement is at the relatively low decelerating rate, it is allowed to effectively suppress occurrence of unwanted mechanical vibration due to abrupt deceleration of the relative movement.

In an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus, the recording operation is interrupted when an information pit, dust, scratch, stain, etc. is present on an optical recording medium. However, the recording operation is resumed and kept continued when a dust, scratch, stain, etc. other than the information pit is present on the medium. The apparatus comprises a double recording detecting circuit for detecting a pseudo double recording signal generated by a dust, scratch, stain, etc. on the medium at a period of a recording operation; and a recording signal supply circuit for interrupting the recording operation when the double recording detecting circuit detects the pseudo double recording signal to switch the recording period to a monitor period, for maintaining the interruption of the recording operation when a real double recording signal generated by an information pit is detected at the monitor period, and for resuming the recording operation when the real double recording signal generated by an information pit is not detected at the monitor period. After the recording operation has been resumed and further when the pseudo double recording signal generated by a dust, scratch, stain, etc. still remaining on the medium is detected, the monitor and recording periods are repeated alternately. However, after the medium has become free from a dust, scratch, stain, etc. finally and therefore the real and pseudo double recording signals are not both generated, the recording operation is kept continued normally.
