In an information recording and reproducing apparatus for recording or reproducing information to/from tracks by irradiating a light spot to an optical disk in which N sectors are included per track and the number of necessary alternating sectors per track is set to M, the apparatus has a track format such that when a desired moving time of the light spot between the adjacent tracks is k times as long as a desired sector passing time of the light spot, M or more alterating sectors are arranged subsequent to the ordinary sectors to record user's data. The light spot jumps between the tracks for a period of time corresponding to k sectors. Thus, the recording of information to a certain track and the subsequent reading check (Read After Write) can be effectively executed at a high speed.

An amplitude difference between a reproduction signal from a preformat portion of an optical disk and a reproduction signal from a recording portion of user's data is obtained. When the amplitude difference exceeds a predetermined value, a first gain value which was set for information from the preformat portion is used as a gain value of an AGC circuit for reproduction and a gain control of the reproduction signal is performed. On the other hand, when the amplitude difference is smaller than the predetermined value, a second gain value which was set for the user's data is used. Thus, a situation such that a noise and a remaining signal of the user's data which was not erased are erroneously recognized as an inherent reproduction signal can be prevented. A discrimination to see if the data has been recorded in the recording portion of the user's data or not can be also accurately performed.

When it is detected that the light spot stays in a same track for a time exceeding a predetermined length of time, the light spot is moved to any other track. Thus, the light spot is prevented from staying on a same track for a long time without recording/reproducing data.

In recording and/or reproducing data into and from a disk record medium having a record medium in which a plurality of tracks are arranged radially, the record area is divided into a plurality of zones, and a clock frequency is assigned to each zone. The data recording and/or reproducing are performed according to the clock of the frequency assigned to the respective zone. Each zone is subdivided to include a plurality of tracks, and a clock having a different frequency is assigned to each zone. Each frequency is set in such a manner that the record capacity of the track gradually becomes larger as the zone is nearer to the outer zone.

In a method for recording/reproducing information, a reference pattern is recorded in a certain predetermined domain so that the leading-edge and the tailing-edge of a certain recorded portion are positioned in a predetermined relationship, when coded bits of data are recorded on a recording medium by forming recorded portions physically different from not recorded portions, while making them correspond to leading-edges and tailing-edges of the recorded portions. A first and a second reproduced signal indicating the leading-edge and the tailing-edge of the recorded portion, respectively, are detected independently from each other from a reproduced waveform corresponding to the recorded portion, which has been thus recorded; and the first and the second reproduced signal are reconstructed while correcting edge shifts produced at recording data by storing the first and second reproduced signal in a memory, so that the first and the second reproduced signal indicate the leading-edge and the tailing-edge of the recorded portion corresponding to the reference pattern, respectively, in the predetermined relationship.

This invention is intended for MCAV-based information processing which records and/or reproduces data. A disc-shaped recording medium having a record area formed in a plurality of concentric tracks is rotated at a constant angular velocity, the record area is partitioned into a plurality of zones depending on the radial position, base clock frequencies are assigned to the zones so that an outer zone has a higher clock frequency than an inner zone, and data is recorded and reproduced in each zone in accordance with the base clock of the assigned frequency. In recording and reproducing data, a VFO signal recorded together with the unit block data of recording and reproduction (sector) is reproduced thereby to produce a VFO clock which is synchronous with the reproduced VFO signal by means of a phase lock circuit (VFO), and, in introducing reproduced data which follows the VFO signal into the reproduced data introduction circuit, synchronization disorder (sync-disorder) of the VFO clock is detected. At detection of sync-disorder, reproduced data corresponding to recorded data following the data in the sector with the event of sync-disorder is introduced to the reproduced data introduction circuit in response to the VFO clock which is synchronous with the VFO signal recorded together with the recorded data, despite the sync-disorder.

摘要:
If information is to be recorded on and reproduced from a recording medium in correspondence between a code train in the form of a run-length-limited code and the positions of the leading edge and the trailing edge data of a status transition pattern such as pits, recording domains, a sync signal is inserted at regular intervals in the information converted in the form of the run-length-limited code. The sync signal is constituted by a code train capable of deciding that the sync signal includes a code not existing in the conversion rule into a run-length-limited code during reproduction using a leading edge data or trailing edge data relative to the transition pattern.
