摘要:
Disclosed is a method of reproducing optical information by applying laser light to the medium while rotating a recording medium having concentric information tracks or a spiral information track so that the linear velocity of the medium is constant, and thereby reproducing the information recorded on the recording medium by the reflected light. In this method, in moving a reproduction radial position to a second radial position different from the current position, a laser power is changed to second laser power, which is different from current laser power, and then the light spot is moved to the second radial position. This method can prevent degradation of a medium in reproduction light resistance caused by substantially high power reproduction, and erasing or destruction of already recorded data that may be caused, in high-speed recording of a rewritable-type or write-once-type optical disc, when the linear velocity at the time of reproduction becomes slow, e.g. , in an access operation at the time of reproduction with a constant linear velocity and in a return operation from rotational stop due to a standby state.
摘要:
An optical disc reproducing apparatus and an optical disc recording apparatus for reproducing an optical disc. The apparatus includes an optical pickup unit for irradiating a laser beam to the optical disc, an optical pickup drive unit for moving the optical pickup in the radial direction of the optical disc, and a motor unit for rotating the optical disc. When a tracking jump command is issued, the optical pickup drive unit moves the optical pickup unit in the radial direction of the optical disc at the timing in accordance with the rotation speed of the optical disc after the laser beam irradiated to the optical disc has passed the address information recording portion indicating the address of the optical disc.
