摘要:
A focus control apparatus for a multilayer optical recording medium performs an adequate focus jump on a multilayer optical recording medium. Threshold values are set according to the amount of a level change in a focus error signal of a loaded multilayer optical recording medium, and focus jump control is conducted based on the result of comparison between the level of the focus error signal and the set threshold values. Positive and negative threshold values to be compared with the level of the focus error signal to detect a zero-crossing point of the focus error signal are set in accordance with the amount of a level change in the focus error signal, after which an acceleration operation of the focus actuator is started in response to a focus jump instruction to shift the focus position of read light for a focus jump, the acceleration operation is stopped in accordance with zero-crossing detection, a deceleration operation of the focus actuator is started thereafter and is stopped in accordance with zero-crossing detection, so that the operation returns to the focus servo operation.

An operation mode is first selected in which tunes recorded in a digital audio disk are sequentially reproduced. Reproduction-undesired tunes are selected by operating a manipulator for stopping reproduction of a currently reproduced tune and starting the next tune during every reproduction of the reproduction-undesired tunes so that their numbers are stored in a memory. In subsequent reproductions, the number of each tune going to be reproduced is compared with the numbers of the reproduction-undesired tunes stored in the memory and the tune is skipped if its number is included in the stored numbers.
摘要:
A pulse-width modulation drive circuit for a load such as a motor, particularly, a motor used in a compact disc player or the like, in which losses in diodes used to absorb reverse EMF are substantially eliminated. For this purpose, the pulse widths of pulse signals used to on-off control drive current flow through the load are controlled so as to eliminate the diode losses. The circuits of the various embodiments of the invention are designed so as to be easily implemented in integrated circuit form.

A carriage controller for a multi-layer disc which is capable of performing a stable carriage control during reproduction of a multi-layer disc of the opposite recording scheme. A tracking error signal is relayed by an equalizer, and a carriage motor is driven in accordance with an output signal of the equalizer. An information reading direction on a layer of a disc on which a pickup reads information is detected, and an equalizer characteristic is set in the equalizer in accordance with the detection result.

A method for controlling the operation of a disk player pickup control system includes the steps of reading position data representing the present position of a pickup from a disk, calculating the distance from the present position to the home position of the pickup according to the position data thus read, and moving the pickup to the home position according to the distance thus calculated. The above-described method for operating the control system is particularly advantageous in that it allows the pickup of a disk player, which does not include a mechanical limit switch, to be moved to the home position.
摘要:
A rotation control system for disk player in which the player detects the size of a disk housed in the player, varies the starting torque to be given to the disk motor in response to the detected size, and controls the disk motor so as to require substantially the same length of time before a prescribed rotational frequency is attained, irrespective of the size of the disk.
摘要:
A system for storing information representing at least one data item selected for playback from a plurality of data items recorded on a recording medium. The system includes playing back one of the plurality of recorded data items for a predetermined period of time at a fast playback speed which is greater than a normal playback speed used during normal playback of a data item to determine if the data item being played back at the fast playback is to be subsequently played back at the normal playback speed, storing information representing the data item being played back in a memory only if the played back data item is to be subsequently played back at the normal playback speed, and repeating the playing back and storing for each of the plurality of recorded data items so that information representing each of the plurality of recorded data items which is to be subsequently played back at the normal playback speed is stored in the memory.

A machine having a function for adjusting the position of mechanical origin of a moving part (10) that is driven by a servo motor equipped with a position detector, comprising a reference counter (16) for counting the value detected by the position detector, a storage unit (17) for storing the capacity of the reference counter of when the moving part is moved in a predetermined direction and is positioned at the position of mechanical origin, a reference counter reading unit (18) for reading the value of the reference counter of when the moving part is positioned, a counter capacity reading unit (19) for reading the counter capacity of the reference counter, and an adjustment amount calculation unit (20) for calculating the amount of adjusting the position of mechanical origin based on the value of the reference counter and on the capacity of the reference counter.
摘要:
The printer (1) includes a control unit (20) including a function reproducing multiple tones by outputting energization data that is dot control data in multiple cycles in line units to a head unit (10) including a plurality of dot generating elements disposed in a line. The control unit (20) includes: a thermal head control circuit (60) supplying the energization data of each cycle and a latch signal for the energization data of each cycle to the head unit (10); and a mask circuit (70) operable when the energization data of the current cycle is the same as the energization data of the previous cycle, to erase the current energization data and the signal for latching to be supplied to the head unit (10).
