摘要:
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on an optical recording medium including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along a track formed on the substrate, and the groove structure being wobbled in a radial direction of the medium. The track is divided into a plurality of recording units in the track direction by at least one radial boundary line formed by a dropout portion, wherein identification information is disposed in the track at a head of each recording unit at the dropout portion. The apparatus includes an irradiation source for irradiating a light spot on the optical recording medium, an optical detector for detecting a reflected light from the medium, and a reproducer for reproducing information by using a signal from the detector.

A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on an optical recording medium having a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along tracks formed on the substrate, and each of the tracks being divided into a plurality of recording units. Each of the recording units includes a dropout portion of the groove structure which is a non-groove portion along the track in a circumferential direction of the track, and the groove structure is wobbled in a fixed cycle in a radial direction, which continues in the circumferential direction along the track. The apparatus includes an irradiation source for irradiating a light spot on the optical recording medium, an optical detector for detecting a reflected light from the medium, and a reproducer for reproducing information by using a signal from the detector.

摘要:
A recording method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along tracks formed on the substrate, each of the tracks being divided into a plurality of units, each of the units including a dropout portion of the groove structure which is a non-groove portion along the track in a circumferential direction of the track, the groove structure being wobbled in a fixed cycle in a radial direction which continues in the circumferential direction along the track. When the wobble is formed in the circumferential direction of the track, the dropout portion is formed so that a phase of the wobble is continued with a phase of the wobble of the groove structure within another unit adjacent to the dropout portion. The method includes providing the optical medium, and recording information by irradiating an optical spot on the medium.

摘要:
An optical disc apparatus and method for recording and reproducing information to/from an optical disc, including discrimination of the optical disc, reading control information in an un-recordable area formed in an inner periphery of the optical disc, conducting focus control based on a focus error signal in a recordable area formed outside of the un-recordable area, and determining an optimum offset value of the focus error signal in the recordable area. Further, adjustment in amplitude of a reproduced signal from an inner periphery of the recordable area is conducted, test-writing in the inner periphery of the recordable area is conducted, test-writing in an outer periphery of the recordable area is conducted, and adjustment in amplitude of a reproduced signal from the outer periphery of the recordable area is conducted. The respective operations are conducted sequentially so as to make the optical disc in a reproducible and recordable condition.
摘要:
An optical reproducing method using an optical medium having a disk-like substrate with plural levels associated with grooves, and a plurality of zones. Each track is divided into a plurality of recording and radially adjacent recording units of a respective zone are delimited by a pair of radial lines joined to form a central angle at an apex proximate to a center of the disk-like substrate. The grooves are wobbled in the radial direction of the disk-like substrate with a length of each recording unit being an integer multiple of a cycle of the wobble, and the integer multiple being the same for the different zones. An optical spot is irradiated on the optical medium, a reflected beam from the optical medium is detected, and information on the optical medium is reproduced by using a signal obtained by the reflected beam.
