摘要:
In optical disk having a track formed of groove tracks and land tracks connected every revolution to form a single spiral, each revolution-of the tracks is divided into sectors, each having identification signal region at the head of the sector, and the identification signal regions in tracks adjacent to each other are aligned in the radial direction. Prepits are formed in the identification signal region, on an extension of a boundary between groove and land tracks adjacent to each other. The prepits have a width substantially equal to the width of the grooves. The identification signal including address information of the sector. The polarity of tracking error signal is detected at the identification signal region of the recording sector, and whether the recording sector is in a groove track or land track is determined based on the polarity of tracking error signal. The identification signal may include information concerning the timing for switching tracking polarity in accordance with whether groove or land sector is being scanned.

An optical disc using a single-spiral land and groove track format enabling accurate tracking offset correction and reliable detection of the transition point between a land track and a groove track, and a driving apparatus therefor. Four physical address areas PID1, PID2, PID3, and PID4 are recorded to a header area such that PID1 and PID2 are offset one-half track pitch toward the outside circumference of the disc from the groove track center, and PID3 and PID4 are offset one-half track pitch toward the inside circumference of the disc from the groove track center, and the physical address areas PID1-PID4 can be detected by means of a difference signal in the radial direction. The single frequency pattern area VFO at the beginning of each PID is lengthened by PID1 and PID3, thereby enabling tracking offset correction using a sum signal, and detection of the land-groove transition point using a difference signal obtained from the PID offset.

An optical disc having both rewritable area and read-only area is disclosed. The rewritable area has a single spiral pattern of start track land at a leading edge, and a single spiral pattern of end track land at a trailing edge, whereby portions of the physical address area PID deviated approximately Pa/2 from the track of the rewritable area are being intruded into the start track land and the end track land.
摘要:
An audio signal is recorded in a semiconductor memory in a plurality of hierarchical levels, with the lowest level sufficing for reproduction with a certain reduced degree of fidelity. Successfully higher hierarchical levels provide successively greater fidelity when reproduced. When the memory has been determined to have reached maximum capacity, recording continues by overwriting the highest hierarchical level of data currently stored in the memory with lower hierarchical levels of new data. A code is recorded in the memory, indicating the number of hierarchical levels recorded therein, for subsequent reproduction. The audio signal can furthermore be recorded in variable-length frames and reproduced at high speed by reading every N-th frame, N being a positive integer, or by reading only frames having at least a certain minimum length.

A code is recorded in the memory, indicating the number of hierarchical levels recorded therein, for subsequent reproduction.

摘要:
A digital signal which is recorded on a recording medium with being encoded is duplicated to another recording medium without being decoded. An audio signal is recorded and/or reproduced using data recorded in a TOG of the recording medium. A first data signal (2-channel audio signal) is intermittently recorded on and/or reproduced from a first area of the recording medium, and a second data signal (other 2-channel audio signal) is intermittently recorded on and/or reproduced from a second area of the recording medium during a period in which the first data signal is not recorded or reproduced.
摘要:
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus records audio signals digitized by rotary heads (9, 10) on a magnetic tape (12), and reproduces the recorded audio signals. Clock signals and time code data are extracted from externally inputted time code signals by means of a demodulating circuit (72), and phase difference between the frame clock signals and the reference signal is detected by a phase difference detecting circuit (74). A microcomputer (23) assigns the phase difference information and the time code data to sub code packs and stores the same in the memory circuit (4). The stored phase difference information and the time code data are recorded on the magnetic tape. In reproduction, the microcomputer outputs the original time code signals responsive to the reproduced phase difference information and the time code data.
摘要:
A magnetic recorder/reproducer converts two-channel analog signals into digital signals by a sample-and-hold/A-D converter circuit (3) and controls addresses in a memory circuit (4) by a memory address control circuit (5), to distribute the digital signals into odd sample groups and even sample groups per each channel for arraying the odd sample groups and the even sample groups of the same channel in alternate scanning intervals, thereby to write the same in the memory circuit so that the odd samples and the even samples of the same channel are arrayed in positions separated from each other along the direction of scanning by rotary heads (10, 11). The digital signals thus permutated are modulated by a modulation circuit (7), to be recorded in a magnetic tape by the rotary heads. The digital signals reproduced by the rotary heads are demodulated by a demodulation circuit (14), to be stored in a memory circuit (15). A memory address control circuit (16) controls addresses so as to permute samples of the reproduced digital signals stored in the memory circuit to be in the original array thereof. The reproduced digital signals read from the memory circuit are converted into analog signals by a D-A converter (18), to be outputted through a low-pass filter (19).
摘要:
A PCM signal is divided into groups each including S sampled values represented by B bits respectively and R code error check bits are added to each group to form one frame. The frames are successively and repeatedly recorded in N tracks on a recording medium with frame synchronizing signals each including M bits, the signals alternating the frame in each track. The frame synchronizing signal in each track delays the next track by m bits. The m satisfiesm = (B .times. S + R - m')/(N - 1) and M = m - m'Where m' designates the number of bits fully filling a temporal spacing between the end of the frame synchronizing signal in each track and the beginning of the next track.
