    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.

    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.

    摘要: An audio signal is recorded in a semiconductor memory in a plurality of hierarchical levels, with the lowest level being adequate for reproduction with a certain reduced degree of fidelity. Successively higher hierarchial 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.

    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).
