摘要:
If there is any portion in channel bit data obtained on converting a signal read out from a recording medium into a bi-level signal which fails to satisfy a condition concerning a minimum run length or a maximum run length of the same symbol, the channel bit data is corrected to improve the bit error rate to secure a skew margin. To this end, channel bit data not satisfying a minimum run length d' of the same symbol is detected by a (d'-1) detector 4 using n-tupled clocks obtained on n-tupling channel clocks of playback data by a bit clock generator 2, where n is an integer not less than 2. A correction position of the channel bit data having the run length of the same symbol equal to (d'-1) is designated by a correction bit position designating unit 5. A data correction unit 6 then corrects the channel bit data so that the minimum run length of the same symbol will be equal to d'.

A magnetic modulator coil driving circuit comprises: first and second switching elements for inverting the polarity of exciting currents supplied to magnetic modulator coils, first and second bias voltage setting circuit for determining control voltages to be applied to the first and second switching elements to adjust the currents flowing through the first and second switching elements to a predetermined value, and a data input circuit for supplying modulating data to turn on and off the first and second switching elements alternately. The magnetic modulator coil driving circuit applies a control voltage to the control electrode of the corresponding switching element to control the exciting current to be supplied through the switching element to the corresponding magnetic modulator coil so that the exciting current coincides with a desired value when a reference voltage is applied to the control electrode. Thus a fixed exciting current is supplied to the magnetic modulator coil so that the intensity of the magnetic field may not vary due to temperature variation in the magnetic modulator coil and the magnetic modulator coil may not overheat or burn.

A magneto-optical disc recording apparatus includes a magnetic head, an optical head, a position detector and a controller. The magnetic head supplies a vertical magnetic field corresponding to recording data to a magneto-optical disc. The optical head emits a light beam to the magneto-optical disc through a substrate of the magneto-optical disc. The magneto-optical disc is arranged between the magnetic head and the optical head. The optical head has an actuator for moving an objective lens in a tracking direction. The position detector detects the displacement of the actuator. The controller controls a recording operation of the magnetic head and the optical head. The recording operation is started when a result of detection by the position detector reaches a predetermined value.

A recording apparatus performs recording on an optical disc recording medium which has a plurality of recording layers and is capable of having data rewritten thereon. The recording apparatus includes recording means for performing data recording on each recording layer of the recording medium and recording controlling means for controlling the recording means so that, among the plurality of recording layers, recording of dummy data is performed preferentially starting from a recording layer intended for the final user data recording operation.
摘要:
The amount of light reflected from a disk is detected, and it is determined according to the amount of reflected light whether the disk is a recordable disk or a rewritable disk. The disk is controlled according to the result of determination such that it is rotated at a constant angular velocity (CAV) or at a constant linear velocity (CLV) and recording is executed. Further, rotation driving control of the disk is selected according to factors other than the type of the disk, such as according to whether random recording is allowed or not, according to a recording state in the disk, according to whether an alternative area is provided or not, according to a recording start position, or according to whether initialization is required or not. CLV control or CAV control is appropriately selected for a disk at recording to suppress a reduction in accessibility and a reduction in data transmission rate.

摘要:
An optical disk driving apparatus includes a control computer, and the optical disk driving apparatus acquires a wobble signal. The control computer calculates an average period of a binarized wobble signal and a variance of the period of the binarized wobble signal. The control computer determines whether the calculated average period satisfies the specifications of DVD−R or DVD−RW and determines whether the calculated variance is below a predetermined level.
