Abstract:
This specification discloses a recordable optical recording medium containing preinstalled information, the method of reading the preinstalled information, and the circuit thereof. The recordable optical recording medium containing preinstalled information is a substrate with a spiral pregroove. Microscopically, the pregroove has regular wiggles. They are featured in containing a first waveform, a second waveform, and a third waveform with the same fundamental wave cycle. The duty cycle of the first waveform is 1. The duty cycles of the second and third waveforms are distinct. The combinations of these duty cycles are used to record the preinstalled information. Moreover, the invention discloses a method and circuit of reading the preinstalled information. After obtaining the wobble signals, the method further takes the steps of phase corrections, integrations, and resetting to more accurately obtain the preinstalled information.
Abstract:
A data recording device. A random data generator randomly generates substitute data. A recording data generator receives original data and a recording address from a host, receives the substitute data, compares the recording address with a reference address, and outputs the substitute data according to the comparison result. An encoder generates a first data block according to the substitute data. A modulator modulates the first data block. An optical pickup records the modulated first data block on the optical recording medium according to the recording address.

Abstract:
When restoring signals from an optical recording medium, one usually obtains nonlinearly distorted signals. The equalizer disclosed in the prior art can only process linear signals. A new structure that can process nonlinearly distorted signals is disclosed, which including an A/D converter for sampling restoring signals. The restored signals are processed by an adaptive linear equalizer to extract the errors. The errors are then fed into a nonlinear equalizer for correcting the nonlinear distortion.
