The present invention provides a disc drive apparatus which identifies a type of a disc mounted on the apparatus by using reflected beam data obtained from a laser beam focused on the disc surface and other reflected beam data obtained from the laser beam being focused on the disc signal plane. For example, while forcibly changing the laser beam focusing point within a variable range at a predetermined velocity, a luminous energy signal or a focus error signal is used to count a time difference between a timing of focusing on the disc surface and a timing of focusing on the disc signal plane. According to the time difference obtained, the disc mounted is identified as a first type of disc or a second type of disc.

An optical pickup device is disclosed in which a light beam from a laser light source is converged by an object lens on a signal recording surface of an optical disk to follow recording tracks formed on the signal recording surface to read out or write data on or from the signal recording surface. A semiconductor laser unit is used as a laser light source and is so arranged that the meridional plane of the light beam emanating from the semiconductor laser unit is inclined 30.degree. to 60.degree. with respect to the tangential direction of the recording track.

Front-mounted in-vehicle equipment arranged to a front part of a vehicle internal space, rear-mounted in-vehicle equipment arranged to a rear part of the vehicle internal space, and a connection adapted to connect the front-mounted in-vehicle equipment and the rear-mounted in-vehicle equipment is described. Rear-mounted in-vehicle equipment controls the front-mounted in-vehicle equipment via a keyboard or game controller, thereby allowing a passenger to control the front-mounted in-vehicle equipment in a straightforward manner from the rear-mounted in-vehicle equipment instead of the driver operating the front-mounted in-vehicle equipment. The rear-mounted in-vehicle equipment can be denied access to overwriting information related to music data in the front-mounted in-vehicle equipment.

An optical pickup device includes a liquid crystal element having transparent electrodes, one of which has a plurality of areas divided in a concentric manner. The liquid crystal element can compensate for a spherical aberration that is generated when information is reproduced or recorded on two types of optical recording media. When one of two light beams supporting the two types of optical recording media having a larger value of an effective diameter is a first light beam and the other having a smaller value is a second light beam, parts of areas located inside an effective diameter of the second light beam and areas located outside the same to which the same voltage is applied for compensating for a spherical aberration generated in the first light beam are connected electrically to be the same potential.

Astigmatism of a beam of first laser light is cancelled at a position separated from first optical element by a predetermined distance on an optical axis of the beam of first laser light by refracting to transmit the beam of the first laser light by being refracted by rotating by a predetermined angle around an axis orthogonal to the optical axis of the beam of the first laser light, refracting a beam of second laser light to coincide with the optical axis of the beam of the first laser light and rotating by a predetermined angle around a second axis orthogonal thereto.

After the initiation of writing, an output signal from an LPF is sampled in correspondence with a portion with a predetermined pulse width of recording data, so as to obtain a pit level. In the resultant signal, its varying portions which correspond to the multi-pulse trains of the write signal are smoothed. A controller modifies a level of a target level signal to be supplied to an APC circuit in such a manner that the pit level becomes an optimum pit level which has been obtained prior to the initiation of writing.
