    摘要: A defect detection apparatus has a simple constitution and performs accurate defect detection while clearly differentiating between defect detection and tracking error detection. The defect detection apparatus includes a photodetector having a light-receiving area for receiving a return light beam from a recording medium irradiated with a light beam. A defect on the recording medium is detected based on an output from the photodetector. The defect detection apparatus according to the present invention comprises signal generation means for generating on the basis of an output from the photodetector at least two phase detection signals having phases which vary in a manner complementary to each other according to a deviation of the light beam from a track of the recording medium, adding means for adding up absolute value of the phase detection signal to generate a sum total signal having a value corresponding to a result of the addition, and discrimination means for comparing the value of the sum total signal with a predetermined reference value so as to generate a defect detection signal based on a result of the comparison.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for skipping a track on a disc in a disc player. Unlike current systems, this system does not rely on identifying tracks to be skipped based upon which slot a disc is located in. Instead, one embodiment of the present invention identifies discs based upon identification data read from discs in the disc player. Thus, one embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for playing discs that skips a track on a disc. The apparatus includes a disc player including a sequencing mechanism that generates a sequence of tracks from discs in the disc player. The disc player also includes an identification mechanism within the disc player that reads identification information from discs in the disc player and determines from the identification information if a specific disc is in the disc player. The disc player additionally includes a skipping mechanism within the disc player that skips a specific track if the specific track occurs in the sequence of tracks.

    摘要: A pre-pit detecting apparatus detects a pre-pit with respect to an information record medium having a record track and a guide track which is to guide a light beam onto the record track and on which the pre-pit to record control information is formed in advance. The first pre-pit detecting apparatus is provided with: a light receiving device having four divided light detection areas each for receiving a reflection light of the light beam emitted on the record track. The four divided light detection areas are divided such that the reflection light beam is divided by a first division line which is optically in substantially parallel to the record track and a second division line which is optically in substantially orthogonal to the record track. The light receiving device outputs first to fourth light detection signals corresponding to the first to the fourth division areas respectively. The pre-pit detecting apparatus is also provided with: a first difference signal generation device for generating a first difference signal by subtracting the third light detection signal from the first light detection signal; a second difference signal generation device for generating a second difference signal by subtracting the second light detection signal from the fourth light detection signal; a correction device for delaying the second difference signal by a delay time; and a pre-pit detection signal output device for adding the first difference signal and the delayed second difference signal to output it as a pre-pit detection signal.
