    摘要: A servo device for controlling a reading operation of a pickup in a recording medium player, which generates a servo error signal indicative of an amount of deviation of a position at which the pickup of the recording medium player is reading for playing a recording medium. The servo device detects a blemish at a reading point focused by the pickup on the recording medium to generate a blemish detecting signal when a blemish is detected, and generates a servo hold signal based on a low frequency component of the servo error signal. The servo hold signal includes, immediately after the generation of the blemish detecting signal, a signal of opposite polarity to the polarity of the servo error signal immediately before generation of the blemish detecting signal. Further, the servo device controls the reading operation of the pickup in accordance with the servo hold signal in place of the servo driving signal during the time that the blemish detecting signal is generated.

    摘要: A feed velocity control apparatus of a disc player which can execute a stable velocity control of an information reading point by reducing influences by scratches formed on the recording surface of a recording disc, noises, or the like. A velocity signal corresponding to a transporting velocity of the information reading point at the present time point for the recording disc is obtained based on a tracking error signal. At the time of the track jumping operation, when the velocity signal lies within a predetermined velocity range, the information reading point is transferred in accordance with a velocity error signal corresponding to a difference between the velocity signal and a predetermined velocity. When the velocity signal is out of the predetermined velocity range, the information reading point is transferred in accordance with a low band component of the velocity error signal in place of the velocity error signal.

    摘要: The upper envelop signal generating unit detects the upper envelop of the detection signal to generate the upper envelop signal corresponding to the detected upper envelop, and the lower envelop signal generating unit detects the lower envelop of the detection signal to generate the lower envelop signal corresponding to the detected lower envelop. The slice signal generating unit divides the voltage difference of the upper envelop signal and the lower envelop signal using a predetermined division ratio to generate the slice signal. The averaging unit averages the slice signal to produce the average signal. The defect detecting unit compares the average signal and the upper envelop signal to produce the defect detection signal indicating the period in which the voltage of the upper envelop signal is lower than the voltage of the average signal. As a result, a very short defect like a wedge-shape defect can be reliably detected.
