摘要:
An optical disk physical has a recording region divided into zones, each zone including physical tracks adjacent to each other. An integer number of sectors are provided in each physical track. The angular recording density is higher in the more outward zones such that the linear recording density is substantially constant throughout the recording region, and logical tracks are formed of a predetermined number of sectors, independent of the physical tracks. The conversion between the logical track and sector addresses read from the disk and the linear logical addresses supplied from a host device is easy. The addresses written in headers of the sectors in the logical track in which data are actually recorded, including substitute sectors used in place of defect sectors, are preferably consecutive to further facilitate the conversion between the logical track and sector addresses read from the disk and the linear logical addresses supplied from the host device. Each of the zones can be set to serve as any of the different types of recording area, independently of other zones.

An optical disk has a recording region divided into zones, each zone including physical tracks which are divided into a number of sectors. The optical disk further includes a structure management table which stores an attribute for each zone indicating whether the corresponding zone is a recording area which permits rewriting of a recording area that does not permit rewriting.

An optical disk has a recording region divided into zones, each zone including a number of adjacent physical tracks. An integer number of sectors are provided in each physical track. The angular recording density is higher in the more outward zones such that the linear recording density is substantially constant throughout the recording region, and logical tracks are formed of a predetermined number of sequentially numbered sectors. A logical track includes a series of 2.sup.n sectors, n being an integer.

摘要:
An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks. Each information track having a data field including multiple data bytes and a servo field including a first servo byte having a pair of wobbled pits and a second servo byte having a clock pit. The byte length of at least one of the first or second servo bytes being longer than the byte lengths of the data bytes. The increased byte length providing for greater distance between the wobbled pits and the clock pit resulting in increased reliability in clock pit detection. An accessing apparatus for accessing such an optical disc including a phase-locked loop circuit with a frequency dividing ratio that varies in accordance with the various byte lengths.

An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks, each information track having a servo field including a pair of wobbled pits and the clock pit. The distance between one of the wobbled pits and the clock pit in each servo field is selected so that the optical disc includes at least three different types of servo field. These different types of servo field appear in a predetermined sequence for every one or more contiguous information tracks. A transducing apparatus for tranducing such an optical disc has a direction detecting circuit for detecting the moving velocity of a movable portion of an optical head, and a speed detecting circuit for detecting the relative velocity of the movable portion.

A recording medium drive apparatus has a first detector for detecting tracking information and a second detector for detecting focusing information when magnetization information and pit information recorded on an optical disc are reproduced and detected. This apparatus also comprises a preamplifier having the function of selecting by a control signal either a mode for adding and amplifying output signals of the first and second detectors by utilizing a predetermined gain or a mode for subtracting and amplifying those output signals by utilizing another predetermined gain, of unconditionally selecting the polarities of the added and subtracted amplification signals by means of the control signal, and of selectively outputting signals V.sub.i (i=1, 2, 3, 4).

摘要:
An optical disk has two sides for recording data and at least one recording area for each side. Each recording area is associated with an attribute which designates whether the corresponding recording area is an area which permits rewriting or an area which does not permit rewriting. Data representing the attribute for the at least one recording area of each side is recorded in a structure management table provided in a predetermined part of the disk of each side. The two sides of the disk have different attributes.
