A DSP of the DVD recorder includes a balance value setting portion for determining an appropriate value of a focus balance value α when information is reproduced from an optical disc so as to record the determined focus balance value α0 in a balance value storing portion and to set the same in a first amplifier of a focus error signal generating circuit, and a correction executing portion for reading the focus balance value α0 stored in the balance value storing portion when information is recorded in the optical disc 2 so as to correct the read value to be a focus balance value α1, which is set in the first amplifier of the focus error signal generating circuit.

When a main controller in an optical disc device for recording information on a rewritable optical disc having power calibration area (PCA) receives a signal from a disc detection sensor indicating the presence of optical disc, the main controller allows an optical pickup to seek to the PCA, and detects whether the PCA has free space remaining for optimum recording power control (OPC) to be performed 5 times. If it does not remain, the optical pickup subsequently erases all data recorded by trial recording in the PCA to create free space, while if it remains, the optical pickup does not perform the erasing operation. Then, the main controller along with the optical pickup performs OPC using the free space in the PCA. This makes it possible to minimize total time for OPC during the recording, and prevent occurrence of partial drop-out of recording (image cut-off) on the optical disc.

Focusing balance adjustment of adjusting a servo mechanism is executed so that reproduction quality is optimum in a state where a focusing servo is active (#5). Thereafter, tracking balance adjustment of adjusting the servo mechanism is executed so that a tracking balance deviation is cancelled which is an amplitude difference between the upper side and lower side relative to a reference level of a waveform generated in a tracking error signal when the focal point of a light beam applied to the disk crosses a track of the disk (#7).

An optical disc apparatus includes a microcomputer. The microcomputer causes an optical disc to rotate at a normal speed or a speed of a predetermined number times higher than the normal speed, according to a data read request supplied from a host computer. A PLL is controlled by the microcomputer so that it outputs, by adjusting the frequency-dividing ratio of a variable frequency divider, a first clock for normal-speed reproduction, a second clock for reproduction at a speed of a predetermined number of times, a third clock intermediate between the first clock and the second clock. When the optical disc is accelerated from the normal speed up to the speed of the predetermined number of times, the third clock is used. When the optical disc approaches a desired speed, the second clock is used to read data.

A disc reading apparatus includes a microcomputer. The microcomputer calculates, based on amount data, an outer radius (RM) of an area that is recording data. The reading speed on the determined outer radius is set to a previously set speed (V.sub.2) for the outer circumference. When reading desired data, a radius of an inner circumference (r) of the data-recorded area is calculated from time information (identification data) to calculate a reading speed (V.sub.n) for reading the data. That is, since the disc contains data recorded such that the linear velocity per unit area becomes constant, the position of a pick-up and the reading speed are represented by a generally inversely proportional linear equation. Therefore, the reading speed (V.sub.n) can be calculated based on the inner radius (r) of the area recording the data to be read, the inner and outer radii (RS, RM) of the data-recorded area, and previously set inner and outer speeds (V.sub.1, V.sub.2).

A disc apparatus includes a micro-computer. The micro-computer predicts a number of tracks for deceleration from a total number of tracks to be jumped, to thereby calculate a number of tracks for acceleration from the number of tracks for deceleration and the total number of tracks. A thread motor is accelerated until a number of tracks being jumped becomes equal to the number of tracks for acceleration. Thereafter, the thread motor is decelerated to a rotational speed lower than a determined value.

A two-MCU system includes a main-MCU and a sub-MCU. When any one of operating keys is operated, an operation signal is applied to the sub-MCU. Thereupon, the sub-MCU detects the operation of the operating key, and makes a timer start to count a time period. The sub-MCU, when no specified command is received from the main-MCU irrespective of a lapse of a predetermined time period, determines that the main-MCU is being in a hang-up state. Then, the sub-MCU applies a reset signal to a reset circuit thereby to reset the main-MCU, and the two-MCU system returns from the hang-up.

A disk apparatus includes a DSP (digital signal processor), and the DSP controls respective circuit components under instructions of a MCU. During a track jump, a DSP core detects a zero-cross cycle of a TE (Tracking Error) signal just before. If a detected zero-cross cycle is delayed than a target value, the DPS core applies an acceleration pulse of a first predetermined level to a driver, and if the zero-cross cycle is faster than the target value, the DPS core applies a deceleration pulse of a second predetermined level to the driver, whereby an objective lens can be controlled to move at approximately constant speed between adjacent tracks. However, if the zero-cross cycle is considerably delayed than the target value, the DSP core forestalls a reverse rotation of a moving direction of the objective lens against the disk by greatly accelerating the objective lens. Therefore, the number of tracks to have been jumped is not to be counted erroneously.

In a disc apparatus, a tracking error signal from an optical pickup is outputted to a micro-computer. The micro-computer discriminates a disc that is different in bit density (track pitch) based on amplitude and/or waveform of the tracking error signal.

An optical disc apparatus includes a turntable. The turntable is first rotated at a low speed in response to turning on of a reproduce switch on the disc apparatus, and the balancer is, in turn, brought to rest at an optimal position for low speed rotation. When the balancer comes to rest, automatic adjustment is effected. When the automatic adjustment is ended, the turntable is decelerated in rotation to release the balancer from resting. When the rotation speed of the turntable reaches a speed at which the balancer is released from resting, the balancer becomes movable relative to the turntable. Thereafter the turntable is brought into high speed rotation to move the balancer to rest at an optimal position for high speed rotation.
