In an optical disc player or other apparatus in which a light beam is directed through an objective lens to be focused thereby at a record medium surface for optically reading information recorded in a track on such surface; the objective lens has its central axis offset in respect to the longitudinal axis of a cylindrical body forming part of a movable assembly and through which the light beam passes axially, and such cylindrical body is both angularly displaceable about its longitudinal axis and axially displaceable relative to a guide bearing forming part of a fixed assembly to correct for tracking errors and for focusing errors, respectively. The fixed assembly further includes a magnetic circuit generating a magnetic field which intersects coils included in the movable assembly to receive focusing error and tracking error signals, respectively.

A muting circuit which includes an amplifier having input and output terminals and a bi-directional transistor connectd between the output terminal and a circuit point of low reference potential. The transistor has emitter base and collector regions, the emitter region having a low impurity concentration substantially the same as that of the collector region and a potential barrier being provided opposite to the junction of the emitter and base regions at a distance which is smaller than the diffusion length of minority carriers of the base region. A control signal generating means including time constant means for turning on the bi-directional transistor is provided. The time constant means assures that the bi-directional transistor will be on for only a brief interval of time to bypass the output signal of the amplifier to the low reference potential circuit point and thereby avoid the presence of a pop noise at the speaker.

An optical disc includes a disc base plate of a light-transmitting synthetic material having a recess for mounting a magnetic plate, and a holding part, integral with the disc base plate, for loosely holding the magnetic plate mounted in the recess with respect to the disc base plate. It is possible with the present optical disc to prevent distortion of the disc base plate otherwise caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the two components to inhibit double refraction of the disc base plate otherwise caused by such distortion to maintain good recording/reproducing characteristics.

An optical disc recording apparatus in which audio data obtained by digitizing analog audio signals and time base compressing the resulting digital audio signals are read from a buffer memory on the cluster-by-cluster basis so as to be recorded on a recording track of a first optical disc and then a second optical disc. During the time interval when a cluster audio data unit next to the last cluster audio data unit written on the first optical disc by a first optical disc driver 14 is read from a memory 14, a second optical disc driver is captured into synchronization for continuously recording audio signals on the first and the second optical discs under the control of a system controller.

The present invention relates to a recording method and a recording apparatus for use with a disc having a data area in which data has been recorded and an area for recording control information (i.e., Table of Contents information) for accessing a head to the data area. The recording apparatus comprises means for inhibiting the fetching of a disc if the control information has not been recorded in a predetermined area of the disc. Further, by providing a memory for storing the control information, the invention permits the accessing of a head to the data area in accordance with the content of the memory. Thus, information recorded on the disc before the control information is recorded onto a predetermined area on the disc can be reproduced.

A disc-shaped recording medium and a recording/reproducing apparatus employing the disc-shaped recording medium as a recording medium, are disclosed. The recording medium has a diameter of not more than 80 mm, and a recording track is formed on the recording medium with a track pitch of approximately 1.6 .mu.m. Information in excess of 130 Mbytes is recorded in a data compressed state on the recording track and the recording medium is rotationally driven at a constant linear velocity for recording and optically reproducing the information. The recording/reproducing apparatus employing the disc-shaped recording medium as a recording medium includes a buffer memory between a data compressing circuit for compressing input digital data and a recording encoding circuit for processing the compressed data by modulation suitable for recording, as long as a recording system of the apparatus is concerned, and a buffer memory between a playback decoding circuit for processing the compressed data by error correction decoding and demodulation complementary to the modulation and a data expansion circuit for expanding the compressed data to the original state. By suitably selecting the capacity of the buffer memories, recording and reproduction may continue satisfactorily even if the scanning position of the recording head and the optical head undergoes track jump during recording or reproduction.
