摘要:
An optical or magneto-optical disk storage which automatically adjusts a recording/reproducing level of a number of kinds of optical or magneto-optical disks having different recording/reproducing levels to an optimum recording/reproducing level. The optical or magneto-optical disk storage has an attenuator which applies a predetermined attenuation amount to a reproduced signal reproduced from an optical or magneto-optical disk so as to attenuate the reproduced signal, or intensity adjusting means for adjusting the intensity of a laser beam used for recording and/or reproducing. The optical or magneto-optical disk storage detects an amplitude of the reproduced signal and feed-back-controls the attenuation amount or intensity of the laser beam in accordance with the detected amplitude.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving accuracy of recording and reproducing information onto and from a magneto-optic recording information medium. In the first method, a width of a mark formed by a relatively low intensity light beam between two kinds of light beam intensities used for recording information is made larger than a sum of a track land width and the maximum track offset of the light beam, thereby the mark formed by the relatively low intensity light beam covers the track land portion in its full width. In the first apparatus, a reflected light beam from the magneto-optic recording information medium is split into a reflected beam for information reproducing and a reflected beam for tracking and focusing servos at the reproducing, thereby the apparatus can remove part being affected by the track groove portion from the reflected light beam for information reproducing. In the second method and apparatus, an intensity ratio of the two kinds of intensities of light beams used for information recording is controlled in such a manner that a mark width formed by the relative low intensity light beam is wider than a mark width formed by the relative high intensity light beam.

In an optical disk storage, the seek of an optical head is controlled so that the number of seek times cannot exceed a threshold number of times in a predetermined period or an accumulated seek period cannot exceed a threshold period in a predetermined period. Therefore, a wasteful power consumption and a rise in the internal temperature associated with the seek activity can be effectively prevented.
摘要:
A disk apparatus comprising a controller receiving commands from a command input device and controlling an entire operation of the disk apparatus. The rotating control function is coupled to the controller for controlling the first motor. The pickupmotor control function is coupled to the controller for controlling the second motor. The pickup control function is coupled to the controller for controlling a focusing operation and a tracking operation of the pickup. And the signal processing function is coupled to the controller for processing a recording signal to be recorded on the disk-shaped recording medium and a reproduced signal read out therefrom. The controller is comprised function-stop function for determining whether or not any command is received from the command input device during a predetermined period of time in a state. The disk apparatus is maintained in a predetermined mode and for stopping predetermined function among the rotating control function, the pickup motor control function, the pickup control function, and the signal processing function when it is determined that no command is received from the command input device during the predetermined period.
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.
