摘要:
Channel data obtained from a reproduced signal is input to a demodulation ROM as an address and demodulated. In the demodulated channel data, the data whose data pattern is not consistent with a 2-7 modulation method is recognized as an error data. When a resync code, given in the channel data at every 15 bytes is not detected within a predetermined time period, a resync code undetected signal is generated. The demodulated data is arranged in a matrix, and the position of the error data in the matrix and the resync code undetected generation position are specified. An error correction circuit carries out the error correction (erasure correction) by using these positions and an error correction code relating to one direction of a row or a column of the matrix.

An optical disk apparatus records data on an optical disk or reproduces data therefrom. The optical disk has a plurality of zones each including a plurality of tracks, and the optical disk apparatus records or reproduces data with respect to the zones on the basis of clock signals having different frequencies. The optical disk apparatus comprises first and second phase comparators. The first phase comparator is a pull-in type and outputs a signal corresponding to the phase difference between a clock signal generated by a PLL circuit and a binary signal of reproduction data. The second phase comparator is a lock-in type and outputs a signal corresponding to the phase difference between a signal obtained by frequency-dividing the clock signal generated by the PLL circuit and a signal obtained by frequency-dividing a fundamental clock signal. When data is to be recorded or when the timings at which the PLL circuit outputs clock signals are not appropriate, the clock signals of the PLL circuit are processed by a voltage controlled oscillator in accordance with a signal supplied from the pull-in type first phase comparator. When data is to be reproduced, the clock signals of the PLL circuit are processed by the same voltage controlled oscillator in accordance with a signal supplied from the lock-in type second phase comparator.

The present invention aims at preventing erroneous data reproduction even when the amplitude center of a signal of a data part read out from an optical disc is displaced. An information reproducing apparatus comprises read means for reading data stored in each of block units on an optical disc and outputting a read signal, digitizing means for digitizing the read signal by using a slice level, generating means for comparing the signal digitized by the digitizing means and clock signals output at predetermined intervals, thereby generating a charge width signal representing a phase difference between the digitized signal and the clock signals, while the data stored in a data storing portion of the block unit is read by the read means, and changing means for changing the slice level of the digitizing means on the basis of the charge width signal generated by the generating means.

An information processing system has a scanning apparatus which includes a brake mechanism for braking a turntable, on which an optical disk is mounted when the motor for rotating the turntable is stopped. A lock mechanism for preventing the optical head from moving is also activated. The lock mechanism operates in interlock with the brake mechanism when the brake mechanism is activated. The brake and lock mechanism are driven by a common drive source.

In a device for recording or reproducing information by using a light beam, there is provided an optical disk comprising a base plate, a recording layer formed on the base plate, tracks provided for recording information on the recording layer, and a focus check area for checking if the light beam is focused at the optimum position on the recording layer when an optical head which generates the light beam faces the recording layer. Accordingly, it is possible to change the focus position for the recording layer of the optical disk by the objective lens of the optical head during recording and reproducing information. Also, it is possible to set it at a position where the bit error rate is smallest and has a wider margin for the shaft of the adjust position.

A data recording apparatus has an optical scanner for optically scanning a document and for outputting an image signal corresponding to the document pattern, a modified Huffman coding circuit for compressing the image information output by the optical scanner for each scanning line, and a page buffer memory for storing the image signal compressed by the modified Huffman coding circuit as line image information items. The line image information items are read out from the page buffer memory in units of a fixed number of bits, and are divided into image data pieces of a fixed bit length. Dummy data is added to the terminal end image data which does not have the fixed bit length, thus forming a terminal end image data of the fixed bit length. Error correction data is set for each image data piece.

The recording scheme of an optical disk is initially determined by a cartridge identifier housing the optical disk. The optical disk is then rotated at a rotational speed corresponding to the initially determined recording scheme, and a signal processing circuit is switched. Management data recorded on the optical disk is read to also determine the recording scheme, thereby improving the reliability of the determination. When no management data can be read, a recording scheme and associated rotational speed are changed. The management data representing the recording scheme is then read according to the changed recording scheme. A medium type determined based on the management data has priority over that of the medium type obtained by the identifier of the cartridge.

An apparatus, having a spindle motor for rotating a circular optical disk, for recording information on the optical disk rotated by the spindle motor, and reproducing information recorded on the optical disk, wherein whether the recording scheme of the optical disk is a mark interval or mark length recording scheme is discriminated, and information is recorded or recorded information is reproduced while the optical disk is rotated at a rotational speed corresponding to the discriminated recording scheme. In an apparatus for recording/reproducing information in accordance with both the mark interval and mark length recording schemes, a signal amplifier, a demodulation circuit, a modulation circuit, an error correction circuit, a buffer memory, an interface circuit, and the like can be commonly used between the two recording schemes, thereby decreasing the number of signal processing circuits.
