摘要:
A disc apparatus in which recorded data can be correctly reproduced despite occurrence of a low-reliability area at a specified position on a disc on which synchronization signals are recorded. A comparison error signal between the playback RF signals read out from a disc 100 and channel clocks PLCK enters a VCO 15 via a phase/frequency comparator 12. A VCO 15 generates PLCK at a frequency corresponding to the voltage of the comparison error signal. A data detection unit 16 takes out data from the playback RF signals. If a Sync pattern detection interpolation unit 17 detects the Sync pattern correctly from this data, the above comparison error signal is directly fed to the VCO 15 and, if otherwise, the sample-and-hold unit 14 holds the voltage of the comparison error signal by control signals from a controller 20. At this time, interpolation of the Sync patterns by the Sync pattern detection interpolation unit 17 is discontinued.

If there is any portion in channel bit data obtained on converting a signal read out from a recording medium into a bi-level signal which fails to satisfy a condition concerning a minimum run length or a maximum run length of the same symbol, the channel bit data is corrected to improve the bit error rate to secure a skew margin. To this end, channel bit data not satisfying a minimum run length d' of the same symbol is detected by a (d'-1) detector 4 using n-tupled clocks obtained on n-tupling channel clocks of playback data by a bit clock generator 2, where n is an integer not less than 2. A correction position of the channel bit data having the run length of the same symbol equal to (d'-1) is designated by a correction bit position designating unit 5. A data correction unit 6 then corrects the channel bit data so that the minimum run length of the same symbol will be equal to d'.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for information signals in which, in recording and/or reproducing information signals responsive to a request from a host device, a first address defined with the time domain information is converted into a second address defined with consecutive hexadecimal numbers and vice versa by way of reciprocal address conversion. Specifically, an uppermost order value in the time domain information in the first address and a second address value are converted reciprocally using a conversion table.
摘要:
A recording medium of the recordable type in the form of a multi-layer disc or the like which is improved in compatibility and feasibility in use and a recording apparatus and a recording method ready for the recording medium are disclosed. A region for recording interlayer folding back position information is set on the recording medium (for example, “End sector number in Layer 0” or a session item type 3). In response to a fact that recording on a certain recording layer reaches a maximum recording range or that data recording advances from a certain recording layer to a next recording layer, interlayer folding back position information is recorded on the recording medium. This signifies that such recording is performed when advancement of the data recording to another recording layer is performed at a stage prior to disc closing or session closing or when it is predicted that such advancement of the data recording occurs soon. Also where the disc is of the type for which multi-session recording is performed, interlayer folding back position information is recorded with regard to a session in which folding back is performed.
摘要:
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data on or from an optical disc, in which the tracking error signal format for a recordable optical disc differs from that for a replay-only optical disc. The recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a read-out processing unit for reading out data from the optical disc, a write processing unit for writing data on the optical disc and a system controller for managing control to verify the recordable optical disc having data recorded by the write processing unit by a reproducing system conforming to the standard for the replay-only optical disc. The recordable optical disc is verified by the reproducing system for the replay-only optical disc.

When writing data to a normal-density CD-R, data linking blocks including two run-out blocks are appended to each packet of the data, and the data is interleaved with a maximum delay of 108 frames. On the other hand, when writing data to a double-density CD-R, data linking blocks including three run-out blocks are appended to each packet of the data, and the data is interleaved with a maximum delay of 189 frames. There are provided a data recorder, data recording method, data player, data playback method, and an optical disc with which data can properly be written to or read from an optical disc having an increased recording density, and which can support an optical disc having the current format.
摘要:
An apparatus of forming an evaluation signal used in adjusting focus bias and adjusting skew of a disk drive in which phase error information between a phase of a read data signal and a phase of a clock signal formed in synchronism with the read data signal, is detected, the phase error signal is converted into an analog signal and is outputted as an evaluation signal having a signal level in accordance with the phase error amount and the evaluation signal is inputted after A/D conversion to a portion for carrying out signal quality evaluation by using the evaluation signal whereby pertinent signal evaluation can be carried out by a simple constitution.

A reproducing method for a record medium includes the steps of performing a demodulating process for data that have been read from a record medium on which content data have been recorded, management information and additional information being embedded in the content data, the management information being with respect to a copy management, the additional information containing one of error detection code and error correction code added to the management information, detecting the additional information from a demodulated output signal, performing an error detecting process corresponding to one of the error detection code and the error correction code, and controlling an output operation for the demodulated output signal for the content data read from the record medium corresponding to the management information when no error is found in the error detecting process.
摘要:
The amount of light reflected from a disk is detected, and it is determined according to the amount of reflected light whether the disk is a recordable disk or a rewritable disk. The disk is controlled according to the result of determination such that it is rotated at a constant angular velocity (CAV) or at a constant linear velocity (CLV) and recording is executed. Further, rotation driving control of the disk is selected according to factors other than the type of the disk, such as according to whether random recording is allowed or not, according to a recording state in the disk, according to whether an alternative area is provided or not, according to a recording start position, or according to whether initialization is required or not. CLV control or CAV control is appropriately selected for a disk at recording to suppress a reduction in accessibility and a reduction in data transmission rate.
