摘要:
In an apparatus in which information is reproduced by projecting/receiving an optical beam to/from a recording carrier having a large number of information tracks, tracking control is performed so as to maintain a reproducing position on an information track by supplying a track deviation signal to an actuator. If this track deviation signal becomes asymmetric by an inclination, etc. of the recording carrier so that a shock is applied to the apparatus, jumping out of a track occurs, resulting in slip-off of the optical beam from the reproducing position. This slip-off can be prevented by detecting a position of a movable support member carrying a focusing lens for projecting and receiving the optical beam and feeding back the position signal to the tracking control system, or by extracting a low-frequency component of an output signal of a control circuit and feeding back the extracted signal to the tracking control system.

The temperature around the tracking actuator is detected with a temperature sensor, and the characteristics of an equivalent digital filter are changed to match the characteristics of the tracking actuator at the detected temperature. When the temperature is low, a current is applied to the focus control coil to raise the temperature of the tracking actuator, thereby essentially matching the transfer functions of the tracking actuator and the equivalent filter.

A tracking control target position adjusting track is provided on a recording carrier, where the track contains a preliminarily recorded first position-adjusting signal adjoining one side of track and a second position-adjusting signal adjoining the other side of track. While the reproduction position set on the target-position adjusting track, the tracking control apparatus adjusts the tracking-control target position based on reproduced first and second position-adjusting signals. As a result, the tracking control apparatus can precisely adjust the tracking control target position, thus providing quite satisfactory interchangeability with the corresponding apparatuses.
摘要:
A velocity detection method and an apparatus therefor, in which the relative velocity between a light beam and tracks is detected on the basis of a period for which the light beam crosses the tracks, and under the condition that the light beam has passed by a predetermined position on the way to the target track, the detected relative velocity is compared with a predetermined velocity value so that when the detected relative velocity is larger than the predetermined velocity value the detected relative velocity is invalidated on the assumption that erroneous detection is generated by noise.
摘要:
A system for recording or reproducing a signal by focusing and irradiating a light beam on a record carrier from a light source while controlling the light beam to always scan the track on the record carrier is disclosed. A track jump that may occur during recording or reproducing a signal on the record carrier is accurately detected. The reliability of the system is thus improved in such a way as to take appropriate action in case of a track jump.

An optical information reproduction apparatus for reproducing information from a disc having a plurality of tracks storing the information in the form of pits includes a radiation device for radiating a light beam toward the disc to form a light spot on the disc; a moving device for moving the radiation device to move the light spot in a direction crossing the plurality of tracks in a radial direction of the disc; a photodetector having a detecting plane for receiving the light beam reflected by the disc, the detecting plane being divided into four detection areas at least in a direction parallel to a tangent of the tracks and in a direction perpendicular to the tangent of the tracks, the four detection areas generating light intensity signals corresponding to the intensities of the light beam which is received; a positional offset detector for detecting a positional offset of the light spot with respect to one of the tracks based on the light intensity signals generated by the photodetector and outputting the detection result as a positional offset signal; a signal processor for performing processing of the light intensity signals including logic operation to obtain an operation signal; and a direction detector for detecting a direction in which the light spot moves with respect to a target track based on the positional offset signal and the operation signal during the movement of the light spot toward the target track.

A tracking control apparatus having a track jump detection device and a memory for storing driving signals for the tracking control detects a track jump, and when such a track jump has occured, makes the tracking control inoperative, decelerates the velocity of light beam caused by the track jump by driving a voice coil motor using signals inverted from the signals stored in the memory, and, thereby, restarts the tracking control quickly.
摘要:
A data-track accessing apparatus effectively eliminates external disturbance components from a track-deviation signal and correctly locates an objective track at an extremely fast speed. The apparatus includes an actuator which transfers a light beam in a direction of traversing tracks, a track-deviation detecting circuit which detects an amount of track deviation when the light beam traverses the tracks, a binary-coding circuit which converts the detected track-deviation signal into a binary-coded signal, an external-disturbance-component removal circuit which removes external disturbance components from the binary-coded track-deviation signal, and a speed-discriminating circuit which discriminates the moving speed of the light beam into multiple stages based on an output signal from the removal circuit.
