    摘要: An information reproducing apparatus has (1) a reference signal generating circuit for generating a first reference signal corresponding to reproduced signal of the main information; (2) a first switching circuit for selecting one of the reproduced signal and the first reference signal; and (3) a controller, which generates a selection instructing signal, for controlling such that the reproduced signal is selected during reproducing of the main information recorded area while the first reference signal is selected during reproducing of the main information unrecorded area. With the arrangement, when the main information unrecorded area is reproduced, the clock for carrying out the reproducing of main information is synchronized with the first reference signal which corresponds to the reproduced signal. So, when the reproducing area is changed from the main information unrecorded area to the main information recorded area, the synchronizing with the reproduced signal is carried out in a short time, thereby improving the reliability of the reproducing process.

    摘要: A disk-shaped recording medium has a groove only one of whose side-walls wobbles or deviates in radial directions of the disk in order to prerecord first address information. In addition, the disk medium has block areas in the groove and in the land where the first address information is given and sector areas provided with second address information for every piece of recording data which is divided into predetermined lengths, wherein `m` pieces of sector areas are allocated for `n` pieces of block areas and recorded in the groove and the land (both n and m are integral numbers, and n is smaller than m). The second address information based on the first address information enables the sectors to be set at any length, and improves reliability of the address information. Moreover, the second address information realizes high density recording using both the land and the groove.

    摘要: Pieces of leading compressed information, each of which corresponds to a predetermined number of blocks of each of a plurality of programs recorded on an optical disk, are successively read therefrom, and stored in a buffer memory in a compressed state as they are. Upon reproducing a certain program, the corresponding leading compressed information is read from the buffer memory, and reproduced after having been subjected to a decompressing process in an information-decompression processing circuit. The program is continuously reproduced by reading compressed information corresponding to the predetermined number of blocks following the leading compressed information from the optical disk and supplying the compressed information to the buffer memory. With this arrangement, it is possible to eliminate a slow switching operation in the case when programs are switched to start reproducing a different program.

    摘要: A data recording and reproducing apparatus uses a rewriteable optical disk with pre-recorded absolute address information, and comprises a data compression circuit for dividing and compressing continuous digital data into compressed plural data blocks, an expansion circuit to restore the compressed data to the original expanded form, and a buffer memory. Data is compressed in discrete data blocks and is recorded sequentially block by block to the optical disk. The compressed data is likewise read block by block from the disk during data reproduction. Using the data expansion circuit to expand the compressed data one block at a time, the data recording and reproducing apparatus can reproduce the original continuous digital data stream. Plural continuous digital data selections can thus be reproduced by alternately fetching data for the plural selections from the disk in compressed data block units and temporarily storing the data to a buffer memory for expansion.

    摘要: An information recording and reproducing apparatus employs a magneto-optical disk including a main information recording area wherein plural pieces of main information can be recorded and a TOC area wherein control information related to each piece of main information can be recorded. When a reproducing operation cannot be performed from the TOC area, it is checked whether or not any pieces of control information exist, for example, by detecting an amplitude of a reproduced signal. Or, whether or not a recording or reproducing function of the apparatus works properly may be checked by, for example, a method of test writing and reproduction. As a result, whether or not the magneto-optical disk is a blank disk can be accurately determined. Further, when the disk is determined to be a blank disk, distinctive information indicating a blank disk is recorded in a predetermined portion of the TOC area. Thereafter, upon loading the disk, the disk is promptly determined to be a blank disk. On the other hand, when the disk is not determined to be a blank disk, at least a recording operation is inhibited, thereby eliminating a possibility of destroying useful main information already recorded in the main information recording area.

    摘要: An information recording and reproducing device has a first recording clock generation circuit which generates a clock based on pre-recorded information on a magneto-optical disk, a second recording clock generation circuit and a switching circuit The switching circuit selects a first recording clock when recording information is of discrete information and selects a second recording clock when recording information is of successive information. Moreover, in the present device, a first reading clock is used as well as a second clock as a clock for reading out the reproduced data from the magneto-optical disk, which had been once stored in memory. The second reading clock having a reference frequency is generated by a second clock generation circuit and is used for reading out successive information such as music information. The first reading clock in synchronization with the reproduced signal is generated by a first reading clock generation circuit and is used for reading out discrete information such as computer-use data. In addition, in the case of discrete information, it is possible to start recording/reproducing operation immediately after an optical head reaches a desired position, thereby permitting to shorten an access time.
