In an apparatus for recording data on a rewritable optical disk with a mark edge recording the occurrence of edge shift is compensated for. As a first power of a laser beam is greater than a second power, start and termination ends of each mark are produced by irradiation of the first power and a remaining intermediate portion of the mark is produced by irradiating the first and second powers alternately at equal intervals of a predetermined duration which is shorter than a period of a clock pulse. Also, the start and termination ends of the mark are specifically dislocated corresponding to a length of the mark and lengths of two neighbor spaces before and after the mark.

A digital information playback apparatus comprises A/D converter that converts a playback signal into digital data, a maximum likelihood decoder that decodes the quantized data output from the A/D converter to obtain the original digital information, and a timing signal extractor that generates a sampling clock used in the A/D converter, and wherein the maximum likelihood decoder detects the response characteristic of the record/playback system and obtains level fluctuations contained in the playback signal, based on the survival path obtained as a maximum likelihood decoding result, to control the expected multilevel equalized values used in the maximum likelihood decoder, the timing signal extractor obtains level fluctuations, based on the survival path obtained as a maximum likelihood decoding result, and obtains the component of the level fluctuations due to phase shifts of the sampling clock of the VCO to control the phase of the sampling clock of the VCO.

Address groups are composed of two of address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19, where the address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19 are disposed in a sector address region 5 and include identifiable information of address numbers 13 and overlapping sequential numbers 14. The address groups are disposed so that each group is alternately shifted from a track center 2 toward the inner periphery side or the outer periphery side, by a width substantially equal to half the track pitch, along the radius direction.
摘要:
An optical disk of the present invention has one or more recording tracks formed concentrically or spirally on the disk to which data signals are recorded by forming different-length marks and spaces on the tracks. An ID signal combining marks and spaces of two or more predetermined lengths approximately equal to the length of the marks and spaces forming the data signals is recorded to the recording tracks within a predetermined disk area, thus creating the ID signal by aligning the marks and spaces in the radial direction and recording the aligned marks and spaces to adjacent tracks in a predetermined radial disk area. Also, a reproduction apparatus for reproducing signals from the optical disk is disclosed.

An analog-to-digital converter executes analog-to-digital conversion of a first analog video signal at a predetermined sampling frequency "fs". A time base converter converts a time base of an output signal from the analog-to-digital converter at a predetermined time base conversion frequency "ftci". A digital output signal from the time base converter is converted into a corresponding second analog video signal in response to a clock signal of a frequency corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The second analog video signal is converted into an FM video signal recorded on a video region of an optical disk. A binary audio digital signal is converted into a multi-level form digital audio signal. The binary audio digital signal has a data rate corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The multi-level form digital audio signal has a data rate "ftci/n" and 2.sup.n discrete amplitude levels where "n" denotes a predetermined integer. The multi-level form digital audio signal is converted into a corresponding analog audio signal in response to the clock signal of the frequency corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The analog audio signal is converted into an FM audio signal recorded on an audio region of the optical disk. A data signal generator generates a digital data signal at a data rate "ftci/m" where "m" denotes a predetermined integer. The digital data signal is converted into a corresponding analog data signal in response to the clock signal of the frequency corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The analog data signal is converted into an FM data signal recorded on a data region of the optical disk.
摘要:
In a clock generator circuit, a zero hold circuit produces from a fixed clock signal a zero hold clock signal which is in phase with an external sync signal. A phase comparator circuit produces phase difference data indicating the phase difference between the external sync signal and an internal sync signal. A counter cleared by the external sync signal counts pulses of the zero hold clock signal to obtain count data. A memory receiving the phase difference data and the count data as its address input produces the internal sync signal when the count data is smaller than the number of pulses in one cycle of the external sync signal having no time-base variations, and a phase control signal determined by the phase difference data and the count data. A phase shifter shifts the phase of the zero hold clock according to the phase control signal to obtain a modified clock signal synchronized with the external sync signal.
