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.

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.

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.

In a CIRC encoder for carrying out error correction coding processing with a CIRC, a first interleaver and a second interleaver are provided which have different delay parameters, and these interleavers are switched in accordance with the recording density of an optical disc for recording data. Also, in a CIRC decoder, a first deinterleaver corresponding to the first interleaver and a second deinterleaver corresponding to the second interleaver are provided, and these deinterleavers are switched in accordance with the recording density of an optical disc for reproducing data. A recording/reproducing system is realized which is capable of carrying out appropriate recording and reproduction of data to and from an optical disc having a higher recording density can be carried out and is also capable of handling an optical disc of an existing format.

In a magneto-optical signal reproducing apparatus for reading out a signal recorded on a magneto-optical recording medium by an optical pickup device so as to provide a magneto-optical signal which, in turn, is level-discriminated on the basis of a reference level to reproduce data therefrom, the reference level is controlled in accordance with a level of an in-phase signal component provided from the optical pickup device, thereby enabling stable data reproduction.
摘要:
In a magneto-optical recording apparatus, in which light spots are sequentially formed on a magneto-optical disk at the timing of a predetermined reference clock signal while a modulating magnetic field, which is reversed in polarity as a function of record data in synchronism with the reference clock signals, is applied to the disk for magnetically recording the record data thereon; the timing of polarity reversal of the modulating magnetic field with respect to the reference clock signal is delayed as a function of the magnetic and/or temperature characteristics of the magneto-optical disk to permit a magnetized domain to be formed at the correct position with respect to the timing of the reference clock signal. The intensity and/or duration of intermittent energizing of the light beam is controlled as a function of the ambient temperature of the magneto-optical disk and/or the radial sweeping position of the light spot to permit each magnetized domain to be formed at the correct position with respect to the timing of the reference clock signal.
