摘要： An optical disk using both grooves and lands as a recording track is provided with {circle around (1)} a data area for recording/reproducing data and {circle around (2)} DMAs (Data Management Areas) for managing a defective sector in the data area. The DMAs include four DMAs A–D all formed on the lands. The DMA B(D) is formed behind the ending sector of the DMA A(C). This arrangement realizes a DMA format having high resistance to defects and improving a processing rate. Consequently, highly reliable optical disk and optical disk apparatus can be provided.

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： 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.

摘要： A clock extracting section generates a first clock synchronized with a reproducing signal, and a second clock with a frequency twice a frequency of the first clock. An AD converter quantizes the reproducing signal at timing of the second clock. A data classifier classifies the quantized data into two quantized data streams with a period of the first clock. Each equalizer equalizes the two quantized data streams to (1,1) and (1,2,1) partial response characteristics. Each branch metric arithmetic unit calculates a corresponding branch metric respectively. A synthesizer calculates a sum of them so as to generate a synthetic branch metric. An ACS circuit and a data decoding section Viterbi-decode data according to the synthetic branch metric. As a result, even if an SN ratio is lowered by increase in interference between codes and a noises at the time of recording at high density, an error of decoded data can be decreased.

摘要： An optical disk device of a simple structure using an optical pickup alone as read mechanism for detecting a thickness of the substrate of an optical disk. The optical disk device (1) carries out the focus search by moving the focal point of a laser beam emitted through an objective lens in a direction along the thickness of the optical disk in a region covering both the substrate surface and the recording layer, (2) converts S-shaped wave forms produced in a focus error signal FES from a two-piece photo-diode when the focal point passes through the substrate surface and recording layer, respectively into a digital signal CP.sub.out, and (3) detects a pulse interval of the digital signal CP.sub.out, by means of an MPU. Since the MPU detects the number of pulses of the digital signal CP.sub.out, the optical disk device can also detect the number of the recording layers.

摘要： A feedback control apparatus in an optical recording and reproducing device for recording, reproducing and/or erasing data from an optical recording medium projects a light beam emitted from an optical head onto the optical recording medium. The apparatus includes an actuator for controlling the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the optical recording medium, a detection unit for detecting the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the optical recording medium, and a control amplifier for driving the actuator in accordance with a detection signal outputted from the detection unit, thereby controlling the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the recording medium. The apparatus further includes a switching device for selectively switching from a detection signal from the detection unit to a reference signal, or vice versa, and for inputting into the control amplifier, the reference signal having the same signal level as that of a detection signal which is expected to be outputted from the detection unit when the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the recording medium are appropriate. An offset compensation device outputs an offset compensation signal to the control amplifier. The offset compensation signal is set such that a control signal generated in the control amplifier has a predetermined signal level when the reference signal is inputted into the control amplifier. The apparatus prevents a DC offset from being included in the control signal from the control amplifier and reduces the procedures required for adjustment during the manufacturing process without employing expensive parts and devices and the like, thereby lowering the production costs.
