    摘要: A record carrier is for recording information by writing marks in a track on a recording layer. The shortest mark used for recording the information has a length of a predefined minimum number d of channel bit lengths. The record carrier (11) has a pregroove that is modulated by a carrier pattern containing long marks (18,19) that provides a focus area (12) at a predefined location on the recording layer. The long marks have lengths of at least two times the length of the shortest mark for being substantially longer than the effective diameter of the scanning spot. A scanning device locates the focus area and determines the best focus offset by detecting the maximum read signal amplitude while scanning the carrier pattern.

    摘要: The invention relates to a playback apparatus for retrieving information from an information carrier (2). The information has been recorded on the information carrier (2) in the form of variations of a first physical parameter. The playback apparatus scans the information carrier by means of a transducer (4), which is responsive to said variations of said physical parameter. An information recovering circuit (5) recovers the information from a first detection signal (D1) received from the transducer (4). The information recovering circuit (5) comprises a phase-locked loop (51). The information carrier (2) exhibits a second variation of a second physical parameter, which differs from said first physical parameter but which is detectable by means of said transducer (4). A detection circuit (6) detects the presence of the second variation on the basis of a second detection signal (D2) received from the transducer (4). The idea of the invention is that the detection circuit (6) is capable of using the phase-locked loop (51) of the information recovering circuit (5) to detect the presence of the second variation. The invention can be implemented very easily in, for example, DVD players to detect the presence of an information carrier (2) with DVD+RW format or an information carrier (2) with DVD-RW format. Only switching means (7) and some minor electronics have to be added; there is no need for an additional phase-locked loop.

    摘要: Disclosed is an arrangement for reading an information carrier, comprising a read head for scanning the information carrier along a scanning path and thereby generating one or more electrical signals in response to a pattern recorded along the scanning path; a signal processing unit for processing the one or more electrical signals; electrical conductors for conveying the one or more electrical signals to the signal processing unit; characterized in that the arrangement further comprises controllable termination means for terminating at least one electrical conductor with a selectable impedance, the controllable termination means comprising at least two impedances and selecting means for selecting an impedance to terminate the at least one electrical conductor. The controllable termination means can select one of the at least two impedances. This makes the arrangement according to the invention capable of tuning to varying circumstances. If for certain circumstances a high impedance is needed, then a high impedance is selected. The varying circumstances can, for instance, be the speed at which the information carrier is rotated or the type of read head that is used.
