A method of modulating digital data to a variable-length code having parameters d, k, m, n, and r for recording information on and reproducing the same from an optical disc. The optimal range of a minimum run length d corresponding to the minimum number of successive same symbols is determined by a procedure which includes a first step to determine the minimum S/N required for obtaining a desired error rate from the relationship between a bit error rate and the S/N when d=0; a second step to obtain the relationship between a change of the numerical value d and that of the S/N by calculating, on the basis of the required minimum S/N obtained at the first step, the S/N loss caused due to the change of the numerical value d; and a third step to determine, from the relationship between the numerical value d and the S/N, the range of the value d corresponding to the S/N of the transmission characteristic dependent on an optical system and an optical disc.

A modulating method and apparatus and a demodulating method and apparatus wherein high density recording can be achieved and a dc component can be controlled with a variable length channel code are disclosed. Recording data are divided into a predetermined plurality of blocks, and those of the recording data at a portion other than a boundary portion of each of the blocks are coded referring to a table of a first ROM so that data of m bits may be converted into a code of n bits. The remaining data at the boundary portion of each block are converted into a code referring to another table of second ROM so that data of m bits may be converted into a code of n bits. Further, a code of n bits for minimizing a dc component is produced referring to a third table of a further ROM and is added to the code generated by the first and second ROMs.

A synchronization detector includes a NRZI circuit for extracting edge portions of RF signals detected as binary-valued signals to form a pulse train, a counter for counting the number of channel clocks in the distance between transitions represented by the edge portions, a latch circuit operated responsive to pulses from the NRZI circuit for holding a number of previously counted channel clocks immediately preceding a current count of channel clocks, and AND gates and an OR gate for detecting synchronization signals when the combination of the channel clocks from the counter and the latch circuit is the combination of the maximum distance between transitions Tmax and Tmax-kT (k=1 or 2) of a (d, k; m, n; r) modulation code. Synchronization signals may be detected promptly even if the frame structure is increased in size to enable restoration of synchronization to be expedited when frame structure synchronization is not in order. A demodulator utilizing the synchronization signal detector is also disclosed.

In a data modulation method, m-bit data is modulated to n-bit data (n.gtoreq.m) having fewer direct current and low frequency components. A dispersion of the digital sum variation of code weights can be reduced, a direct current component is reduced and an error rate can be further reduced by selecting a plurality of modulation tables constituting the combination of one or more sub-groups of modulation data obtained by dividing a group of modulation data by a code weight having the same value based on the digital sum variation of the code weights accumulated until a time at which m-bit data is converted to n-bit code and converting next m-bit data continuously to present m-bit data to n-bit code by using the modulation tables.

In a data conversion method of converting source data of M bit unit to be recorded on a recording medium into conversion data of N (>M) bit unit, n, which is a number of inter-symbol interferences permitted in a transmission path, continuous codes in the codes of the conversion data are weighted with a weighting distribution decreasing linearly from a distribution center, the weighted n continuous codes are sequentially added to form the intermediate series, and then such conversion data that the sum of absolute values of differences of codes between the intermediate series (i.e., the code length) is more than a predetermined number of times as large as a reference value of the weighting coefficient is selected as a modulation code, whereby the pattern length between the code patterns can be made larger to thereby improve the recording density remarkably with using the present recording medium and recording and/or reproducing apparatus. Further, the pattern of the reproduced signal corresponding to the data to be detected is compared with a code pattern group corresponding to each conversion data to select a similar pattern so that the conversion data recorded at a remarkably high recording density can be positively detected while using the present recording medium and recording and/or reproducing apparatus.

The present invention relates to a transmission device and a transmission method which can efficiently perform transmission of audio signals with infrared ray and suppress the complication of data processing in modulation and demodulation processes to the minimum level. Audio signals reproduced by a digital audio instrument are transmitted to and recorded into a digital audio recorder through an audio signal transmission device by infrared ray. In the digital audio recorder, the recorded audio signals are immediately reproduced, transmitted and output to a digital audio instrument through an audio transmission device with infrared ray. In the transmitters, a transmission channel clock having the frequency of 5/4-times the data clock thereof from the audio signals, and modulated signals obtained by modulating the audio signals are output at the timing of the transmission channel clock.
