    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption and to improve reliability in recording operation. SOLUTION: In a magnetic head drive circuit 15 provided with a resonant commutation type H bridge circuit, switching elements Q2, Q4 connected to a ground side perform on/off control at the timing according to a recording data DR waveform, and the switching elements Q1, Q3 connected to a power source side perform the control so as to be intermittent at a duty ratio based on a modulation signal waveform and a clock period, and those make so that an amplitude level of a coil current (drive current) iL is held to a fixed level, and control so that the level doesn't raise according to a time lapse.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To relieve the processing burden on a microcomputer. CONSTITUTION: This sync detecting device is provided with a sync pattern detection means 41, a sector number detection means 44, a byte count 43 and a sync detection control means 45. The sync detection control means 45 releases the lock of a window signal for detecting a sync pattern when a specified data sector (≠D) is detected by a sector number detection means 44 (WNDRST), and locks the window signal when a sync signal (RSYNC) is detected matching with sync timing (SYCTMG) generated from the byte count means 43. Then, when the sync signal (RSYNC) is detected within the period of time prescribed by the locked window signal (WNDTMG), the detected sync signal (RSYNC) is validated.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To eliminate the occurrence of localization of output sound. CONSTITUTION:Data of LR channels is read out of a disk 1, stored in a memory means 13, data read out of this memory means is supplied to a decoding means 14, and a reproduced signal is outputted by the prescribed decoding. When data Dt of plural channels is transferred in time-division manner from the memory means 13 to the decoding means 14, a channel discriminating signal SLR which can discriminate a channel for received each data unit (for example, sound frame) is supplied to the decoder 14.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce the burden on a control means by generating a display time independently of reproduced data to display it as the reproducing time at the time of fast-forwarding reproducing and fast-rewinding reproducing and starting reproducing from a position corresponding to the display time at the time of switching back to the reproducing mode. CONSTITUTION:When a fast-forwarding/fast-rewinding operation key 13 is depressed during reproducing, a system controller 9 is switched from the reproducing mode to the fast-forwarding/fast-rewinding mode to mute the audio output and counts up/down the display time at about 10-fold speed of normal reproducing. When the fast-forwarding/fast-rewinding key is released, the controller 9 is switched back to the reproducing mode to release muting of the audio output and calculates an address on a disk corresponding to the display time displayed on a display device 14 to restart reproducing of a compressed audio signal from this address. Thus, the burden-of the system control means is reduced.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily control additional information and TOC data on main data stored in an external memory area in a disk reproducing device successively reading out after the reproduced recording data are written and stored in a storage means temporarily. CONSTITUTION:An exclusive address generation means 8B generating an address in the storage means 9 based on the control data of a micro computer 11 is provided, and a second data area storing additional information on the main data is accessed directly. Thus, the control at every unit data is realized since it becomes possible that the additional information on the main data are read out as well simultaneously at the time of reproducing the main data.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the error of a recording operation even if there is a defect at a recording start point by changing the recording start point by a prescribed quantity and restarting the recording operation when the defect of a recording medium is discriminated to exist at the recording start point. CONSTITUTION:A system controller 11 decreases the AGC time constant of an RF amplifier 7 and starts recording as well after waiting usually for 6.7msec when an optical head 3 and a magnetic head 6 arrives at the sector where the recording is executed at the time of recording. The laser power is lowered down to the level at the time of reproduction when the recording operation error is generated by the presence of a flaw in the sector at this time. The recording is started after waiting for 5.7msec upon arrival again at the recording start sector. The recording is similarly started after waiting for 7.7msec at the recording operation when the error arises again. As a result, the normal recording operation is continued without receiving the influence of the flaw.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily conduct recording reproduction by a cluster unit, and besides, to easily obtain the position of a sector at which the recording is started or playing time from a cluster address and a sector address by storing the interleave of data in one cluster within a cluster connecting sector so as not to influence the neighboring cluster. CONSTITUTION:The cluster address and the sector address are preformatted on a magneto-optical disk 1, and simultaneously, digital data is clustered for every sector of the prescribed number, and the cluster connecting sector longer than interleave length is formed at the connecting part of every cluster, and the digital data is interleaved and recorded. A system controller 7 controls the access operation of an optical head 3 and the write/read operation of RAMs 14, 22, on the basis of these reproduced addresses so as to record/reproduce the data.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To shorten the access time by moving a pickup to the TOC (table of contents) area on a disk to read the absolute time from the TOC area and moving the pickup based on this absolute time at the time of accessing music which is not stored in a TOC memory. CONSTITUTION:When the number of musics of TOC data on a compact disk 1 is larger than a maximum number Nmax of musics which can be stored in a TOC memory 11, TOC data of first Nmax - number of musics are stored in the TOC memory 11. When a music number is designated from an input memory 12 but the designated music is not stored in the TOC memory 11, a pickup 6 is moved to the TOC area on the innermost periphery of the compact disk 1 to read out the absolute time of the start of this music from the TOC area of the compact disk 1, and the pickup 3 is moved to the position indicated by this absolute time. Thus, the pickup 3 accesses music by the absolute time to shorten the access time.
