Abstract:
PURPOSE:To stabilize recording operation, to improve recording characteristics, to prevent the effect of the adhesion of dust and to obviate the abrasion of a magnetic head by forming a laser-beam incidence plane, to which an optical head is faced oppositely, optically smoothly and forming an active layer having excellent smoothness to another opposed surface. CONSTITUTION:A laser-beam incident side surface 1a as one surface oppositely faced to an optical head of a transparent substrate 1 is formed optically smoothly, and a signal recording layer 2 formed to a surface 1b on the reverse side oppositely faced to the laser-beam incident side surface 1a is composed of an amorphous ferromagnetic layer having the axis of easy magnetization in the direction vertical to a film surface. A protective film layer 3 formed onto the signal recording layer 2 protects the recording layer 2 from a shock from the outside and the contact of foreign matters, and a smooth layer 5 having excellent smoothness is shaped onto the protective film layer 3 through an adhesive layer 4. When recording is conducted by a contact type magnetic head in a magneto-optical disk, the smooth layer 5 makes the magnetic head follow up to the surface swing of the magneto-optical disk. Accordingly, recording operation of stabilized, recording characteristics are improved, an effect by dust is prevented and the abrasion of the magnetic head is obviated.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To sufficiently shorten the rising time of the current flowing to the coil of a magnetic head and to reduce electric power consumption by selectively connecting two power supplies of different potentials to both ends of the coil. CONSTITUTION:This driving circuit is provided with the two power supplies of different potentials for supplying currents to the coil 1 of the magnetic head which executes magneto-optical recording and switching elements 2, 4, 5, 8-10 which respectively selectively connect the power supplies 3, 6. The circuit is so constituted as to selectively connect the power supplies 3, 6 of different potentials to both ends of the coil 1 by operating the switching elements 2, 4, 5, 8-10 in accordance with recording signals in order to apply the potential difference larger than the potential difference at the time of generation of a stationary magnetic field to both ends of the coil 1 at the time of magnetic field inversion. The rising time of the current flowing in the coil 1 is thereby sufficiently shortened and the electric power consumption is reduced and, therefore, the magnetic head is satisfactorily driven without connecting a resistor for waveform rectification, etc., in parallel to the coil 1.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce power consumption without losing the response characteristic of a drive current by retarding a change point of a drive current with respect to the switching point of an original drive signal by a prescribed time and turning on a switching element in advance forming a drive current path within a prescribed time. CONSTITUTION:A timing generating circuit 2 is provided between an input terminal 1 and a control terminal for four switch circuits 15, 16, 25, 26 and the four switch circuits 15, 16, 25, 26 are controlled respectively by control signals S2-S5 formed by the timing generating circuit 2. A couple of switch circuits 15, 26 are switched from ON to OFF, the switch circuit 25 is turned on in preceding over the timing when the switch circuit 16 is turned on by a prescribed time. When a couple of switch circuits 16, 25 are switched from ON to OFF, the switch 15 is turned on in preceding over the timing when the switch circuit 26 is turned on by a prescribed time. Thus, the power consumption is reduced without losing the response characteristic.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a signal processing device and a reproduction device, ensuring stable reproduction even if a disk-like recording medium has an increased recording density. SOLUTION: A gradient of a reproduction signal at a polarity changing point is detected, and when it is a predetermined gradient or less, control is performed such that a detected phase error is canceled. When signal amplitude is reduced by increase in recording density and therefore a signal is subjected to intersymbol interference, a polarity changing point of a reproduction signal at the relevant portion is significantly shifted from a polarity changing point to be originally obtained, thereby a phase error increases and consequently a reference clock may be hard to be normally generated. Since a gradient of the reproduction signal is reduced in such a portion where the signal amplitude of the reproduction signal is reduced and a signal is subjected to intersymbol interference, when the phase error, which is detected in the portion where the gradient of the reproduction signal is a predetermined gradient or less, is canceled as above, adverse influence of a large phase error detected in the portion on reference clock generation operation is eliminated, leading to stable reproduction operation.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption and mechanical operation noises by eliminating an unnecessary medium replacing operation during recording medium retrieval. SOLUTION: During initialization, the head data of disks 1a to 1e are stored in the head memory area of a RAM 12, after the initialization, a disk replacing request is made to the disk 1b in the reproducing state of the disk 1a, and when a disk replacing request is made to the disk 1b within 3 seconds, a system controller 11 reads the head data of the disk 1b from the RAM and outputs the same based on the disk replacing request to the disk 1b, but a disk replacing operation is not started. Based on a disk replacing request made to the disk 1c, the head data of the disk 1c is outputted from the RAM, but a replacing operation is not started, either, at this time. If no replacing requests are made within 3 seconds after the replacing request made to the disk 1c, a replacing operation is started, the disk 1c is loaded in a player box 32, data after the head data are read and written in the main memory area of the RAM, and reading is performed after all the data are read.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the music from being played back immediately from its introduction, and the sound from being interrupted. When the user selects a music in a minidisc(MD) changer system, etc. SOLUTION: In DRAM 50, introduction data Da1 of a first music in a first MD, introduction data Db1 of a first music in a second MD,..., are stored. When the user selects the first music of the second MD, the apparatus reads the instruction data Db1 of the first music in the second MD stored in DRAM 50, an ATRAC decoder expands to play back the introduction of the first music in the second MD while it chucks the second MD with a spindle motor to select the first music and writes compressed data following its music's instruction data Db1 in DRAM 50. When the apparatus has read the introduction data Db1 stored in DRAM 50 to the last therefrom, it reads compressed data following the first music's introduction data Db1 from DRAM 50 and the ATRAC decoder expands it.
