Abstract:
A connection mode of a plurality of arbitrarily connected storage units is detected and the plurality of storage units is controlled according to the detected connection mode. Six storage modules MOD1 to MOD6 are connected in series. A total voltage V(Total) and individual output voltages V(1) to V(6) of respective storage modules are supplied to an output controller ICNT. A controller PR of the output controller ICNT determines the connection mode depending on whether a determination equation is satisfied. When the number of storage modules is set to N, the total output voltage is set to V(Total), the individual output voltages are set to V(1),V(2),..., and V(N), and the number of parallels of the connection mode is set to M, (determination equation: V(1) = V(2) = ... = V(N) = (1/M) x V(Total)) is used. When the determination equation is satisfied, (N/M) parallel M series is determined.

Abstract:
AFTER THE INITIATION OF WRITING AN OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM AN LPF IS SAMPLED IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH A PORTION WITH A PREDETERMINED PULSE WIDTH OF RECORDING DATA, SO AS TO OBTAIN A PIT LEVEL. IN THE RESULTANT SIGNAL, ITS VARYING PORTIONS WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE MULTI-PULSE TRAINS OF THE WRITE SIGNAL ARE SMOOTHED. A CONTROLLER MODIFIES A LEVEL OF A TARGET LEVEL SIGNAL TO BE SUPPLIED TO AN APC CIRCUIT IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE PIT LEVEL BECOMES AN OPTIMUM PIT LEVEL WHICH HAS BEEN OBTAINED PRIOR TO THE INITIATION OF WRITING.

Irrespective to the type of reproduced data from the optical pickup (8), the optical disk apparatus greatly increases the quality of the reproduced data as information transfer accuracy as compared with a conventional disk optical system.
Abstract:
A laser light beam is illuminated via an objective lens on the signal surface of an optical disc and the objective lens is displaced by a servo processor along the optical axis for focussing search to generate focussing error signals by a RF block from a detected output of the laser light by the signal surface of the optical disc. Based on these focussing error signals, a system controller discriminates the types of the optical disc having different numbers of signal recording layers for setting an operating mode in keeping with the types of the optical disc.
