  • Patent number: 6714496
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a tilt in a disc player includes a disc insertion judgment step, a focus error output time judgment step, a subtraction step, a disc recording surface judgment step, and a tilt calibration step. In the focus error output time judgment step, an optical pickup unit is made to ascend and then descend for a predetermined time, to then judge a first focus error output time at which a focus error is output during ascending and a second focus error output time at which a focus error is output during descending. A focus error output difference time is obtained by subtracting the FET1 from the FET2. In the tilt calibration step, if the FET is not same as a reference focus error output difference time (FETrf), the turntable is made to rotate, to calibrate a tilt between the optical pickup unit and the disc.

  • Patent number: 5607357
    Abstract: A video apparatus comprises both a video cassette recorder for recording or reproducing a video signal from an external source and a game signal processing part for executing a game program. A remote-controlled transmitter transmits a signal to a remote-controlled receiver. A decoder decodes the signal and a microprocessor selects either game mode or VCR mode which is output via a RF modulator to a video screen. At least one encoder and processor is provided which enables the system to process game signals and output the video signal in game mode to the video screen.
