Abstract: An optical disk player for simultaneously reading data recorded on different areas of the optical disk is disclosed. The optical disk player provides a plurality of pairs of optical pick-ups and pick-up positioning mechanisms. A rotational speed of the optical disk is controlled according to a synchronization signal obtained from a first pick-up and the first pick-up can read the recorded data by a normal method, however, other pick-ups need to change read rates according to respective linear velocity. Therefore, reading speed changing circuits are provided for each of the optical pick-ups except a first pick-up and they change read rates according to linear velocities of the optical disk at reading positions.
