Abstract: A recording medium recording and reproducing apparatus prevents a recording medium from being ejected when information is being recorded on the recording medium. A recording medium conveying mechanism conveys the recording medium from an insertion/eject position to a loading position. The recording medium is inserted or ejected at the insertion/eject position, and is loaded for a recording or reproducing operation at the loading position. A head writes information on the recording medium or reads information recorded on the recording medium. A head moving mechanism moves the head to a recording and reproducing position at which the head performs a recording or reproducing operation. The head is moved in association with conveyance of the recording medium by the recording medium conveying mechanism. The head moving mechanism locks the recording medium conveying mechanism when the recording medium is positioned at the loading position.

Abstract: An optical disk device has a unit for counting data read errors from an optical disk and a unit for reducing a playback speed of an optical disk. When a number of data read errors occurring in a predetermined period of time exceeds a predetermined value the playback speed reducing unit reduces the playback speed of the optical disk. As a result, repetition of error detection and consequent reduction in playback speed with each data read command when reading defective sectors of an optical disk can be prevented and the time required for error detection and speed reduction thereby eliminated, greatly improving overall average playback speed.
