  • Patent number: 7885159
    Abstract: The method prevents an optical disk from being scraped by an optical apparatus of a pickup head of an optical disc drive is disclosed, it mainly includes: moving the optical apparatus of the pickup head to a detection position in which the laser-light emitted from the pickup head focuses on the optical disk; detecting the first-detection position and setting a movement boundary according to the first-detection position, wherein the movement boundary has a upper boundary and a bottom boundary; preventing the optical apparatus from moving out of the movement boundary. The present method can be implemented without installing any additional apparatus in the original video disc player, and can prevent the optical disk and the inner apparatus of the optical disc drive from being scraped or damaged by the pickup head during a read/write process to increase the service life of the optical disk and the optical disc drive.

  • Publication number: 20060171273
    Abstract: A method for compensating frequency response of an actuator in an optical disc drive is provided. The present invention utilizes the temperature sensor within the optical pick-up head to sense work temperature. When the work temperature rises to a presetting threshold value, the servo system will induce the appropriated equalizer to compensate the frequency response of the actuator according to this work temperature, such that the servo controlling of the optical disc drive can operate accurately both in the high temperature condition and in the low temperature condition.

  • Publication number: 20060140073
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic adjustment procedure of optical drive are disclosed. The steps of the method include determining tracking error signals of the inner and the outer zone of the disk, respectively. A difference of the tracking error signal between the inner and the outer-diameter zones of the disk is calculated. The difference of the tracking error signal between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the disc is compensated.
