Abstract: A recording medium having a SYNC (synchronous code) for synchronizing with data and a DCC (DC cancel code) for suppressing a DC component of a wave form of a signal recorded on the recording medium, the SYNC and the CDD being adjacently recorded on the recording medium. Both the SYNC and DCC are patterns that are not present in a data portion.

Abstract: A record disc reproducing apparatus, which can be used for searching for a desired track location rapidly, including a pick-up device for reading data from the disc and which is movable is a radial direction with respect to the disc and a driver for driving the pick-up device radially with respect to the disc. The moving velocity of the pick-up device is detected and used to produce a velocity signal corresponding to the moving velocity. A kick signal is generated to energize the driver and is controlled so that the velocity signal approaches a predetermined reference velocity value. During track seeking the apparatus eliminates or removes the effects of phase compensation used during reproduction.

Abstract: A record disc reproducing apparatus determines the magnitude and polarity of the difference between a preselected data address and a current data address and moves a pickup assembly in a direction to reduce that difference until it drops below a prescribed address tolerance. The amount of movement can either be a given distance or some fraction either of the difference between the current and prescribed data addresses, or of the breadth of a program portion.

Abstract: A scanning servo system, that is, a focusing servo system or a tracking servo system, for an optical-disc information reproducing apparatus includes (a) a light source for generating a light beam to scan a selected track location on an optical-disc wherein the information is stored as a series of pits arranged in the form of the track; (b) an objective lens for applying a scanning spot of the light beam to the selected track location; (c) a transducer for converting an optical signal or an image of the pit into an electric signal; (d) an actuator for driving the objective lens in response to the electric signal in a direction vertical or radial to the optical-disc, thereby causing the scanning spot to scan the selected track location accurately, the actuator being variable in its response characteristics in response to the electric signal; (e) a circuit for detecting a dropout of the information on the selected track location and generating a responsive signal to the dropout of information; (f) a circuit for

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the rotational speed of a recording disc to a constant linear velocity. The apparatus has frequency and phase control circuits which detect the variations of the frequency and phase of the digital information signal reproduced from the disc, to detect the rotation speed of the disc. The rotation of the disc is controlled in response to the control signals from the frequency and phase control circuit to a constant linear velocity.

Abstract: A PCM signal processing circuit records a predetermined number of PCM signals and also parity signals and a CRC signal after conversion into a signal having a data format conforming to the television signal with a VTR and detects the PCM signals from the reproduced signal from the VTR. In this PCM signal processing circuit, when the preset bit number of the PCM signals is greater than a reference bit number, the number of parity signals is reduced, and extra bit portions of the individual PCM signals are allotted to the vacant parity signal slot obtained as a result of the reduction of the parity signal number.
